So the guy says he's called "Payton Gendron" in his manifesto.
Here are
two articles [A1],
[A2] from the Susquehanna School District (located in NY state), published in 2017.
Grade 8 include ages 13-14. 2017 was five years ago, which would make the Gendron mentioned in the articles 18 years old today. In addition, he mentions that he lived in the Southern Tier region of NY all his life, which includes the Susquehanna School District:

Both articles mention him taking part in some STEM-related activity, which matches up well with him starting studies in engineering:

IMPORTANT EDIT:
I worded this retardedly. Didn't mean to imply that the McVeigh lookalike was Payton.
If you look at the ranking in Article 2, he's supposed to be the short, long haired kid in third place. He doesn't exactly give off incel chud shooter vibes, but with such an unique name at such a specific place and age it would be a major coincidence.
