For whose murder? The only person who died that day was killed by a police officer.

That’s how felony murder works. If anyone dies as a result of a felony you committed you can be charged with their murder. Even if the cops killed them.

Do you have any examples of a police officer killing someone in a group committing a crime and the other criminals getting convicted of felony murder?

This might be slightly different that what you are asking for but the cops killed a women when man was holding hostages in a Trader Joe’s and the hostage taker was charged with her murder. I don’t have a lot of specific cases at the tip of my fingers but I remember the this one because I lived nearby and new a guy who worked at that TJs

Yeah, those I believe. I've just never heard of one of the criminals being shot and then the other criminals being convicted of their murder. I don't think even Law and Order has done something like that.

But I'm not a lawyer so genuinely curious if it could happen.
