Well, considering that they fled the man's home & he shot the woman in an alley (in the back), I am not inclined to give him any benefit of the doubt, especially after he had time to have this verbal exchange with the woman & decided against giving her any leeway whatsoever.
Once they left his abode, he had no legal protection against aggression. Surely, you & I agree upon this?
If you chase after a fleeing person and shoot them in the back, that's murder.
But imagine if you have just been raped in your home. You are hurt and violated and scared they will come back. He responded while in that state of mind.
The news articles are all hooking on her purported pregnancy (I just read that the autopsy shows she was NOT pregnant) but that is totally immaterial to me.
If a man jumped me in my living room and then claimed he was the sole support of his children I would just be hearing him explain why he'd be back to do it again.
I'm not even basing my approbation upon her claim that she was pregnant. (However, if someone had said that to me, whether it was true or untrue, it would have given me pause.)
It's the fact that he left his property to pursue these folks. It's the fact that he had this exchange with the woman & had time to contemplate what he was doing. That is absolutely first-degree murder territory.

They attacked him. The gun is the only reason they stopped.
