Must be an unrelated murder?
 
Live by the gun, die by the gun. Sad a life was lost; just glad it wasn't someone innocent.

In some places. You try to commit a crime with the intent to kill. And someone ends up dead. You are held responsible.
 
Even if it's a guy you're with?? Doesn't sound like anyone but the bad guy died...
