I didn't say anything about court. When you say "ruled a homicide", that does not include people on the Internet thinking it was a homicide. It is a judicial term of art that applies only after a formal police investigation has come to such a conclusion. If you don't mean "ruled a homicide" then please don't say it.
> The Pretti shooting has been ruled a homicide, by the way.
I don't see anything in e.g. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2026/01/27/alex-p... to substantiate that; and as far as I can tell there have not yet been any other investigations, and thus no other opportunity for such a ruling.
A homicide isn't a "ruling" in court, it just describes the manner of death. We all saw several ICE agents shoot this man. It's a homicide.

"ruled a homicide" is a "ruling"
No it hasn’t. Cite a link if you have one.
