If I was the employee,and had followed written protocols, I would not want my name out there while a police investigation and internal investigation might still be underway.

If Mr. Munoz hadn't offered his support, the UA gate agent may very well have been in need of union appointed legal representation. She still may need legal help, which UA should provide as her employer, on any civil cases going forward.
I suspect that Dr Dao did not want his name out there either. In fact, the police aren't even investigating him, so there's even less reason to release his name or other details.
