kill a process by the pid

[purga]

I have a daemon named: shero

I can use the following command to get the pid:
pgrep -u root shero

So, is there a one-line command to kill it? something like:
kill (pgrep -u root shero)

What's the exact expression?

Thanks in advance.

Try this:

kill -9 `pgrep -u root shero`
