His death was the latest in a string of murders and assassinations targeting intellectuals.
Following Mashzoub's death, Baghdad's annual international book fair that ran 7–18 February 2019 was named after him.
Iraqi President Barham Salih addressed the book fair to express his "deep regret and condemnation" of the assassination, which "obligates us, as officials and as a society, to make an extraordinary effort to uncover the perpetrators, arrest them, and to bring them to justice, and to work diligently, in security, and in intelligence, as well as politically and socially, to make this crime another motivation to uproot violence and terrorism and any threat to the life, security and dignity of the citizen."
Mashzoub's death was protested in the streets of Baghdad, including in one protest organized by the Union of Iraqi Writers.
