Lawyer says 26-year-old accused ‘very much appreciates the outpouring of support’ on fundraising platform

Mangione “very much appreciates the outpouring of support”, said a statement on GiveSendGo that was attributed to his attorney, Karen Friedman Agnifilo.

There's only one occurrence of Luigi. The slogan was "free Luigi", not "free Mangione".

I just think that his was a political act like other historical regicides. Ravaillac is a historical name, like Luigi has now become. Why avoid it?

Usually you mention a full name once (as done in the second paragraph) and then only use the last name. Fairly sure that's how it goes for all normal articles. You see the same thing on Wikipedia. I do think the slogan should've been mentioned, though.
