Murillo represented the Venezuela under-20 team in the 2015 South American Youth Football Championship in a first stage exit.[12]

On 11 February 2015, Murillo made his debut for Venezuela in an international friendly against Honduras; he scored the winning goal in a 2–1 victory.[13] In 2016, he was named in the 40-men preliminary list for the Copa América Centenario but he eventually was excluded from the final squad.[14]
