all muders are homicides. not all homicides are murders.
Law enforcement reported 770 justifiable homicides in 2015. Of those, law enforcement officers justifiably killed 442 felons, and private citizens justifiably killed 328 people during the commission of crimes. (See Expanded Homicide Data Tables 14 and 15.)
so of the roughly 17k homicides at little over 1,000 were adjudicated as being justifiable.
the offender race even in those justifiable homicides are included in those homicide UCR stats.
