Intent matters. The intent was to send a group of dangerous and heavily armed men in to detain an innocent person. That's aggravated kidnapping.
In common law, if somebody is killed in the commission of a violent felony even if the death was unplanned, it's "felony murder". In most of the USA, "felony murder" is first-degree murder.
