This is a story that , justly or not, unfolds hundreds if not thousands of times a day.
It’s not the first time, and won’t be the last, that the affected person has the right combination of dark triad traits and appropriate experiences to make personal vengeance a viable response.
As someone who recently lost their spouse of 16 years to cancer, I can say that in the right circumstances this might be an understandable, if not justifiable, response to that kind of stress.
Health care execs are always under litigation. They are the named officers of their corporate units and therefore the legal representatives of their entities.
Private health care aggrieves hundreds to thousands of people a day. It’s rather someone who lost a loved one or who is in financial distress due to decisions made by this corporation than some deep dark conspiracy.
That doesn't align with the characteristics of a typical personal vendetta.
Don't underestimate the amount of thought someone truly resentful will put to this kind of action.

and this virtually never happens. Sure, on one side, it's bound to happen eventually, but from the other, "aggrieved loved one" is in good cover if you need that guy dead.
Not sure about testify, but there is a probe and he is not the only implicated exec.
“He was in possession of a ghost gun that had the capability of firing a 9-mm round and a suppressor,” NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch said at a Monday press briefing, adding that the piece “may have been made on a 3-D printer.”
The shooter is not twisting a pulling a welrod style action, they’re racking the slide every time because of the cartridges lack enough power to fully operate the gun’s action with the suppressor attached.
Making it look like a populist vigilante to the point of staging a performative message would be a good way to confuse and throw the investigation.
We’ll see if they find the guy.
