For what motive?

Don't know if this is confirmed, but when questioned, the killer supposedly cited the name of a religious group.

(19) TMTヒロトコル on Twitter: "報道機関は深い闇にしっかり光を当ててほしい。 【独自】安倍元首相を撃った山上徹也が供述した、宗教団体「統一教会」の名前(現代ビジネス) https://t.co/mUp2wU6zfT" / Twitter

I think that's pretty much confirmed.

The killer says that the "Unification Church" bankrupted his mother, and he shot Abe, because he was somehow involved with it.
