Yes that is also why you'll see something like first degree murder but also agg assault pic pow vufa reap etc so they get convicted of the lesser crimes still. I don't think I've ever seen a murder charge without all the other little charges that compared to murder are nothing but still add up. PIC is procession of instrument of a crime. POW is prohibited offensive weapon vufa is violation of uniform fire arms act. REAP reckless endangermwnt of another person. The laws in your area may be called something else but that is basically the charges an actual shooting murder like shooting on the streets might look like

Edit also oddly they might throw manslaughter on the charges too which makes no sense because murder and manslaughter can't possibly be committed at the same time because of the way the laws are written the contradict each other. I have seen cases before where both are listed still don't get it but I'm not a lawyer
