The fact that news reporting about suicides increase suicide in the same geographical region and of the same type has been known since the 1970s (social proof model). https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0007252 … (refs 8-15)

The general idea is that this applies to violent crimes generally as well. I have not looked into the specific evidence for this broader issue. Not sure if just avoiding to mention the name specifically has that much of an impact, but media reporting should take care.
