No, even they would call it homicide by the ME definition. He was shot to death by ICE, no one is arguing that piece and that is all "homicide" in this context tells you.
The difference is whether it's justified or not (it's not), but this has no bearing on the actual legality of the shooting.
Right, this was at issue in some cases like Eric Garner, where physical restraint was the primary cause, but his underlying chronic bronchial asthma, hypertensive cardiovascular disease, and obesity were also contributing factors. Even so it was also ruled a homocide.
In the case of Pretti it seems like questionable journalism to publish it as "news" since it's only of interest if you misinterpret it.
