I'm not sure that you can have someone that's not a dependent (adult child) committed.
Parents would have a hard time doing that.
Was he mentally ill or an addict (seems a fine line, but I think it's valid)?
So which addicts get committed? Presumably, this one hadn't previously committed murder. When do you know that an addict is going to go from "harmless addict" to "violent/murderous addict"?
