There’s a show called “Air Disasters” and in two of the episodes the pilots responded to the loss of an engine by shutting down the working one.

Not saying that’s what happened here.

Bird strikes on or just after take off can do it.

Bad fuel?

Off the top of my head, from most likely to least:

Fuel starvation due to error, on the ground, in flight, or both
Cargo flight? Don’t rule out insurance fraud…
Bad fuel
Mechanical failure, most likely due to negligence by a small company

Fuel problems or an incredible double engine failure which is rare in the extreme, but it could happen.
