I believe you're right about needing premeditation. But if I were a judge (horror), I would say: They did plan to break and enter and trespass, and did so. They did plan to bring a gun, and they murdered a man with said gun (as charged, innocent till actually guilty) that would be enough premeditation for me to seek the death penalty.
