"To their credit they said in the article there were no other signs of support elsewhere - the kid also liked the Israeli defense force page?"

Yes, they did point out that has Facebook posts looked very normal, and that there were no signs that he was a political activist or cultist of any stripe, or that he had bizarre interests or expressed bizarre ideas.

"They ran into the mosque, screaming “Allahu Akbar”."

Either it was some sort of intra-Muslim feud, or they were anti-Muslim and being sarcastic or mocking.

I was looking at his Facebook page this morning. Now it’s gone, along with all google references to it.

Coulter’s Law: The longer it takes the media to identify a shooter the less likely he is white and Christian.

seems like they’re going to push alexandre as the lone “gunmen” being he is white and “pro trump”, and the other ‘suspect’ is now a witness.

It’s all very fishy. I wonder if the Moroccan “witness who called 911” put the other guy up to it. They want attacks on other Muslims to justify their actions and to create a false narrative.
