"killing a story" could mean at least two things, depending on context. It could mean spoiling or damaging a story (e.g. a badly made film of a book could be said to "kill the story"), or it could mean suppressing a story or preventing its publication (e.g. said of a news story).

When a newspaper editor refuses to permit an article to be published, he kills the story.

The expression cannot be used outside the field of publishing without sounding wrong, so no, you're not using the phrase correctly.
