Yes, he was shot straight on because he tried to attack a deadly threat in self-defense.
You are absolutely correct that AA could have came around the truck, saw TM right there probably aiming the shotgun at him and being so close AA decided to attack prior to being shot. He could have tried to knock the gun barrel out of TM’s hands or something like that. The trouble for Turtlesoup and KingGUERRILLA is even if AA squared up and initiated an attack TM and his cohorts in crime are responsible for whatever led to AA’s death.
The defense of TM cannot fly because TM initiated an attack first by moving toward the spot where he saw AA was heading.
However I believe it’s more plausible that TM really fucked up when he misjudged and did not account for the possibility that AA could not see TM coming at him until it was too late to stop - AA thought he could get back on the road and TM panicked as he told police that AA “Squared up” as if to attack so he shot him.
Either way TM is not and should not be set free on the basis that a white moron with a gun was just standing in the middle of the road just wanting to talk and the poor dumb white moron with a gun had to defend himself when he was attacked for no reason.
