shot multiple times is usually anger, few bums have weapons much less firearms even more so excess rounds to waste, likely the homeowner nearest the location of the body’s resting place and not the multi-unit domiciles rather the single family and most likely the privileged prop 13 one closest to the body, and it may not Be murder or even negligent but a non-criminal homocide for the first shot, the rest of the discharged rounds were in anger, any defense attorney would postulate the first round killed the Man, the others were an ill disciplined exercise of anger.
