It's not official at this time that Horowitz' wife was murdered, but it is suspected; confirmation of that suspicion will come after the autopsy scheduled to be performed tomorrow. Hopefully subsequent investigation will reveal if this might be related to his line of work. The article does state that his friend acknowledged safety was an ongoing concern - threats and the like going hand-in-hand with Horowitz' interaction with serious criminals.
