I read the law in your post. I don’t know that it’s going to totally shield someone whose car was stolen, got in a different vehicle, and shot at the stolen vehicle on the road.
I’m glad the thief is dead.

Then your comprehension needs work.
It is not up for debate. It's very clearly written into the law and I even highlighted the relevant elements.
It's not written as "may", "sometimes", etc.

A person is justified in using deadly force against another to protect land or tangible, movable property
"Is justified." It's stipulated as justified unless the elements are disproven.

100% justified.

This is one of those situations where a little bit of embellishment goes a long way:
"After the thief stole my car he started driving dangerously towards other cars and buildings. I was afraid he would hurt someone in addition to getting away, so I took steps to deal with the threat."
