But it's not a "lynching" with all that word implies.
A lynching is defined as the killing of someone by a mob without a fair and legal trial. I mean I guess you could argue that 2 guys with a gun isn't a mob, but they certainly appear to have taken justice into their own hands and killed a guy without a fair and legal trial.

I think lynching is a very loaded term in racial politics these days, and it's due to the publics general approbation (whether real or not) of the awful lynchings that occurred in the 1900s.
It wasn't that Emmitt Till was killed for being black (which is awful), but that the public approved of it and the killers went unpunished that made it such a stain on history.
That's the difference between this and "lynchings" IMO. I think people like Shaun King know that but use the term anyway, for nefarious reasons.
