Well, to be really reductive... --The shooting occurred for reasons having to do either with "business", or with some kind of personal dispute. If "business", was the problem a falling out with an associate--the authorities not involved--or did it have to do with testimony that had been offered, or would be offered, in one of the cases under investigation? --Were both men intended victims, or only Chalem? The press says that the two men "worked together" in the Colts Neck house. But it's a fairly long commute from Long Island. How often did Lehmann visit? --Why were Chalem and Lehmann shot in the dining room? Had they been working there? Had they invited their assassins to have a look at whatever it was they were doing? Or did the killers simply back them in there, off the foyer? --Why were the victims' cell phones so handy? Nearly all the press reports describe them as being "inches from their fingers". When I'm at home, or in someone else's home, I put my cell phone down and leave it where I've put it. --Did the victims know their killers? Hard to say. Most people check to see who's there before opening the door, and there were apparently no signs of forced entry. --Did the victims have an appointment with their killers? Seems doubtful. They could have told someone about it, made notes in advance that the killers couldn't be sure of finding. The killers could have requested secrecy, though that in itself should have sent a warning to anyone with sense. --The house has been described as a "gated mansion". Is there really a gate? Was it open? I assume so. Did Chalem normally leave it open during the day? Or was it left that way because someone was expected? --It's said that both men were shot in the legs, presumably before they were shot in the head. Were they interrogated before the actual execution took place?
