I am talking morally speaking. If you could prevent a murder without incurring yourself harm, but CHOSE to be passive instead, then you are MORALLY CULPABLE in my view.

ok, that's an interesting view
the only problem is that
this moral framework makes YOU personally responsible for every crime you COULD HAVE prevented

No.
99.999999999% of crimes you either:
- didn't know about
- you could not have prevented anyways
- the effort and/or risk involved is unreasonable
But calling the police to prevent a murder is an example of a situation where none of these criteria apply. You have no excuse for actively chosing to allow a murder.

most people refuse to give police witness statements in murder cases
because they don't like being murdered

- didn't know about
any moral framework that actively incentivizes ignorance is clearly on the right track
