While homicide is a serious felony in whatever form it's committed, the law recognizes that there are important distinctions between homicides based on intent and circumstances.

We'll look at voluntary manslaughter, which is a voluntary homicide reduced from murder due to mitigating factors, and involuntary manslaughter, which is unintentional homicide for which there is some fault.

Video has no sound. Surveillance video
Three suspects enter what looks like a back door. Each enter with gun drawn. The room is cluttered with boxes and rolls of tissue. One suspect appearing to be a black male wearing a baseball cap and hoodie goes straight ahead. The next suspect appearing to be a black female with a mask goes to the left. The last suspect, black male wearing a hoodie, follows to the left. The last suspect returns to close the door. The video next shows the female and black male searching the storage area then the kitchen area. The black male with the hoodie goes to another room. The black female and black male with baseball cap and hoodie return to the storage area and then there are light flashes. The suspects duck indicating the light flashes are in fact gun shots. The homeowner/resident runs out firing multiple rounds. The black male with cap and hoodie and the black female ran out the door while the black male with hoodie only runs back in the storage area knocking over boxes and rolls of tissue. The homeowner goes to the door and shoots multiple rounds, possibly founds out the door before closing the door. Another resident appears, male, and gets the gun from the female who is now on her cell phone most likely calling the police. He goes in another room. When he appears again he does not have the gun.
