No. As a private citizen, you have no actual authority to detain anyone. If they get up and run away, you have no authority to pursue them. Detaining someone after they've put you in a situation which justified the use of lethal force can be a bit iffy. But pulling a firearm on someone for simple trespassing is going to put you in a bad way.
