Even though theism has nothing to say regarding right and wrong. Theism simply means "At least one god exists". It's just a stance on the existence of deities.
Then the following system is theist
{"God exists", "God commands us to kill", "Killing is right"}
I appreciate that you have an interpretation of what god commands or desires that precludes killing people, I really do. I think that's a fine judgement call on your part. Others disagree.
