I wouldn’t characterize it as an assassination, myself
…I feel that calling this an assassination is somehow dignifying the murder/murderer, and taking into account too much the murderer’s beliefs/policies. I can understand using the term “assassination” if you take down a brutal warlord, say, or a head of state who’s leading a genocide or in some other way doing significant harm to the world (Trump or Putin, perhaps). But this was the senseless murder of a peaceful, cultured, positive, and intelligent person. Please let’s not try to assign, or seem to be assigning, any sense to it…

??? assassination is a neutral word, I don’t get the logic here. There’s nothing dignified/undignified about it.
