Oh that's easy, article was already written before the name was released and it was just a quick Find and Replace, Editing? What's that? No time in the modern media era. Gotta be the first to report it 3 seconds before the competition.

Can confirm, had a friend who listened to police scanners for a major news station. One time a cop goofed and said the victim’s name (a minor) over the radio, and my friend was thrilled because they had a name to release the instant it was allowed. Less of a friend after I saw their level of glee.
