The dead guy is not only not a "victim," but to me is not even a "suspect." He is a robber, period. He is seen on tape sticking up a store, presumably by threatening the clerk with a weapon (although it is not explicitly stated), cleaning out a cash register, and is dead at the scene. There are no allegations anymore - but a whole pile of verifiable facts.
I live in the small Florida town where there was a jail escape a few weeks ago that made the national news. It really aggravated me that the news referred to the two men - one a convicted murderer, the other waiting to stand trial for murder - as "alleged escapees." They were in jail, and now they aren't anymore, so there is no allegation involved - they escaped.
Rant over.
