This is front-page news in France, and the French President, Emmanuel Macron, has responded to the location. Le Figaro reports that according to police sources, the killer is a Muslim of Russian nationality, born in Moscow in 2002.

Fousesquawk comment: Reasonable people can disagree on the subject of Mohammad cartoons. I myself am not comfortable with them and do not show them though I support freedom of expression and an open discussion on Islamic terrorism and the teachings of Islam. I have posted images against Islamic radicalism and will continue to do so.

But there is never any excuse for murdering someone because they have insulted your religion.  The larger problem is that this is not an isolated incident, and clear links can be found between this type of murder and Islamic teaching when it comes to blasphemy. It may be OK in Saudi Arabia or Iran. It is not OK in the West.
