That's not unheard of in other cases, and the DOJ doesn't charge the killer with federal murder charges. Rittenhouse, for example. The story here is that the DOJ did something unusual under pressure from corporate interests.

rittenhouse should’ve been federal… but he (supposedly) crossed state lines to enforce the law and ended up murdering someone….
i think he hoped to murder someone but still, it’s different and pretty clearly a federal case.
….
they definitely selectively enforce it, like when some anarchists drove from portland to Seattle in order to spray paint a courthouse during a protest: that became federal charges because they anarchists, mostly….
i was honestly surprised when states were charging luigi instead of the feds at first
