Kirk has these big events, but he isn't surrounded like that all the time. He doesn't have Secret Service. There have to be plenty of opportunities where a professional killer would be able to get to Kirk with fewer wild card variables like all the folks/potential witnesses at an event like this. If you're pro, you want to get rid of the target where it can't be witnessed.

So the person who did this wanted it seen.

What their motivation could have been, I can't say. But they wanted to make a splash.
