Is there an estimate for the number of individuals killed by Luke Skywalker?
There must have been thousands of beings on the first Death Star, but the movies don't give a specific kill count. So how many people including but not limited to Death Star casualties?
369,466 people, from the video referenced in Rogue Jedi's answer.
But movies aren't the only high-level canon anymore!
He also appears to kill at least one more stormtrooper in the preceding battle.
One Imperial agent:
They recovered quickly after the first one cried out with a charred hole in his chest; whatever armor he was wearing wasn’t up to deflecting the heat from my blaster turned up to maximum.
Some TIE fighters, one person per fighter:
I squeezed the blaster trigger and held it down as we approached the edge; two TIE fighters emerged from beneath the ship—the vanguard of the second squadron—caught bolts in their cockpits, and exploded. Four down, twenty to go—though the second squadron was still in the process of scrambling into action.
...
But the shock wave continued in our direction, too, plowing through the trailing TIE fighters behind us and shuddering them apart. We watched on the scanner as the red triangles representing the enemy disappeared one by one. They kept firing green bolts, as if they were determined to see us dead before they died themselves. Almost all of it sailed past our cockpit into the void, but the concentrated fire was too much to dodge forever and another bolt clipped us, essentially wiping out our shields except for a courtesy veil of energy as sheer as a negligee. The fire eased up as the TIEs were destroyed, but the closest one with the best angle landed one on the rear starboard and, a fraction of a second before it was obliterated, took out the sublight engine there, which spelled the end for us.
Four shot initially + one agent + a "string" of fighters (at least 3) is at least 8.
This video states that he killed 369,4661 people. Given the number of people in the first Death Star, an average AT-AT and Jabba's sail-barge, the numbers check out.
1Well, technically, it states he killed 369,469 beings, but that includes three animals, which I assume you don't count.
