He was killed by his nephew Prince Musaed and I think his reason is to become king of Saudi Arabia and Prince Musaed killed him during a ceremony but I forgot the date when he was assassinated.

ANSWER FROM FAUZUL ARIFIN On March 25, 1975, Faisal was shot point blank and killed by his half brother's son Faisal bin Musa'id, who had just come back from the United States. The murder occurred at a majlis, (Arabic for "sitting") an event where the king or leader opens up his residence to the citizens to enter and petition the king. Prince Faisal Bin Musa'id was captured directly after the attack and declared officially insane. He was later found guilty of regicide and in June 1975 he was beheaded in the public square in Riyadh. Faisal was buried in Riyadh, and was succeeded by his half-brother, Khalid.
