Depends on your philosophy I suppose. For example, Christianity teaches that failing to do good is itself a sin. So that suggests that an omission could be considered to make someone guilty.

I suspect that all modern legal systems have the concept of negligence which could result in someone being considered guilty for someone's death. I imagine in that case whether that's "murder" would come down to whether you mean a legal definition (which might call it something else like "manslaughter") or the colloquial definition.

And guilt isn't a single bucket or item to be handed out to one person. Most if not all moral systems and laws admit of varying degrees of responsibility and culpability and work within that framework (see situations where a bank robbery goes wrong and one robber kills someone and the getaway driver is also charged as an accessory to the killing).
