    Yes and no, technically without “dead” and leaving the rest of the sentence unchanged, it could imply the cop has a separate murder charge. A better headline is “London Cop Charged With Murder After Shooting And Killing Unarmed Black Man.”

      That doesn’t rule out the logical possibility of the murder charge being for a different incident. But you could eliminate it with “London Cop Charged With Murder For Shooting Unarmed Black Man”.
