He is by definition a civilian that was murdered. Legal definitions do not care about our political opinions. It appears to be very likely he was a civilian who deserved to be murdered but that does not change the definition
civilian /sĭ-vĭl′yən/
noun
This is not the legal definition of civilian.
International law is a myth that imperialsists use to murder indigenous resistance fighters, it's not a real legal regime that actually applies universally.
There is no legal definition because there is no law, I think that's pretty clear at this point.
