First reference to someone, use first and last names.
George Zimmerman. Trayvon Martin.
Second reference, use last name.
Zimmerman. Trayvon.
Wait, wait.
Oh, that’s right. Martin … uh, Trayvon, was a child, so writers use his first name.
I have not seen one news story refer to Martin by his last name.
