What is an opportunistic killer?

An opportunistic killer is a person who commits murder based on situational circumstances rather than a premeditated plan. They typically take advantage of spontaneous opportunities to kill, often driven by impulse, anger, or the immediate availability of a target. Unlike serial killers, who may have a specific pattern or motive, opportunistic killers may act without a distinct profile or consistent method. Their actions are often unpredictable and can be triggered by various factors in their environment.
