While I agree with you on most of your point, the fact that they are not old enough to legally have weapons does not mean they couldn’t have weapons. Just google teen gun violence.

But again, and again, and again:

Why initiate the confrontation? Top off your tank and go on your merry way. That man put in motion a series of events that resulted in the death of another human being by his own hand.

Bottom line: he killed a young man who didn’t deserve to die. If that had been four middle-class white kids in the car playing Abba at eleven, and he had been a black man who “feared for his life” and fired into the car because he “thought he saw a weapon”, does anyone here think he wouldn’t have been convicted of murder?
