Shooter appears to be a white male, late 20s or early 30s by the look of it. The t-shirt he was wearing is allegedly marked with branding for a firearms-related YouTube channel.
Looks like Thomas Matthews Crooks is not the right guy:
He posted a video saying “you’ve got the wrong guy” but looks like he’s been talking to lawyers and decided to make his whole account private now".
I see a lot of outlets claiming that the FBI identified him, but I don’t see any actual statements from the FBI themselves (beyond a statement asking for more information from the public). Skimming through the various articles with his name and I can’t find any links to an actual source either. I might have missed a video somewhere.
It could be that the name is correct, and this guy was baiting journalists into showing his picture and lying about his real name.

All the major outlets are reporting that the FBI confirms it’s him now. Very confusing, all round.

To be fair, I would label anyone trying to kill Hitler as an anti fascist. Unless it’s someone trying to take over in his place, at least.
Many of the people trying to kill Hitler were fellow fascists.
