I think the effect of murdering someone are more robustly bad than reducing poverty (which are also probably positive, but less obviously so).
Why? What are the very long term effects of a murder?
Murdering also decreases world population and consumption, which decreases problems like global warming, overfishing, etc. and probably reduces some existential risks.
Increasing violence and expectation of violence seems to lead to worse values and a more cruel/selfish world.
Of course it’s also among the worst thing you can do under all non-consequentialist ethics.
