Let's judge him by his actions. He was a monster.

Deadnaming them is disrespectful to the whole trans community. Disrespect the individual, not the community.
I tend to lean towards using their chosen name outside of official communication. But news that they committed murder, I tend to want to know their legal name. If they had changed it, that would be a different story.
