Lethal injection in prison, some states allow it but its morally wrong.

The morality of capital punishment is debatable. I think that a clearer example would be smoking cigarettes. Tobacco is legal, but it is wrong to smoke it.

One example could be tax avoidance, where individuals or companies exploit legal loopholes to reduce their tax obligations, even though it may be seen as morally wrong because it shifts the tax burden to others and reduces funds available for public services.

Is there anything morally wrong and why is it wrong?

yes, there is. Some would argue that the taking of life (killing someone) is morally wrong. A counter-argument might be if in self-defence, the taking of a life might be morally right, since it preserves another's life. However, this does not contradict the point that the taking of a life is still morally wrong. Indeed, the taking of a life can be both morally right and morally wrong.
