Under most circumstances, murder would be tried in a state court; if the defendant is in the military, it may be tried in a military court (federal). If the crime was committed as part of another federal crime or on federal property, the case would appear before a federal court.

Under certain circumstances, the defendant (and only the defendant) has the option to exercise federal courts' removal jurisdiction to move his or her case from state to federal court (as outlined in 28 U.S.C. § 1441).
