Does any political office count?

What about school board or a principal?

What about a chess champion?

What if you’re the prime witness to a huge crime?

Military leaders? Chief of police?

Youtubers, podcasters?

CEO? Small bussiness owner? Manager of a store?

Does popularity matter, or is it only importance?

And lets say the leader of a country got killed, but its by their relative for, say, getting bulled as a kid, and the movive has nothing to do with their position of power? Does that count as an “assassination”?

    So the only possible definition left is that an assassination is a killing that serves an end instead of being the end itself.

    So every murder of a parent or spouse to get inheritance or insurance money is an assassination? That seems a bit too broad.

    Also I can think if like a dozen possible other definitions that have not been ruled out.
