This supposed assassin was in no danger of being frisked so why not just up and shoot him? Did he go into the bathroom for element of surprise or to take a deep breath before he killed Tony?
The members only jacket guy definitely didn't cowboy up if he had to go to the bathroom first.

Coming out of the bathroom was the perfect angle to whack Tony without taking out a family member as well (especially since Meadow wasn't there yet, which is another hint), and without Tony seeing him to get a shot off himself (the door, and the counter where he was sitting, was directly in Tony's line of sight).
I do think though, there could have been a clearer hint somewhere about WHO would be taking Tony out at this point.
