Because she is a crime victim, possibly domestic violence related, and this tragic incident is still raw and fresh. There are laws and policies about disclosing victim information without consent.
Im sure Kimberly is aware of this but is just doing her due diligence as a journalist on a subject of substantial local interest.
Also, readers should be aware this homicide happened only 4 days ago and is still under active investigation as we fill in the missing pieces. Its premature to start releasing too many details so soon, and doing so piecemeal, on demand, creates other issues and detracts from our focus on the investigation itself. However, we understand people want to know what happened.
We will release more information as we responsibly are able to.
