NL50 6m - reg doesn't rep anything, leveling spot?

BN: $99.50
SB: $34
BB: $70.15
UTG: $50.25 (Hero)
HJ: $45.35
CO: $50.55
Preflop ($0.75) (6 Players)
Hero was dealt K J
Hero raises to $1.50, HJ folds, CO calls $1.50, BN folds, SB calls $1.25, BB folds
Flop ($5.00) 5 5 J (3 Players)
SB checks, Hero bets $3.50, CO raises to $7, SB folds, Hero calls $3.50
The CO is a regular, playing 27/19. 3.6 AF, ~7% 3bet. Didn't had any specific reads, seemed ok.
SB is a 33/17/1.1 player, passive, calls a lot - don't 3bet at all.

This min raise just don't make any sense. Board is super dry. He reps nothing, he shuts down the doors of value town for weaker player if he have nuts. So i decided to call.
Turn ($19.00) 2 (2 Players)
Hero checks, CO bets $9.80, Hero calls $9.80
Turn is a total blank, doesn't change anything, he bets smallish (preparing for river shove?) - i call.
River ($38.60) 2 (2 Players)
Hero checks, CO bets $32.25
River blanks again - i check - he tanks till the last seconds of his timebank (a tell?) and shoves a good sized AI.

Are you sure he's a decent reg? If so he might try to balance a tiny value range with something based around back door draws i guess. Well, the flush draw arrived on the turn.

The board is dry enough that the passive fish probably won´t change his mind on the minraise, meaning fish either folds or calls - regardless if CO calls / minraises. That said, the minraise doesn´t tell us anything, but the 2nd-barrel and the river-jam tell us that he´s likely not bluffing.

Even less so after consuming his entire timebank, from my experience, most of the time this is the attempt to create max. hollywood to fake a hard decision. It´s not as if the decision would be that hard for ANY hand in Villain´s range. That said, I´d say it´s a fold, even more so as KJ is far from being the top of your range.

Yup, villain hollywooding. Think the minraise on the flop can be part of that as well. Raising small to look week in the fishes eyes or soemething. He has a five.
