It would help if you kept to the actual facts of the case.
The man was in the store, not in the car, so he couldn’t “get out to defend her”.
The shooter was backed away from the car when the man came out of the store.
The woman got out of the car and confronted the shooter when she saw her man coming up from behind, so the victim knew that his woman was actually bringing the fight to the man, not the other way around.
By appearance, it seems more likely that the woman got out to distract him while the man attacked him from behind.
The altercation started when the woman parked in a space reserved for handicapped people like the man’s mother. The man was reacting to that provocation, by defending his mother’s right to that parking space.
The FIGHT started when the woman got out of the car and approached the guy to distract him while her man came up from behind to blindside him.
This reminds me of the case of the Oklahoma City pharmacist that shot to death one of the three black kids that tried to rob him. There was a lot of back and forth on FR on whether or not he should be given a medal or if he should be in jail. From the facts of the case, I predicted he would lose every penny he ever owned and spend the rest of his life in jail.
One person on FR in particular blasted me for that. Just like you are doing. Anyway, I was right. I PMed that guy after the pharmacist was convicted and sent to jail. He never answered. I believe that the shooter in this case will also end up in jail. I will be right here, too.
