Of course it's a homicide. Nobody is suggesting the dead guy accidentally jumped in front of shooter's bullet, are they? What in the hell else would they be investigating it as?

What exactly do you suppose the writer thinks homicide means?

Dat rat der is funny! I can almost see you with your eyes wide saying that, exasperated.


"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.

I suspect he is conflating the terms "homicide" and "murder". Although "murders" are "homicides", the converse is not necessarily the case.
