Best summary that I've come accros is this one on PolitiFact.
There's no clear proof so far to show he's a groyper or right-wing in general. But this source at least explains very clearly how the messages engraved on the bullets can hardly be taken as indicators of left-wing stance, and that they rather show that the intention of the killer was to dog-whistle to some friends and to confuse as many parts of the public as possible (see the last section "Internet finds meanings for mysterious etchings on bullet casings"). From that, the vibe he gives me that he's an alt-right 4chan edgelord kind of guy, but proof for this has yet to come.
The meme/edgelord stuff alone screams 4chan or similar. I've just not seen a site with even a left-ish bend where you could radicalize somebody like this.
Meme bullet etchings even on reddit would be an immediate ban or moderation because it shows people online are manipulating somebody who has an obsession with guns. Almost certainly mass shooter behavior.
