Morphology

wacked = whack (opaque) = whack + ed

The morphology is regular, but the criminal slang sense 'kill' is a specialized semantic extension that is not predictable from the base verb.

Etymology

Wacked is used in crime slang to mean 'killed' and it comes from the same verb whack that gangs used to mean 'to kill'. That's why saying someone was 'wacked' means they were murdered.
