Apparently the bodyguard shot the assassin who died a few hours later at the hospital. You can see him shooting at him at the end of the video while he's on the ground (wounded?)

They are made to penetrate tanks, so no. Purpose made anti-personel stuff is made to blow up and make fragments of whatever not bore a hole into armor.

ATGMs use HEAT (high explosive anti-tank) warheads, which direct the explosion in a single direction to penetrate armor. They're meant to be an alternative to kinetic weapons for punching through armor plates, and thus have very little fragmentation or blast overpressure away from that direction. The explosion looks huge, but it's not doing a whole lot if you're not standing in the missile's direct path. A few 40mm grenades would have been cheaper and done more damage to the group, but those are hard to fire from 2 or 3 miles away.

There's a video out there of a missile hitting a gun emplacement in a damaged building; specifically, it flies over the machine gun and hits the wall behind the crew. Neither are blown apart, and one guy is actually killed by falling out of the building rather than the explosion.

I haven't seen any videos of ATGMs being used against infantry that demonstrated the kind of damage you'd expect from an anti-personnel warhead. All of them have been ones like that: the few people immediately behind the unfortunate sod to get a direct impact from an anti-tank missile and maybe the guys closest to him are toast, while everyone else gets to run away.

Even if the TOW proper uses it, there's a lot of Soviet missiles like the Kornet being used in the area that I don't think ever had HE or fragmentation warheads.

We're planning to do something similar with the US bombing of Al-Jinah mosque in Syria, hopefully get funding to turn it into a VR thing too.
