"Assassinated" implies more station than is a CEO's due. This was just another criminal getting capped in the streets by someone he pissed off and should be investigated as rigorously as when it involves less wealthy gangsters.
"Assassination" is actually more appropriate because the term implies that there are political reasons for the killing and to suggest that our health insurance industry is not politicised would be laughable.
I disagree, we know how violent These People are. The victim decedent was probably got "iced" by one of the "homies" of someone he pissed off, most likely over crack rock, marihuana, or other hard drugs. This is what happens when father figures aren't in the picture.
