“There’s a legal name for the concept but I can’t recall it. “

Felony murder.

When someone dies because you were committing a felony. It can even be someone who was committing it with you.

So A and B go to C’s store, A points a gun at C’s face and demand that C hand over the money in the till, and C shoots and kills A, B can be charged with murder of A.

Yes,I think I've read of incidents in which a cop kills a burglar during a robbery and the dead guy's partner is charged with some form of murder.
