When he called the police he intended for this or something similar to happen to the other gamer. Under Texas law, the intent would transfer to this victim. This would be in addition to any charges of false report to a peace officer and any federal charges for interstate wire fraud. If all California law would go for is manslaughter, the federal charge might be the most punishment. Go for both in successive sentences then.
Methinks the only issue CA would have is the false report. If and when he is extradited to KS then it's a new ball game.
