Re: GA: "Jogger" chased and murdered

Let’s go ahead and acknowledge the gaping difference between a citizen’s arrest and using lethal force to perform a citizen’s arrest. There does not appear to be any defense to prosecution for lethal force during a citizen’s arrest. I’m not making any hasty judgements until all of the details come out, however it appears to be a pretty bad shoot. The facts we have right now

-Man was killed while jogging (to/from who knows) by two men with guns.
-The men claim that they were ”performing a citizen’s arrest” when the altercation occurred due to recent crime in the area, with suspicion that the perpetrator of the respective crimes might be the casualty of the shooting.
-There is a low quality video that appears to show a man jogging in the road towards a truck with one individual in the bed and the other on the ground with a long barreled firearm. During the initial struggle the camera moves in and out of the scene of the incident making it difficult to really tell exactly what is going on.
-It appears that the “victim” is attempting to flee the two men towards the end of an altercation and collapses in front of the truck.

I just don’t think we have even close to enough information yet to know what really happened. Does anyone know why the individual with the camera decided to record at that moment? That person must have been alerted by something to turn on their phone camera at that moment, because that does not appear to be a dash cam, unless it was removed to get a better picture.
