IF Jack Bellows (legal name John Bellows) is the shooter, then this interview from July 13, 2023 will provide important insights
I downloaded the vid and placed it on this Google Drive link. It is 42:56 min long.

I have also submitted all the information in this post to the FBI
The quick rundown is:
-Jack Bellows was born around late June 2003. He was ALREADY running for City Council (district 6) at the very young age of 20, (probably already filed paperwork when he was still 19 years old) while he was still a college student in the area where Kirk was murdered. I believe he was a student, and still might be a student, at Utah Valley University. He is also a co-chair of the Salt Lake City Democratic Socialists of America (DSA-SLC branch)
-He is a Gay self-professed Catholic. Quite possible he was/is groomed by older males, including the interviewer "Michael Valentine". Quite possible that older men of the LGBTQ2IA+P community groomed him into murdering Charlie Kirk. Being groomed by older men naturally introduces all sorts of mental issues. Quite likely he wanted to impress older men with his dedication, energy, passion, et cetera
-He started his run for City Council in 2023, his first ever attempt at political office, at the very young age of 19/20, because he lost a bet to Michael Valentine and also because teachers, professors, peers, friends, acquaintances all encouraged him to run for office. He probably came off like a very passionate and knowledgeable kid to a lot of people. Among his DSA p
-He relays anecdotes like waking up at 4:00am to go be able to make it on time to travel to join the picket line of Starbucks workers on strike, despite not working at Starbucks at the time. This is important as it indicates a willingness to be diligent, tenacious, accept discomfort, be ambitious in his activistic aims - all traits the Kirk shooter demonstrated
-He didn't own a car back in July 13, 2023 when this was filmed and takes Public Transit all over Salt Lake City rather than use a car. This is an important factoid as it indicates a familiarity with the area that the shooter himself possessed
-He states a lot of typical DemSoc talking points like "workers earn far more for their bosses than their bosses pay them" and "every single problem that my generation faces can be traced back to capitalism". Says the Salt Lake City Council is enabling assaults against people of color and the queer community
-It is quite likely that if he is the shooter, he was chosen or volunteered because he was the least overweight, and most lithe/flexible and and fastest runner of all of his DSA LGBTQ2IA+P social circle.
I may update you all at a later time with more refined points

here is what other people have compiled on Jack Bellows (legal name John Bellows)
>Jack Bellows, a U student who’s the chair of the Democratic Socialists of America, has a grandfather who was born in the Palestinian city Ramallah and his neighborhood was bombed in 1948. This was part of what Palestinians refer to as the “Nakba,” Arabic for “catastrophe“ – when militia attacks that preceded the Arab-Israeli war led to the killing of approximately 15,000 Palestinians.
"""Anti-Zionist Resolution
Salt Lake Democratic Socialists of America is proud to announce that at our January 2024 chapter meeting, we unanimously passed a resolution that reinforces Salt Lake DSA as an Anti-Zionist organization in principle and in practice. This resolution commits Salt Lake DSA to Anti-Zionism as a part of our socialist understanding of anti-colonialism, anti-imperialism, and anti-racism. It defines the Anti-Zionist expectations of our membership and endorsed candidates, political education for our membership, community, and candidates in order to meet those expectations, and follow-on procedures for failures thereof.
The resolution is a declaration of steadfast and ongoing solidarity, and will strengthen our organizing for a just future here in Utah and world-wide. We are part of a wave of DSA chapters, including Houston DSA, Inland Empire DSA, and DSA SF, passing resolutions that fully commit us to Anti-Zionism and place ourselves on the side of the Palestinian liberation struggle.
Palestine’s liberation is our liberation.

(as you can see, Jack is very politically active, high agency and organized a DSA chapter. Easy to imagine somebody like this having the initiative to commit an assassination.)
Jack follows the Utah Socialist Rifle Association, has a Deer Tattoo and has talked about being a hunter from the Deep South. The rifle used to murder Kirk was some kind of hunting rifle
"his hands. This is very typical of people with autism, that they don't know what to do with their hands, so they always look awkward. Walking constantly with your hands in your pockets, or, walking everywhere with closed fists, is a clear sign of that. This guy clearly has that issue here in the video where he's constantly balling his hands into fists."
Jack Bellows has a Deer Tattoo and a Rose Tattoo on his forearms both of which would have been concealed by the long sleeved shirt the shooter was wearing. Those tattoos would have easily identified him.
