according to wikipedia it usually depends on the circumstances.
one could get a lighter sentence (21years to life) if it was "a gamer moment" (sometimes killing someone in blind rage can be classified as manslaughter) - but now certain acts fall under the term "femicide" (jealousy, control reasons, honor killing etc.)
