No. The death of the boy is an accident. Okonkwo's gun explodes, sending metal pieces flying through the crowd. One of the pieces hits the boy, piercing his heart. The victim happens to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. Okonkwo's exile from the clan for seven years is too harsh for an accidental death.
