put out smb.'s light
жарг.
убить, лишить жизни, прихлопнуть, кончить кого-л. [первонач. разг. шекспировское выражение; см. цитату]

Othello: "Put out the light, and then put out the light: If I quench thee, thou flaming minister, I can again thy former light restore Should I repent me: - but once put out thy light, Thou cunning'st pattern of excelling nature, I know not where is that Promethean heat That can thy light relume. " (W. Shakespeare, ‘Othello’, act V, sc. 2) — Отелло: "Погасить свет, а затем погасить твой свет. Погасив тебя, пламенный прислужник, я могу восстановить твой свет, если передумаю, но, если я погашу твой свет, хитрейший образец превзошедшей себя природы, я не знаю, где тот прометеев огонь, который может снова возжечь твой свет." (перевод М. Морозова)

So now, the malefactor does not murder, he "pops a man off" or "puts his light out". (DSUE) — Преступник сейчас не убивает. Он "убирает" или "кончает" намеченную жертву.
