1. My understanding is that he lost sight of the robber....

...when the robber fled. The victim went in pursuit and thought the robber was in the pickup truck.


Obviously the lesson here is that you don't play cop! You call the cops!

The victim was right about being worried about getting robbed because a criminal did try to rob him! But the victim then went off and tried to play hero vigilante or whatever a killed a kid.

No, you don't do that. Once the threat is gone you lose your right to wave a gun in the air. Now a kid's dead, the family is devastated, and the victim-turned-killer is going to jail.
