I am familiar with evidence that she was certainly surrounded by drug dealing, and perhaps even that she knew about it or participated willingly. But this isn’t germane to the question of whether, if a citizen accidentally killed a non-threat while attempting to engage in self-defense against an actual threat, would that citizen be charged?

Do you mean legitimately, randomly, or punitively?
The question is nebulous. There are too many variables. But generally, if a private citizen was being shot at, he would obviously fear for his life and be justified in shooting back. In a case like that, you can’t call up and ask if there is anyone standing next to the shooter.
I'm trying to understand your question.
Are you asking whether the boyfriend should be charged in Taylor's death, because his actions led to the events that resulted in her death?
