“Homicide” simply means “killed by deliberate acts of a human”. So, no surprise.

It will definitely add fuel but unfortunately most people don't know that "homicide" in a medical examiner's report does not equal "murder". It simply means that the person died as a result of another person's actions - intentional or unintentional.

Edit: @brihard beat me to it.

I don't see how they could have ruled it anything else...

Renee Good had 0 bullets/GSWs in her body pre-mortem and had 3 bullets/GSWs in her body post-mortem.

Apart from some weird medical condition I haven't heard of, someone else put those bullets/GSWs there in the time in-between, making it some form of homicide. The fact that it was a federal agent putting those bullets/GSWs makes little difference medically.

Now if it's manslaughter/murder to what degree... that's the sticking point.

“Homicide” simply means “killed by deliberate acts of a human”. So, no surprise.

To expand, the choices typically enumerated are "natural causes, accident/misadventure, suicide, homicide, and undetermined/other". Maybe the particular ME in question has more or different, but obviously it wasn't natural, accidental, or suicide. It'd be a stretch to pretend it should be "other".
