Aaron Burr, in his famous duel with Alexander Hamilton in 1804.
Before he was President, Andrew Jackson killed a man in a pistol duel in 1806. Jackson let the other man shoot first, but the shot missed his heart and he was able to get off his killing shot. Jackson carried the bullet in his chest for all his life, since it was too close to the heart for a surgeon to remove it.
Aaron Burr, who had been vice-president during Jefferson's first term, killed Alexander Hamilton in a duel and was indicted for murder. Burr was not exactly a fugitive, I think. The charges were eventually dropped, but Burr got into other trouble being charged with treason but was again acquitted.
Sorry! There is no person that was the son of a president and the father of a president.

I do not think any US president was accused of murder by legal authorities. Political enemies have labeled various president as killers or murders. Vice President Aaron Burr was accused of murder after he killed Hamilton. He fled from prosecution and the charges were eventually dropped.

Andrew Jackson in a duel killed a man who cast an unjustified slur on his wife Rachel.More nearly than any of his predecessors, Andrew Jackson was elected by popular vote; as President he sought to act as the direct representative of the common man.Born in a backwoods settlement in the Carolinas in 1767, he received sporadic education. But in his late teens he read law for about two years, and he became an outstanding young lawyer in Tennessee. Fiercely jealous of his honor, he engaged in brawls, and in a duel killed a man who cast an unjustified slur on his wife Rachel.
