Right, so that, unless Nevada is a state where it is legal to use deadly force to prevent theft of property, capping the perp from behind is going to be at least a manslaughter beef. And since they had the perp under aerial surveillance, the only hope is for a jury to find that "he needed killing".
If we have to march off into the next world, let us walk there on the bodies of our enemies.
In Alabama it’s legal to use deadly physical force on someone who has entered your occupied vehicle or removed you from same:

ETA: found the Nevada statute. He would have been fine. I would also argue that temporarily gaining a position of advantage doesn’t mean that dude can’t lean out of the car or window and shoot you before he drives off. And in this situation there was the danger of traffic in every direction and no cover that makes retreat dangerous even though legally he has no duty to retreat.A person may use deadly physical force and is legally presumed to be justified in using deadly physical force in self-defense or in the defense of another person pursuant to section (5), if the person reasonably believes that another person is: [Read appropriate part]
(1) Using or about to use unlawful deadly physical force;

I think this falls under Shooting Incidents since the Florida Man was the victim.
Seems like he needed more gun or more practice.

Adam Simjee and his girlfriend, Mikayla Paulus, both students at the University of Central Florida, were driving along a road when they were “flagged down” by a woman, later identified as Yasmine Hider, who “asked the couple if they could give her some assistance to help get her car started,” FOX 35 Orlando reports.
When the couple attempted to assist Hider, she produced a gun and made the couple walk back into the woods for an attempted robbery, a Clay County Sheriff’s office release says.
At some point, after Hider walked them at gunpoint into the woods, Simjee produced a handgun that was concealed on his person. There was an exchange of gunfire, during which the suspect was shot multiple times. Simjee was struck by gunfire as well and died at the scene. Paulus was not injured in the gunfire exchange and was able to call for help, as well as tell investigators about a second suspect who was watching nearby during the incident.

This happened back in May but this was the first time I heard about it.
The director of a charity decided that an active shooter drill was a good idea. But she decided the best active shooter drill involved 1) not telling the employees ahead of time 2) not telling LE ahead of time 3) basically just having some dude walk in and start blasting blanks everywhere. Unsurprisingly, people were a bit miffed. Oh yeah and the 'shooter' is also up on unrelated sexual assault and child porn charges.
