I tried this link and there is nothing about it being an assassination. It appears to be an typicla criminal act.

Killed because he was in a car from Arizona. No two ways about it. Politically motivated. Perhaps not assassination in a sense of a public official, but definitely targeted because he was from Arizona. There is no doubt in my mind.
