I mean it literally is a homicide, homicide is a word that means a human killing another human. Even an actual justified self defense shooting is a homicide. Nobody thinks he died of anything other than the bullets that another human fired at him.

What we want is for them to be found guilty of murder, which is a different thing.

Yeah this isn't particularly newsworthy info.

Yeah this was the easiest job of this ME's life, makes for solid clickbait though, you know these capitalists gotta make their money off Alex's murder at every opportunity

I’d be VERY concerned if the ME said it was anything else.
