As in where the killer has openly professed to subscribe to Incel ideology or clearly cited a hatred of women in his manifesto / motives for killing.

I can think of Elliot Rodger and Mark Lepine.

And now Jake Davidson obviously.

There are some who suggest that the Columbine shootings were linked to Incel ideology, and a lot of subsequent shootings have found to be linked to Columbine in some way ie the perpetrator had studied the Columbine massacre in some way or read articles or books about it, or even mentioned Eric and Dylan in their writings.
I've just finished the Dave Cullen book on Columbine and Sue Kleibold's book about the shootings. Very interesting.

I've just listened to the Redhanded podcast about the Columbine shootings and it was suggested that one of the shooters felt rejected by a specific girl at school, even though he had never talked to her. Definite incel vibes.

What was also interesting, in a wider discussion, they talked about the difference between hate and contempt, and that shooters didn't just hate their victims, but they had real contempt for them too - I suppose this allowed them to not see their victims as people, just targets - which is probably quite relevant when talking about any type of misogyny.

Just watched that video. I hope Laura Bates knows how brave she is to carry on despite the threats to her safety.

She really cares about women.
