Drejka has been charged with manslaughter.
Parking lot shooter charged in Florida 'stand your ground' case

Prosecutors charged Michael Drejka, the man accused of killing Markeis McGlockton in a shooting that has reignited a debate around Florida’s stand your ground law, with manslaughter Monday.

According to the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office, Drejka was taken into custody Monday morning. He will be booked into the Pinellas County Jail this afternoon.

Drejka, 47, has avoided arrest since he shot 28-year-old McGlockton on July 19 because of the controversial self-defense law that eliminated one’s duty to retreat before resorting to force.

Re: FL:Stand your ground law under fire for parking space dispute murder

I'm going to throw in a prediction...

Girlfriend texted the boyfriend in the store something along the lines of "Come kick this guys you-know-what".

The grand jury will no-bill the guy on criminal charges. It will go to civil trial as immunity doesn't apply until after it can be ruled on (if I understand civil immunity laws correctly). This one is going to go to trial in civil court where the defense will request the judge subpoena the text messages of that morning. She might be charged with something in the end.

Bad decisions all around.

However witnesses has already stated this was not "a discussion," the shooter was YELLING at her in front of two small children and has a history of doing so using very racial and inflammatory language.
...
In an event like this, with the inflamed racial relations, what witnesses say was spoken between them really doesn't matter.
Or have we forgotten "Hands Up Don't Shoot", the MAGA hat 'witnesses' among other witness statements that turned out to be completely false.

Either way, both sides made mistakes but the deceased initiated violence. Before that it was merely verbal.
