And had been waiting outside for him for at least 20 minutes... certainly targeted.

Are there scenarios where the police could fail to investigate, knowing the reputation of the shaddy insurance?

If true crime podcasts have taught us anything, it's that police don't really need an excuse to do a shoddy investigation.

And maybe silenced? seems like professional hit from details so far.

It has a lot of signs of a professional hit the more details come out.
