Are there any federal laws prohibiting murder?

Only if you kill a federal employee or a national politician. (US
congress or VP/President)

By and large, murder is a state crime.

Good to know. If you commit murder you should quickly get to a non
extradition state. :-)

There is a federal fugitive felon law. As soon as you cross a state
line, it is a federal offense and they can send the federal marshals
after you.
