[Cicero]

Usually “homicide” implies murder. I hope that’s not the case here, since it would seem to be justifiable self defense.

[LukeL]

All deaths caused by another person are called homicide by definition. When a person is executed by the state the coroner lists the death as a homicide.

‘Usually “homicide” implies murder’...

But not neccessarily, you’ve heard of justifiable homicide.
