I feel like this was an exception to the rule, since he was still at large for a while and it was imperative to the public safety that people knew who he was and what he looked like.

That said, yes, the media does need to pull back on publishing details about the killers in these situations.

At the time, maybe, but he's dead, no reason to keep parading the name and picture around anymore.
