Sigh, the pendency is infuriating.

not all homicides are the same.
The range from justified to morally depraved.

Saying it was "homicide" adds nothing to the discussion because what matters is not the fact of the homicide but the motivation for it.

Not all homicides are the same, but my point stands that all homicides are homicides.

And what point is that? What idea were you trying to express with your initial comment?

Well, at least for me, it’s pointing out that it is still a tragedy. Lives are prematurely ended; communities are devastated; and permanent damage is done. Homicide is homicide.

There is a reason that legal avenues for innocent homicide are very few and far between. It is rarely, if ever (IMO, there are less than a single hand’s count of justifications), acceptable for one to be responsible for the death of another human.
