Wrong and illegal are not at all identical. I hope I don't need to give you current and historical examples. The Nazis had a very intense need to put their actions on a 'legal' basis, for instance.

If you want to say the CEO getting popped shouldn't be condoned because there are practical consequences to society of letting vigilantes act, that is one thing.

If you want to say it is metaphysically 'wrong' to murder someone responsible for 1000's (at least) premature deaths due to corporate policies, that's a different lane. Murder in the latter case (or do you not want to call it murder? what do you call it then?) as a solution to increasing corporate profits means they can't complain when someone else murders as a response to their policies- by your own definition.
