Police said Haggins, along with another suspect, walked into the store armed with guns in a reported robbery attempt.

Since Haggins’ death was declared a homicide

How do these two go together? Shot during an armed robbery? Looks like justice.

It was a Homicide. But it was a lawful homicide. all homicide means is the killing of a human. whether it is lawful or unlawful is another issue.

They may actually charge his accomplice with the murder under a felony murder law.

Any homicide is a homicide, even if it is ruled justified, but since his accomplice died in the commission of a felony, the other perp gets the equivalent of second degree murder charged as well.
