I had thought that the number 186 meant to kill someone . . ?

Wiki:

Eighty-six or 86 is American English slang, meaning, according to the Oxford English Dictionary, "to eject or debar (a person) from premises; to reject or abandon"

Outside this context, the term is generally used with the meaning to 'get rid of' someone or something.

In politics

In 2018, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, then-White House Press Secretary under President Donald Trump, was asked to leave the Red Hen restaurant in Lexington, Virginia. This was reported by Brennan Gilmore with a note saying "86 – Sara Huckabee Sanders"

" murder or homicide . To be on the lookout for someone who is trying to kill you "
