As much as I'd love to hide the name and prevent these guys from getting glory, it's practically impossible to do since a lot of these killers have some form of social media presence, or someone knows him. Hell, even I linked to an article that had his name (my apologies if that offended anyone).
And remember, it's not just the police-hating gun toters. The Calgarian guy who just suicide bombed in Iraq? This guy had a LinkedIn profile - publicly available and gave a lot of details about his work and school history. The media was all over it, and the Imams and community members who knew him spoke openly on camera.
You're going to have to put the kybosh on two tiers of "name whistleblowers" - the family/friends/acquaintances that knew him, and the media who dig up every last detail and go through lengths to make that happen.
Idealistic, but not realistic in today's society.
