Re: Murder? Legal use of deadly force?
Someone privately pointed out that it happened at 2 PM. I don't know why I thought it was night.
The article jumps from guy breaking into the car to the police arriving to find two men holding him (not hitting him) and him being unconscious. While they very well might have used excessive force well past the time any threat he posed passed, I don't recall reading any proof of that in the article.

Re: Murder? Legal use of deadly force?
He was breaking into their personal property at night. Aren't they justified to use deadly force?
It says that two of them were pinning him to the ground when police arrived. It doesn't say they were still beating the unconscious man.
How is this different from shooting him until he stops?
