Chances are he didn't even announce himself. I doubt the kid even saw him.
In other words, baseless speculation from your end.

as baseless as most things in this thread. I'm not defending the kid at all. But my guess is Landry regrets shooting him at this point. That's all im saying

I agree with that, but it sounded like you were just playing devil's advocate for the sake of it.

Why would he regret shooting someone he thought was about to shoot him?

Well, if the Grand Jury was representative of the population of Orleans Parish, I'd guess 60.2% black, 30.5% white, 5.2% Hispanic or Latino, and 2.9% Asian.

just guessing what i think happened, considering he had the opportunity to shoot him in the head.
the kid had no gun. He he announced himself he probably flees.
Had he had a gun, i can see the kid staying put and reaching for it, and Landry having the opp to shot him in the head.
Just my guess that he popped him with no warning.

and to say he saw him reach for something is weak, when no gun was found. People aren't stupid.
That's called hindsight. The law does not require omniscience.

As far as the immunity...
Act 786 of 2006 grants both civil and criminal immunity to anyone using force justifiable under RS 14:19 and 14:20.
I'll find where it relates in the Code when I feel like it.
Found it...
LA RS 9:2800.19
It even provides for attorney fees.

How do know the kid didn't act like he was going for a gun to try and scare Landry? Just like someone trying to rob a bank or a convenience store and say they have a gun under their sweatshirt but never show it bc they really don't.

what good does that do when someone has a gun pointed at you?

I don't believe LA law allows you can shoot someone in defense of property. There was no threat to his or his family's personal safety until he went outside. Your friend fricked up and may end up in jail because he made a rash decision. How's that gonna work out for his wife and kids?

The castle doctrine really doesn't apply here. It only applies when one is within your home or attemptung to make unlawful entry into your home. It applies to a vehicle only when you're inside it.
Quit talking out of your arse.

CASTLE LAWS
...
The law also stated homicide was justifiable in similar cases: when committed in self-defense by one who "reasonably believes" he is in danger of great bodily harm or death; to prevent a forcible felony; and to prevent trespass on private property.

They'd have an easy time prosecuting it, if the DA's Office didn't punt it to the Grand Jury to try to avoid any political fallout.
I know you've done a lot of legal research, but I think your interpretation of No Retreat is flawed. Landry didn't stand his ground. He didn't not retreat. He advanced on this guy and
escalated the situation.
If that were the case (that they'd have an easy time prosecuting it), the grand jury would have indicted him. The standard for grand jury indictment is much lower than an actual jury conviction. The defense can't even put up a defense during a grand jury trial.
