Gun jamming, having to adjust it.

Not professional.
Not experienced.
Poor planning.

Commits the murder in a busy part of a very busy city.
Leaves video evidence, fingerprints at the crime scene.

In the video does the shooter call the victim's name or shout something so the victim turns around and looks at the shooter?

Trying to determine how personal the murder was.
If the shooter was angry.

We don't even know if the CEO was the intended victim.
