The adjective "assassinated" (noun assassination) means killed for a political or social reason, rather than entirely for personal motives. Because this involves prominent individuals, the term is often questionably applied to killings of other famous people.

Historically, many world leaders have been assassinated, the majority because they stood in the way of some person or group obtaining power of their own.

Four US Presidents were assassinated : Lincoln, Garfield, McKinley, and Kennedy. Only Lincoln's death is indisputably considered a political act, by John Wilkes Booth acting along with other Southern sympathizers.

An assassin is a person who cold-bloodedly kills another. It is used primarily for people who kill political leaders or for people who are hired killers. The word comes from a group of Ismailite Muslims in the 11th century, who trained some of their members to secretly murder key persons in the enemy's organization, which they apparently did quite successfully.

It's another word for murder, and is used specifically for the deliberate killing of a prominent person, usually for payment and/or political reasons.
