Occam's razor says you should not multiple entities beyond what is necessary.

Our scenario is this: There's a guy in a vehicle. He is holding a gun. He has a gunshot wound. He has been under a lot of stress.

Explanation 1: The guy shot himself. Number of entities (people) required: 1

Explanation 2: Someone else shot the guy and staged the scene to look like a suicide. Number of entities (people) required: 2

I would agree, except it is not some random average guy in a vehicle.

This was a concern citizen, who was a whistleblower against his employer, who had just begun a legal deposition, and there are billions of dollars at stake.

So - the scenario possibly just isn't that simple.
