In a civil case, can a law enforcement officer refer to the scene of the shooting as a crime scene?

At trial, the prosecutor asked a sheriff's investigator whether a particular exhibit was at the crime scene when the witness saw it, defense counsel objected on the ground that the continuing reference to the "crime scene" was argumentative. The court overruled the objection. On appeal, defendant argues it was prejudicial error to permit the law enforcement officer to refer to the scene of the shooting as a "crime scene" on the ground it was improper opinion evidence. This objection was not preserved for review. (People v. Rodriguez, supra, 58 Cal.4th at p. 630.)
