Strictly speaking, it is a homicide -- the question is whether or not it was justifiable as self-defense. Just about any other state there would be little question at all, but of course ....
Any shooting, whether police related or not, and this is as far as I know, is investigated as a homicide until either the District Attorney/States Attorney, or a Grand Jury returns an indictment or says it is justifiable homicide. I believe most places are the same, and that is how it has been in Kalifornia for decades. If a police Officer shoots someone, three separate investigations are done including one by the state, one by the district attorney and one by the responsible agency, then it goes to the Grand Jury. If a citizen is involved as in this case, the District Attorney and the Police Agency with jurisdiction also investigate, and refer it to the grand jury.
In related news, Barack Obama is having the justice dept investigate this as a hate crime. It's obvious the resident is a racist, he didn't even try to have a mental health professional come over and counsel the intruder.

Why not? Do you think he learned his lesson with Zimmerman?
Well not unless the guy is Black. Not sure if he is. All in all though Barack needs to stay in his lane.
Or the Beer Summit?

Okay that is correct. However that is not the entire story is it?
Had Manzano not be squatting and just gotten his own place like an adult male, had he not drunken himself into a violent stupid stupor, had he not GONE BACK after been turned away at the door and get into the wrong apartment AGAIN through a window like a burglar, had NOT attacked an innocent person...
then the owner of a registered gun would have not shot him... n'est-ce pas?
Instead of shooting, he could have asked the man to stop! He could have inquired as to what series of events in the man's childhood led to the occurrence of that evening. He could have assured the "intruder" that alcoholism is a disease (you know, like acne or hemorrhoids) and therefore absolutely not in any way the fault of the alcoholic. He could have...
I can't do this anymore! It's making my head hurt!
Yes! I'm glad he shot the bastard!
