Relevant excerpt with fat and repetition trimmed:

The words "deny," "defend" and "depose" appeared on shell casings recovered from the scene of the shooting in New York City, according to law enforcement officials [who] said they are examining whether the words relate to a possible motive involving insurance companies and their responses to claims. [...] Investigators believe they could reference "the three D's of insurance" coined by the industry's critics, which are "delay," "deny" and "defend."

"Investigators are examining whether water relates to wetting"

That motive narrows down the killer to...every American.
