Not enough information for me to give an opinion.

Seems to me the guy driving in reverse trying to get away would be questionable use of deadly force.

Not if you are between him and the blocked-in vehicle. Or that he was cutting the tires to try and hit you. There are lots of variables that aren't listed.

I guess the way I read it was the bounty hunter had used his vehicle to block the guy in, It seems to me the BH was at his vehicle when the guy pulled up. The BH pulled his firearm and the guy hit reverse to get away thats when he was shot.  That was what I got from the story. It does say the guy may have tried to hit the BH.  I guess if he pulled up to the blocked gate or was it another exit gate that was just locked. 

The bounty hunter had found the man driving in the apartment complex’s parking lot and he blocked in the vehicle as it pulled up to a locked exit gate, the sheriff said.

The bounty hunter got out of his car, pointed a gun at the wanted man, and fired into the vehicle as it drove in reverse, according to Gonzalez.
