Certainly does look a lot like first degree murder at first sight but from what I've seen even the whole story about the circumstance of his apprehension seems rather odd.

Also (and yes I know it's a long shot but still), the jury could simply refuse to indict him because they hate the victim far more than the crime.

This'll be on the prosecution to try to impanel people that will follow the law instead of their hearts. The target aside, I think most people will rule harshly on murder, especially someone shot in the back.

It's certainly rare, but it wouldn't be the first time.
