AFAIK two effects were immediate.

1) Some CEOs stopped posting their photos and other information online, clearly understanding they too could become targets and somewhat lowering the social prestige of that position.

2) One insurance company backed down from its attempt to decide how long anaesthesia should last instead of the doctors.

A long term effect is that many podle feel empowered to talk about how big companies and abusing the system and what they think should happen to people controlling those companies.

Look how many doctors and nurses started taking about the abusive practices of insurance companies. Hopefully it leads to change, otherwise it's likely events like this will keep happening, especially when the abused are people who have little to lose.

The first as an effect is negligible and likely extremely temporary. The second I'm unfamiliar about and also likely extremely temporary. Your long term effect I disagree with. I don't think the murder made people feel any more empowered than they were before. But if you want to make that as an example then I think I have roughly about as much evidence that it empowers people to think murdering cops for the same power dynamics at play.
