Maybe, but that’s only going to happen through a broader movement and not through a single killing. And organizing a movement to kill enough people will be difficult or impossible (and I believe unethical but I understand I’m in the minority there). OP had it backwards—nonviolent resistance is actually much easier because of state repression, not in spite of it.
Also, I think without deconstructing the structures that produce such outcomes, it would be at best a temporary improvement.
Luigi wasn't working in an organised group though.. he was a disgruntled citizen fucked over by our healthcare system like many, many others in this country. You don't need to organise shit when you're denied life-saving treatment and have nothing to lose by offing another greedy billionaire. Wouldn't surprise me if we start seeing more Luigi's until our government and the billionaires who control it start listening.
