As to the issue, my point remains. If this kid hadn't been committing the crimes he initiated, he'd be alive today.

Okay, that's fair. The kid committed a crime, a misdemeanor, which he chose to commit. I'm not aware of any law that requires the death penalty for a misdemeanor. Neither does this rise to the level of a self defense shooting as I have exhautively noted in a previous post. So....Does the shooter go to jail if he is ever located?

As I've already stated, yes. He goes to jail. Manslaughter is still manslaughter. Being provoked into his actions should be considered during sentencing. This, however, does not rise to the level of pre-meditated murder as has been suggested.
