I was curious about this too, but the crime in question was committed in 2017 against someone Daniel knew from school, so I don't think it was the murderer. There's no excusing what he did, but he wasn't given a death sentence for it.
another reason to think Jones wasn't Daniel's victim was that Jones had printed off a sheet of sex offenders nearby, so that makes it really look like he printed a list and chose someone from the list
EDIT: and yes, extrajudicial killings like when the justice system has already weighed evidence and punished the crime is clearly bad for society - we generally want to restrain killings and violence, lest it get out of control and target innocent people (or as you pointed out, so that it avoids inappropriate punishment of crimes that don't deserve death).
