another 'Stand your ground" murder in Florida

This just makes me sick, sick enough that I have to speak to it.
 A 17 year old African-American boy, Jordan Russell Davis, was murdered in cold blood by a white man, Michael David Dunn, in Florida.  The murderer is claiming self defense.
 According to Democracy Now!, Davis was sitting in a car with friends listening to loud music.  Dunn pulled up in a car next to them and asked them to turn their music down.  An argument ensued and then Dunn opened fire, shooting 8 or 9 times into the car, killing Davis.  Dunn says he thought he saw a gun in the boys' car.  No gun was found. 
 If this is not considered murder the what is?  What is he doing driving around with a loaded  gun and starting arguments with kids over their music volume if not looking for someone to shoot.  Insanity.
