I don't know where you got the idea the word "unlawful" should be in that definition. Or murder. Murder is what the Capitol police, with Pelosi's support, did to Ashli Babbitt.

the deliberate and unlawful killing of one person by another; murder. I still think that you and Brumar and others are on the weak side of that linguistic argument. The term, homicide, as manner of death, is a term of art. What you are using is common parlance, the context of which is crime. The crime also has terms of art such as murder or manslaughter. I believe that as a term of art for manner of death on an autopsy report simply means a killing, dying at the hands of someone else. I infer that from the other options for manner of death: suicide, accident, and natural. Clearly Floyd's death was none of those, hence it would be characterized as a homicide. A killing is not necessarily a crime. If I were to shoot someone who broke into my house and attacked me with a hatchet, his manner death would be reported as homicide but I would not be charged with anything having killed in self defense, which is not a crime.
