Many states have a "felony murder" statute. Put simply, if anybody is killed during the commission of a felony (in this case, armed robbery), no matter who dies (victim, perp, bystander, whoever), all the crooks and accomplices get charged with felony murder. And generally get life in prison.
It can get a little bizarre, in practice- like the guy who robbed a liquor store, and killed the cashier- the guy outside in the car was charged with felony murder as an accomplice. He claimed that he had no idea his buddy was going to kill anyone, or even rob the store- he thought he was just going to buy them a bottle.
I can't remember exactly how it came out- but I think the court said the accomplice had to have knowledge that a crime was going to be committed, even if the plan was to not hurt anyone.
