It's possible that most of the people he ran into didn't really care that much, or weren't caught up on the news before shit hit the fan.
Maybe a lot of them did know, but didn't mention it because there are worse people out there? Or maybe, since most of the interesting stuff that happened to Lee's group happened three months in to the apocalypse, people had bigger fish to fry. More things to worry about then a man who killed a senator before the apocalypse.
It might have been a big story, but I doubt everyone would have looked into it. Carley says she paid attention to Lee's trial, but I doubt the rest of them would have followed it, especially the out-of-towners like Kenny and his family. They probably heard on TV about a man that killed a senator, or read a newspaper about it, but I doubt they committed Lee's name and face to memory. And even if they heard/read about it, it's possible that they just didn't make the connection. I mean, given what's going on, they have a lot more important things on their mind.
Heck, I'd bet that Larry probably didn't even make the connection when Lee first showed up. He probably realized it later in the episode. Carley's the only one that really shows any type of suspicion (there's a dialogue option where Lee can mention the keys being in the office, and Carley immediately asks how he knows it's an office).
But now that I think of it, it probably would have made more sense to have had Lee kill someone like, say, a local store owner or something. Something that'd make the local news and that some people could recognize him for, but not a super huge story otherwise.

Maybe because he wasn't also a famous football star?
Irrelevant in a zombie apocalypse.
