This is how I see it:
Dad and son had their 9mm gun stolen out of their vehicle a month or 2 before this incident.
A contractor has a video showing an individual going on the construction site 4 times I believe at night time.
This information is shown to the McMichaels family.
The McMichaels see the individual going down the street. They jump in their car with their guns to go talk to him. They said they grab their guns because they don't know if the guy has a gun. This could be linked to them thinking this guy stole their gun and/or they are prejudice towards black people.
When the McMichaels get in front of Ahmaud, Travis is standing outside his truck with his shotgun and his dad is in the back of the truck. They start yelling something at Ahmaud for a few seconds. Ahmaud runs around the truck. Travis is on the leftfront side of the truck, and Ahmaud while running around the truck runs in front of the truck and grabs the shotgun. At this point Travis believes he is being attacked and fires a shot. Struggle continues, punches thrown. Two more shots go off.
Ahmaud's view:
He is jogging down the street. Two random guys start yelling at him to stop, stop , stop. He is weirded out by them, so he turns around and runs the other way. They drive past him and stop and jump out. At this point he is scared and on high alert; the guy standing next to the car has a shotgun and is yelling something at him. He runs around the truck. He sees the guy who keeps yelling at him, and is only about 5 ft away at this point, so he grabs the shotgun out of fear for his life; he feels he needs to fight for his life, especially since the first shot went off immediately after his hands touch the shotgun.
Few things:
Did Ahmaud commit breakins that morning? If you know, please post a link to a source.
The father and son had no right to go after someone with their guns to confront Ahmaud over a minor offense, especially since people's lives are not at risk at that moment.
The son that fired the 3 shots, will probably get voluntary manslaughter.

The dad in the back of the truck, might get some form of assault or something along the lines of intimidating a victim with a firearm.
I just found out yesterday they were both arrested for murder. In Georgia it is just murder; no 1st or 2nd degree.

I believe the charges will be changed to what I stated above.
