Just to play Devils Advocate here, Prove the intent, with the conflicting eye witness statements, prove that there wasn't a fight that left the shooter feeling that he needed to defend himself.
You could certainly argue manslaughter (lawyers could help me out here), but I have my doubts that they could convict on first or even second degree murder.

I don't think there's anyway that you'd get a conviction on a murder charge based on the facts available. It's definitely more of a manslaughter situation.
