It probably is not a professional hit. I read an interview about it with a professor of criminal law who has spent decades studying professional killers, and he mentioned several things that would be very unusually for an actual professional hit.
I don't remember all of them, but a big one was the timing and location. Professional hitmen learn the target's routine and make the hit somewhere where there won't be many people around and there is less chance of something interfering with getting away.
This guy did it in a crowded area, that is full of cameras, and even stopped at a Starbucks beforehand to buy some things.
I've also seen a few comments from experts about the gun. It seems to be a gun that a professional hitman would be unlikely to use. Here's an article that quotes several of these experts on the oddities of the gun [1].
