Murder is the unlawful killing of one human being by another. Uniform Crime Reports (UCR) statistics on murder describe the early incidence of all willful and unlawful homicides within the United States; included in the count are cases of non-negligent manslaughter that have been reported to or discovered by the police.
First-degree murder is a criminal homicide that is planned. Second-degree murder is an intentional and unlawful killing but one that is generally unplanned and that happens β€œin the heat of passion.”
