No, murder means you killed someone. Attempted murder means you tried to kill someone. You could still go to jail, though.
There is no statute of limitations on filing a charge such as that. HOWEVER - the sooner, the better, time is of the essence! The next time, the attempt may not fail. ALSO - the longer you wait to report such a serious crime the more doubt law enforcement may have about the truthfulness of your story. Sorry... but THAT's a realistic fact!
