#2  Officials said the alleged hitman believed Dixon to be an informant
Police are investigating the shooting and no one has been arrested

So they can determine the motivation of this (apparent theft) without a suspect, but if he'd said "Allahu Akhbar!" the motivation would be undetermined, amirite?
