Timeline of the alleged surveillance footage of Tyler Robinson
*all times and dates are in MDT
This timeline pertains only to the surveillance footage. I intend to make a more comprehensive one later.
Edit (May 23): Updating this now with new alleged surveillance footage described in the warrants unsealed last month (no actual footage is available online). All affidavit/search warrant info with no footage is marked with a blue circle.

🔵 (8:28 AM) Gray Dodge Challenger with Tyler's license plate enters a UVU parking structure. He parks, exits the car, and walks around the campus. He is seen in a wooded area near where a rifle is later recovered, and the site where Kirk is shot. (Search warrant)
🔵 (9:24 AM) Tyler returns to his car. (Search warrant)
🔵 (9:32 AM) Tyler drives away from the parking structure and travels northeast from the campus, the direction from which he is later observed walking toward the campus. (Search warrant)
🔴 (9:57 AM) The suspect walks past the same house again in the opposite direction wearing the same maroon t-shirt outfit, backpack seems lighter in color than stairwell pics?

🔴 (time given as 8:07 AM, but likely around 10:07 AM) The suspect walks down a residential street, wearing maroon t-shirt, gray shorts, Converse high tops, backpack

*TMZ gives the timestamp as 8:07 AM. However, according to Gray Hughes Investigates and other sources, the video appears to have been taken two hours later based on shadow analysis. It'd also make less sense for Tyler to have parked and walked around on foot before entering his car again and driving to UVU.
