Why do we remember the perpetrators more than the victims?

It was ten years ago today that I woke up to the news of a mass shooting at a theater in my general neighborhood. I knew one of the victims directly, and knew several people who knew others. For a long time the local news outlets (along with some national media) could not seem to mention the incident without stating the gunman’s name.
Recently there have been a few articles about the tenth anniversary of the incident. These articles chose NOT to mention the names of the shooter.
Since the University of Texas incident in 1966 there have been 889 victims, 130 events, 133 shooters, 318 weapons,
