Here's a thing I think people are missing: it's not a video game so you don't die instantly from such a wound. They didn't find any complete arrows with tips on his person. I think he was making new tips for his arrows when he was ambushed, shot all of his remaining complete arrows at whoever was shooting at him. The murderer ran off and didn't steal his gear as the murderer was part of the same local village/community, of which otzi was also a part. I think otzi was a hunter who traded with the locals and was well known. If the murderer stole otzi's gear, people would recognise it in the village and when otzi didn't turn up for weeks, then months, they would know who had killed him (the guy sporting a nice new copper axe and bear skin cap).
When they start using this theory remember you saw it here first.
