I’ll be surprised if this doesn’t go to court at least as a wrongful death trial. The shot man approached the car, struck it with the right hand holding the gun, which was stupid, then transfered it to the left hand which the court could say was an effort to lowering his defenses. It appeared, fom what we could see, when he lowered it he was not “on the trigger” and the gun was pointed down. This mght get interesting in a stand your ground call.

The attorneys might make that claim, but it was no such thing. You can shoot with the left hand just as well as the right hand for close range.
The aggressor was a lethal and immediate threat the instant he stepped out of his vehicle with a gun in hand. Doesn't matter which hand.
It was a good self-defense shoot.
According to this article, the shooter was released.
In a wrongful death suit, the plaintiff would have to show that the victim's negligence did not materially contribute to the death. The victim banging on the truck with a gun in his hand while screaming at the driver would make that very a difficult argument.
All that don’t mean jack s**t. The gunman changing hands has zip to do with anything. Trust me here.
Anyone approaching someone’s vehicle with a gun in hand, in a threatening manner no less, during a road rage incident no less, should be immediately dropped, exactly like the victim did to the gunman in this case.
The last thing the driver saw was a gun in his right hand. The driver couldn’t have seen the swap, so for all he knew, the gun was in the right hand. Anyone in the same situation would have believed the same thing. Split second decision had to be made. Not guilty.
