1-Tukson leaped at Emerald.

2-Emerald moved aside.

3-Merc kicked him in the face + a gunshot was heard at that very moment.

4-Emerald and Merc walked out of the store.

The idea of "they actually had a fight" depends on 1 premise: That they had a fight, after the kick. But that is an hypothesis, an idea without anything to prove it.

The idea of "Merc killed him with a kick-gunshot to the face", depends only on the things we saw and thus know they did happen. There are no maybes or probablys.

So the idea with the less hypothetical premises, based on the evidence, is the latter.
