The alleged strong arm robbery doesnt change anything. See the bottom line here is just because you have a badge on and a gun on your side, you dont get to shoot a suspect who has his hands up in a surrendering posture just because he may have bloodied your nose... Lets reverse this, a guys robs me and hits me in the face, he is escaping do I have the right to once he is leaving and no longer a threat, legally allowed to get my gun and shoot him dead after I say halt, he stops raises his hands in the street and is no threat? No I would be in jail right now charged with murder. Cops are not James Bond 007 with a license to kill anywhere, anyplace for no reason, if the testimony of bystanders holds true (outside of his buddy involved in the robbery) this COP is still guilty. See thats why we have judges and juries. Remember even if the officer knew there was a robbery nearby and the young man fit the description he is just a suspect and of course everyone knows we all look alike right? So as far as the Officer knows he may be the wrong man nothing hadbeen established yet. .
