I mean, clearly, an Assassination is the murder of somebody famous... but how famous do you have to be for your murder to be considered an assassination?
And how would you measure how famous somebody is?

What if somebody becomes famous after they're murdered? Does that change the murder to an assassination? Probably not in most cases (ex: you wouldn't say that Caylee Anthony was assassinated)... but what if the murder was for all the same reasons that "publicly or politically prominent people are premeditatedly and treacherously murdered?"
Let me know what you think.
Also the word assassination can be visually depicted thusly:
