From what i understood is that ghost can only choose dead that have meet certain conditions, like how we weren’t our ghosts first choice (as said in D1 during the taken king mission to reclaim stealth drives when scanning a certain pod). It could be that the ghost that chose shin aftee its previous owner was killed was looking for the exact same type as person as shin was.
And when shin was picked wasnt he still alive.
