Murk out is AAVE and urban slang meaning to kill or murder someone. The base verb 'murk' (to kill) has been in use in hip-hop and street slang since at least the 1990s, and 'murk out' adds emphasis via the 'out' particle, which intensifies finality (as in 'wipe out' or 'knock out'). Typically used in rap lyrics, online slang, and street-context dialogue. It is distinctly violent in meaning and should be understood as serious rather than hyperbolic in most usages.
