Example #1: You walk into a store and decide on the spur of the moment to rob it, and just happen to shoot the clerk dead while committing it - you have committed Homicide.

Example #2: You plan to eliminate a business rival and you plan in advance to kill him - you commit the crime and kill the rival - you have committed premeditated Homicide.

Pre-meditated means that it didn't just happen on the spur of the moment -- you thought about it and planned the act in advance. The usual criminal charge for premediated homicide is 'Murder in 1st Degree,' and the premeditation MUST be proven.
