A dead adult and probably perp has no "right to privacy,"

Agreed, but it is appropriate and decent to withhold disclosing the ID until the next of kin have been privately and gently notified.

--- A dead adult and probably perp has no "right to privacy," Agreed, but it is appropriate and decent to withhold disclosing the ID until the next of kin have been privately and gently notified.

True, but in how many news stories is "the motive remains unclear" pressed, but in this one "allegedly gunned down over Pride flag" is featured across so many headlines?

In another mass murder perpetrated by a transsexual last March, the "manifesto" is being withheld from the public. Next of kin notified, and all.
