Homicide cases involve the unlawful killing of one person by another. These cases can vary widely in circumstances, motives, and methods. Law enforcement agencies investigate these incidents to gather evidence, identify suspects, and determine the cause of death. The legal system categorizes homicides into different types, such as murder, manslaughter, and justifiable homicide. Each type has distinct legal definitions and consequences. Prosecutors must prove intent and circumstances surrounding the act to secure a conviction in court.
