Officer discretion aside, someone was killed during the commission of a crime. That is murder.

Not all homicides are murder.

You are right.

If someone is killed by a perp during the commission of a crime, legally that is murder.

If someone breaks in my house and I kill them, that is justifiable homicide, not murder.
