It does seem like, given the location and witnesses, that we should know a hell of a lot more about this case than we do.
Really, there are two viable possibilities here. First is that the guy in the car went to yell at the 'vigilante', and the latter reacted by throwing the first punch. In that case, possibly self-defence.
Or the guy in the car went with the intent of turning it into a physical altercation, in which chase, manslaughter.
Seems the RCMP should have known almost as soon as they arrived on scene which way this was leaning, so it is all rather strange to not know anything more than "being investigated as a homicide" almost a month later.
