All right, crazy-ish android theories.
1) He had a specific reason to kill Anderson. Perhaps he, and the nanites, were part of some off-the-grid project Anderson was involved in? The android escaped with some stolen nanites and is now trying to kill everyone involved in the project.
2) The android takes orders from somebody else, and has some kind of safety precaution that doesn't let him kill unless he has a direct order. (Or maybe not at all? He didn't directly kill Dr. Anderson, technically the preprogrammed nanites did that.)
3) He has nothing to do with the killings. Instead, the actual culprits found this android who had set himself up with an obviously fake human identity, and made their own android designed to look just like him (or otherwise copied his appearance). Then on the offchance police got a description of their killer, they'd chase down Rayt because his fake identity would throw up all kinds of red flags.
Not sure how to go about actually investigating any of these theories right now, other than the first by looking into Anderson's past activities.
For the moment, checking the apartment for possible clues would be good, maybe we can find out if he contacted anyone. And ask the neighbors some questions.
When we've done what we can here, I think we want to take a look at Bolton next.
