List all running process on an ESXi Host and kill one via powerCLI

I can get the list easily enough with (Get-EsxCli).system.process.list()

However, once I have my list of processes and decided which ones I need to kill, what powecli command can i run to actually kill the identified process?

None.
With esxcli you can only "kill" VM, not regular ESXi processes.
You will need to go via an SSH session, and kill the process from there.
