Organised crims aren't necessarily disciplined and smart. Often, they're combustible psychopaths. The guy I knew who was gunned down had the misfortune of allowing a guy to do some minor work on his shop in return for some free product from time to time. But it became obvious this was an extortion racket as the guy then demanded money and returned for more after being paid a grand to get rid of him. He was then thrown out of the shop.
A crime writer in The Age IIRC wrote a really eye-opening story about Jason Moran after he was gunned down. Apparently there'd been a minor traffic dispute and Moran had followed the other driver to a red light. As the reporter noted, the victim was probably feeling pretty safe when a guy wearing a Zegna suit got out of a Merc, but he hadn't noticed that he was carrying a baseball bat. The guy and his car were smacked around pretty good and the victim reported it to the police. The police took a statement from him but the police had to advise him that the perp was none other than Jason Moran of the notorious Moran family. Not surprisingly, the victim decided he didn't want to take it any further.
Then you have Jane Thurgood-Dove, a humble mother of 3, who was gunned down in her driveway with her kids in the car by a hitman who got the wrong person.
