Original Note:
Kyle Rittenhouse did kill two men in Kenosha, Wisconsin on August 25, 2020. He was charged with two counts of homicide (among others). At trial, he asserted the killings were self-defense, and was acquitted by a jury. Therefore, legally, Rittenhouse's actions were not murder. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kenosha_unrest_shooting
