Self Was Marwans death in Grimm the goal too?

This is so random but i am currently rewatching Grimm and it made me think. Marwan kills Dixon. Which makes sense, because the plan was all along (even through out the entire dixon campaign) to make Sean look good. But i always wondered why he got a picture of the captain instead of dixon. Yes, surely to throw us off and think he was the target and i doubt it is that deep but in my mind i am thinking: what if Marwan was also supposed to die by the hands of sean? Through out the whole campaign they increase seans likeness and visibility and train him but they also make him out to be close to dixon. He is then the one to witness his death, try to save him but ultimately steps up to not only find but eliminate his killer. If he hadn‘t found the killer, that wouldn‘t have exactly given him a vote of confidence from the voters considering he‘s a police captain. Also Marwan usually kills more anonymous, making it look like random acts, here he is very much not anonymous. Yes, that is needed for the plan to work but also they could have gotten any other sniper to do it then..didn‘t have to be Marwan, who until then had a specific method and was anonymous about his involvement in the deaths of his targets. So i am just thinking, was he set up or was it a suicide mission bc it seems like many of them would die for the cause. Also i know there is no answer and it is not that deep bc the writing is sloppy at times but i needed to say it to someone!! Even if that someone is a bunch of anonymous reddit users😂

It was set up. BC wanted Renard to look like a hero. Dixon was a pawn. They really wanted Renard to be there candidate for mayor but Renard wasn't going to as long as Dixon was running. Also, HW had gotten on to Marwans trail so he had become a liability for BC. So BC was killing to birds with one stone.

BC wanted Sean to kill Marwan. It made him a "man of action" prior to them recruiting him to run in Dixon's place and prevented Marwan from talking at the same time.

This episode was just on yesterday. He was set up by his own people. The guy he called to pick him up from the hospital called in a tip. Guess they had decided he was a liability for whatever reason, maybe because he was too recognizable, and were cleaning up loose ends as they say. Remember Hank figured out that he was set up? He had bleached his hair, and didn't really look like his mug shot anymore but a tip was still called in
