If he truly was dead, you would see the body after the shot. The director would want you to know he is dead. They wouldn't purposely leave the scene if it wasnt for the fact they want you to know hes alive. It comes down to: did she shoot him, did she fire a warning shot, or did she have to shoot someone else.
As for Cox, sounds like he was snapped & Kingpin got out of jail. Pretty easy explanation there. As for going forward, it sounds like they want him for She Hulk (lawyer tie in), Armor Wars (defending Happy in court), and for a some other street level stuff. Probably a new show because it also sounds like Disney had him locked in awhile ago.(
