Yes, the duel, held in Weehawken, New Jersey, was legal, but killing the opponent was not. New York had recently outlawed duels, which was the reason Hamilton and Burr rowed across the Hudson River to settle their score.
Hamilton died of a wound to the abdomen on July 12, 1804. Vice-President Burr was charged with murder in both New York and New Jersey, but the case never went to trial.
