No. Joseph Smith never killed anyone, and there is no record or even rumors of him ordering people to be killed.
There are rumors of Brigham Young ordering some apostates (people who left the church) to be killed in an act called 'Blood Atonement'. This stems from the belief that it is better for them to die now than to continue living life in sin. While it is rumored that he ordered this to happen, there are no hard facts. It is known that Brigham Young himself never killed anyone.
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) today does not believe that nonbelievers or apostates should be killed or punished in any way, but leaves punishment up to God. They adhere to a comment made by Joseph Smith, which says, "We claim the privelege of worshipping Almighty God according to the dictates of our own concience, and allow all men that same privelege, let them worship how, where, or what they may."
