Michael:
In Matthew it is a singular masculine relative pronoun, which means it only refers to Zechariah
In Luke, it is a singular masculine article, which means it only refers to Zechariah.

Subject: [B-Greek] Abel to Zechariah
Having no personal knowledge of Biblical Greek, I appreciate the
opportunity to draw upon the knowledge of those who do to answer the
following question regarding alternate translations of the Biblical
Greek in two parallel verses.
Setting aside historical and theological expectations for the moment
and without doing violence to original Greek text, could "who" and
"whom" (the pronouns referring to the "murdered between the temple
and the altar") in the following verses refer to every righteous
person from Abel to Zechariah, or must it refer to Zechariah only?:
(NASB) Matt. 23:35 so that upon you may fall the guilt of all the
righteous blood shed on earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to
the blood of Zechariah, the son of Berechiah, whom you murdered
between the temple and the altar.
(NASB) Luke 11:51 from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechariah,
who was killed between the altar and the house of God; yes, I tell
you, it shall be charged against this generation.
