It may not actually be breaking a law, but it is committing a crime. Murder is considered a crime whether it is actually defined in the laws of the appropriate state or country or not. If it is not specifically listed in the criminal code, murder is a common law concept. It often appears in the criminal law due to specific levels of the crime being defined for terms of punishment.

When you kill someone, you are typically breaking the law against murder or manslaughter, depending on the circumstances surrounding the death. These laws vary by jurisdiction but generally prohibit the intentional and unlawful taking of another person's life.

Killing the death of another person falls under homicide laws. Each state defines the different types of homicide differently, but they are usually broken out into murder and manslaughter.
