Prosecutors have charged a Metropolitan Police officer with murder after he shot rapper Chris Kaba in London last year.

Well, it’s an expression that only comes up in the third person, not the first person. You’d see “Tim shot dead Eric”. I think if they’d say anything like that in the UK, it would just be “I shot him”.
I still only have ever heard “Tim shot Eric dead.” I’ve never seen it any other way except in this headlines.
Yeah it’s the wrong way round but I think most people can also infer some context from the part where it mentions the murder charge.
