In that case, it's homicide, pretty clearly so.

It was always homicide. Homicide is not always murder. Homicide could be the
execution of a prisoner under a lawful warrant or the killing of an enemy
soldier in time of war. Homicide could be killing in self defense or via
drunk driving. Homicide could result from a mistake on the operating table.

"Homicide" is the killing of one human being by the act or omission of
another and is NOT, per se, a violation of law.
