the cops didn’t know at the time that this kid was involved in a crime...THEY ARE NOT JUDGE AND JURY.......

Sorry, but it appears that the whole department knew and was actively seeking this guy. Facts matter.

The dead man was known to be armed, investigation for murder the day previously, shot at cops, killed already, fleeing from arrest on felony murder. Not sure where the disconnect is for you.

Tragic but just per CA law. And MO etc.

Yes they did. He committed a murder the day before (drive-by shooting which his brother admitted to) and they were trying to arrest him for that when he fled.
