Indeed you are right. The key was that he shot him *fatally* and that usually means the end to the end of his life in crime.

But if you will also note that the driver was a jitney- strictly unlicensed- and the police just told the old timer to get the hell out of there, no citations. Not everywhere is as strict with their laws about driving as some of the locations people discuss here on UP

You have to be pretty desperate to commit an armed robbery in Pennsylvania- half the population is walking around armed legally. Good chance it was drugs, or alternatively, just someone really stupid. If I were advising the robber, I would have told him to take the ride to a 7/11 that the cops don't hang out at. Convenience store people aren't allowed to shoot- company policy

If he was unlicensed he possibly leaves himself open to prosecution and also to be charged in civil court. I don't know PA laws well enough however in most states if you are performing an illegal act you may not have the right to self defense.

Jitneying is really just an administrative or regulatory offense in Pennsylvania, not a criminal offense.
