That's what IMO doesn't make this a pro. A pro would've likely taken her out as well. This was an amateur who was either hired or he was pissed off
Disagree. The guy knows he is on camera. He also knew she wasnt a threat. What information is that woman going to give law enforcement that the video wouldn't?
Also it isn't like some rando is going to know the CEOs schedule.
Weird case. Dude was cool and had the 'look' of someone that has done this before, especially given how he causally walked away.
But...
Then struggles with his weapon leaving 3 live 9mm rounds and some brass. You would think a pro would know his ammo and weapon and quickly police the brass. Yet the dude was coldly ruthless.
Like I said odd.
Tells me that pistol is at the bottom of the river or melted down. Non concerns of spent rounds being traced back to the pistol.
Uh, I don't think even the best assassin in the world is going to recover his spent rounds on the sidewalk in Manhattan
If I were an assassin, I would use a .22 or 9mm suppressed PCC with some type of catch-bag.
Although, what are the odds they are able to get anything of value from the casings if he even took the most basic of precautions?
A professional would have taken him out without any witnesses, knowing how the avoid cameras, and have a better way to leave the area than a rented, electric bike.
Mossad uses a suppressed .22 short as a favorite assassination weapon.
Also, .45ACP is favored by the US military as it is naturally subsonic compared to 9mm. That is why the H&K Mark-23 is designed to specifically be used with a suppressor.
"If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without blood shed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves." - Sir Winston Churchill
