Try looking at the fifth amendment of the Constitution of the United States.
"No person shall be held to answer for a capital or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury..."

Which does NOT say that ALL homicides must be presented to the grand jury.
It just says if the DA wants an indictment for a felony he has to go to a grand jury to get it. If a DA chooses not to pursue a felony in a homicide case, then he doesn’t have to go to the grand jury.
