Speculation or not there were clues sprinkled around to why Reiko was murdered. For one there was mention of a Student who was chosen to be non existent and flipped out when he couldn't handle the pressure of being ignored. The other being Akazawa's suicide. While the Calamity does influenence all deaths, accidents, illnesses, murder and suicide. The latter two often need the right push to commit. In the case of Kubodera, the pressures of keeping his class safe and tending to his sick mother made him snap when numerous deaths made him feel like a failure. So in order for Akazawa to commit suicide even with the Calamity's influence, he probably had a motive to do so. The only things I can think of as the cause would be, him being the Non-existent student and going nuts when he couldn't handle it, then if he did kill Reiko, the guilt that he felt from it may have driven him to suicide.
