I'm not a lawyer, but I believe that the terms ' negligent homicide' and ' depraved indifference (heart)' apply here.

Depraved-heart murder is recognized in the Model Penal Code § 210.2(1)(b).[3] The Model Penal Code considers unintentional killing to constitute murder when the conduct of the defendant manifests "extreme indifference to the value of human life".
