Is it possible to love someone unconditionally, even if say, they killed every person on Earth?

Would a heinous act follow with hatred and/or withholding of love towards the loved one who did it, or is love for family, friends, etc truly beyond boundaries?

Unconditional Love...is a condition....so be careful..when some one asks for that kinda love....they are setting a condition by removing conditions....so in truth unconditional love is a condition...if you see my point?..and hence unconditional love does not exist.

There's billions of people in the world; I am sure at least one of them is capable of it. Maybe they might even meet another person who is.

But probably not.

I can't imagine that there has ever been a relationship between two sentient organisms in which there have been no conditions. Without conditions, there can be no relationship. Within a relationship between two human beings there is, at a minimum, the condition of mutual expectations...whatever those expectations may entail.

I believe it does exist.

Not sure what you mean by "withholding of love"?

Just a fancy way of saying you'd stop loving them.
