Have you heard any songs about real life killers, or serial killers? I hear there's many such songs in heavy metal. In the U K, people may hear 'Gary Gilmore's Eyes' by the Adverts when getting in to punk music.
'Gary Gilmore's Eyes' - The Adverts
Murder ballads are a staple of folk music and often play out as cautionary tales. Like this here song about Ed Gein ...
'Old Mean Ed Gein' - The Fibonaccis
Or these here songs about Ed Gein and Jeffrey Dahmer ....
Key Lime Surprise
Lilly Jane listens to 'Dead Skin Mask' by Slayer
Lilly Jane listens to 'Raining Blood' by Slayer
Lilly Jane listens to '213' by Slayer

This is the only song, that I can think of...
The Chad Mitchell Trio - Lizzie Borden
No one dies in this one, but it should be considered as an honorable mention:
"Weird Al" Yankovic - Headline News

I don't know, to be honest.
'The song was based on a childhood vacation spot of John Fogerty's. In an interview Fogerty gave to Rolling Stone in 2012, Fogerty stated:
What really happened is that I used a setting like New Orleans, but I would actually be talking about thing from my own life. Certainly a song like "Green River" – which you may think would fit seamlessly into the Bayou vibe, but it's actually about the Green River, as I named it – it was actually called Putah Creek by Winters, California. It wasn't called Green River, but in my mind I always sort of called it Green River. All those little anecdotes are part of my childhood, those are things that happened to me actually, I just wrote about them and the audience shifted at the time and place.
Fogerty added that the "actual specific reference, 'Green River,' I got from a soda pop-syrup label... My flavor was called Green River."
Although the song seems to be mostly about idyllic memories, in the last verse a character named Old Cody Junior warns the singer that he's going to find the world smoldering but can always come back to Green River. The name Old Cody Junior was a reference to the fact that Buffalo Bill Cody had owned the cabin by the creek that inspired the song.'

Seems like Alice Cooper would have done one, but I can't think of it.
