Are you sure, you got it right or is it phonetic ?
if it's "thanks for not killing me yesterday " then it's not proper French which would be : Merci de ne pas m'avoir tué hier soir.
other wise it sounds a bit like : thanks for not waiting for me yesterday : "merci pour ne pas m'attendre hier soi" but even though I would have said " merci de ne pas m'avoir attendu hier soir" this last one is the most logic to me. Hope this help

You can't use a pres. participle - killing - in French in this construction: an infinitive is required.
Merci de ne pas m'avoir tué(e) hier soir = thank you for not killing me last night / yesterday evening.
