Ha ha very funny. Except this is grammatically correct and not ambiguous. It would work with your joke interpretation if it said "who shot dead, unarmed, black man"

This is absolutely ambiguous diction.

“…who shot and killed unarmed black man…” would have been substantially more specific and readable without potential confusion.

In school you learn to keep titles short. You added a lot of filler words that can ruin the headline on apps that cut them off, or printed media.

Shot dead is correct.

"fatally shot" is the same amount of words and less confusing
