It's important to approach this topic critically, considering the broader socio-economic and contextual factors that contribute to crime.

If someone kills someone, when it could have been prevented, sounds like manslaughter or a lesser killing charge. If say you were driving whilst drunk, and you shouldn't have been driving (which no one should when drunk) it can be considered a lesser degree of killing; sometimes referred to as culpible driving in some parts of the world. There are different degrees associated with causing a death. Always seek legal advice. Many states have free legal aid services which you can contact and talk about such situations. Court houses can have free legal advice as well. In Australia you can go to a court and speak to a chamber magistrate or second level judge free. There will be similar people in the States Im sure.
Can private persons interview witnesses or victims of a crime?

Added: If the case is still open and under active investigation the private party would have to secure permission of the investigating authorities to speak with the victim or witness in depth, or run the risk of criminal prosecution themselves for "Interfering With An Investigation, or even "Obstruction of Justice." The "press" is, of course, exempted from this insofar as their casual and immediate questions are concerned, but would be prohibited from conducting lengthy in-depth interviews.
What is praiseworthy homicide?
In the many decades that I've spent on this earth, I have never heard of one. I believe that the reason for that is that there is no such thing. Even people who are forced to kill someone to defend their own or other lives, don't feel good about it and if someone gives them praise for doing so, it doesn't mean that it was a praiseworthy act. I am willing to say that there are some people that exhibit a warped sense of morality that might describe a homicide as praiseworthy, that doesn't make it so.
