Agent David Hull Traces Tyler Robinson's Four Campus Visits Through UVU Surveillance Footage Leading to September 2025 Assassination
Agent David Hull provides detailed testimony tracing Tyler Robinson's movements across four visits to the UVU campus on September 10-11, 2025. Through extensive surveillance video analysis, Hall tracks Robinson from a distinctive vehicle through campus buildings, onto the Losee building rooftop where a shot was fired at 12:23 PM, and his subsequent flight from the scene. The testimony includes Ring doorbell footage from a nearby residence and interaction with Spanish Fork police at 12:30 AM, painting a comprehensive timeline of the events leading to and following the shooting incident.
Agent David Hull testified that the investigation began with video footage capturing the shooter on top of the Losee building. From that known point, investigators worked both forward and backward through the timeline using UVU surveillance video to establish how the individual came to be on the rooftop and where he went afterward. This methodical approach proved fruitful, allowing investigators to trace the subject's movements with considerable detail, particularly regarding how he arrived at the location.
Hall confirmed that Tyler Robinson visited the UVU campus at least four times on September 10th and 11th, 2025, and that investigators attempted to track his movements through surveillance footage during each of those visits. The investigation revealed additional footage of Robinson on campus beyond what was included in the primary evidence exhibit.
First Campus Visit: Morning Arrival
At approximately 8:30 AM on September 10, 2025, surveillance footage captured a vehicle believed to belong to Robinson arriving in the parking garage on campus. The identification was based on information from driver's license and Department of Motor Vehicle records. According to Hall, the vehicle had a very distinct shape, but most notably featured very distinctive wheels that stood out in the footage.
The driver, wearing a maroon or red t-shirt, shorts, and shoes, exited the vehicle and walked on foot out of the parking garage into the campus. Hall identified this individual as Tyler Robinson. From there, Robinson proceeded to the quad area of campus, which Hall also referred to as the amphitheater, where he made contact with representatives from TPUSA (Turning Point USA).
At approximately 9:25 AM, Robinson returned on foot to the same vehicle and subsequently drove out of the parking structure. The parking garage is located just off Campus Drive, within a short walk from the amphitheater area.
Second Visit: The Blue Backpack
Just after 10:00 AM, surveillance captured Robinson returning to campus on foot from the neighborhood to the northeast. He was wearing the same clothing as in the previous video—a maroon-colored t-shirt with gray or olive-colored shorts and Converse shoes—and was carrying a blue backpack.
Investigators were able to track Robinson's movements during this visit. He went to Chick-fil-A in the Sorenson Center, which is located on the northeast side of the amphitheater, on the upper back edge furthest from where the TPUSA tent was located. He purchased food, sat down, and ate.
After eating, Robinson moved across campus, crossing Campus Drive into a wooded area on the northeast side. When he returned to campus, investigators noticed he was no longer carrying the backpack he had been wearing. He then moved through the Gunther building and the computer science building before proceeding to the railing that provides access to the roof of the Losee building.
Robinson came back down the stairs and walked off campus around 11:00 AM. Hall noted that the parking structure Robinson had used was located just north of and adjacent to the LDS Institute building on campus.
Third Visit: Changed Appearance and Altered Gait
Video footage captured Robinson returning to campus on foot the same way he had previously. While Hall recognized him by his shoes and overall appearance, Robinson was now wearing noticeably different clothing. More significantly, he was walking with a pronounced gate or limp that had not been present in earlier footage.
Surveillance showed Robinson coming up the stairs of the parking structure, still displaying difficulty walking. When he left the parking structure, he came up around Campus Drive using a cut-through north of the Losee building. In the video, Robinson appeared as the rear of two individuals walking on the sidewalk, moving south across the front of the Losee building with the noticeable limp.
The Shooting Incident
At approximately 12:15 PM on September 10, 2025, surveillance captured an image looking across the parking lot toward the Losee building. An individual appeared on the exterior staircase that provides access to the building's roof and the railing area. The footage showed the individual rolling over the railing onto the roof of the Losee building.
The individual was then seen running across the rooftop to the southwest corner of the building, crouching down, and then crawling to the corner. At around 12:22-12:23 PM, the person could be seen lying prone at the edge of the building. Hall identified this individual as Robinson.
At precisely 12:23:28 PM, a shot was reported fired. Immediately after, the individual stood up and moved across the building toward the north, moving behind the atrium area on the rooftop to the northeast corner. Surveillance then captured Robinson lowering himself and jumping off the roof of the Losee building onto the grass area below, then moving away toward Campus Drive. He appeared to be carrying some kind of object in his hand.
At 12:24:42 PM, Robinson crossed Campus Drive and dropped down into the wooded area on the far side of the road.
Police Interaction and Ring Doorbell Evidence
Surveillance footage from the intersection of Campus Drive and 800 South captured a vehicle attempting to turn right onto Campus Drive—the vehicle Hall identified as belonging to Robinson. The vehicle was then seen pulling away and heading east on 800 South.
Hall testified that when the vehicle was stopped at approximately 12:30 AM on September 11, 2025, it made contact with Officer Goforth, who was conducting security detail for the Spanish Fork Police Department. Hall had a conversation with Goforth about this interaction.
According to Hall, something about the interaction triggered Goforth's cop intuition, prompting him to make note of the vehicle's license plate. When information became available that a vehicle matching that description was involved in the incident, Goforth ran the partial plate information he had obtained. The search identified the vehicle as registered to two owners: Tyler Robinson and Amber Robinson. Goforth told Hall that he believed the male he interacted with was Tyler Robinson.
Residential Surveillance Footage
In addition to UVU campus surveillance, investigators collected Ring doorbell footage from surrounding neighborhoods. One significant piece of evidence came from a residence located at 680 West 925 South in Orem, in the area known as Horseshoe, close to campus.
The Ring doorbell video showed a vehicle consistent with the one identified as belonging to Robinson parking in front of the residence across the street at approximately 12:38 AM (0038 hours) on the morning of September 11th. This footage was obtained as part of the canvas of the area conducted during the investigation.
Hall identified the homeowners as Mr. and Mrs. Noble, and testified that Agent Davis collected the video directly from them. Both Hall and Davis later returned to the address to have the owners verify the footage was from their system and complete an 1102 statement, following the same procedure they had used with previous videos.
The nighttime footage, looking from the front porch of the Noble residence across the street, was significant because it corroborated the timeline. Investigators knew from UVU footage that the person believed to be Robinson had an interaction with law enforcement, and shortly after, the vehicle appeared at the Noble residence. Cell phone data also indicated Robinson was in the area.
What made the vehicle identification particularly reliable was its very distinct wheels. While Hall acknowledged the wheels weren't wholly unique, in terms of the video footage being reviewed, they were fairly unique and stood out clearly. The Ring doorbell footage was broken into 10-second segments, and Hall showed specific files to Mrs. Noble for verification.
Video Evidence Details
Hall collected the written statement from Miss Noble on April 6th, going to her residence with Agent Davis. They sat with her while she prepared the statement and witnessed her signature. The statement was prepared on a State Bureau of Investigations form and included an advisory that it would be used in lieu of her testimony, along with a warning that providing a false statement would be punishable as a class A misdemeanor.
The Ring doorbell compilation video admitted as evidence consisted of multiple short videos in sequence. The first showed the vehicle believed to be driven by Robinson pulling up and parking across the street in front of the Noble residence. The next segment captured an individual getting out of the vehicle (the door closing could be heard on the audio), then moving away from the front of the vehicle. The person could be seen passing two reflective panels on a dumpster.
In the second-to-last segment, the individual returned across those reflective panels to the vehicle, unlocked it, and got inside. In the final video, the vehicle was started and the individual drove away. Throughout the footage, night sounds including crickets chirping could be heard on the audio.
Courtroom Identification
During testimony, Hall confirmed that based on all the video evidence he had reviewed from UVU surveillance combined with driver's license and DMV records, he believed the person depicted in the footage was present in the courtroom. The judge allowed Hall to make a formal identification of Tyler Robinson for the purposes of the preliminary hearing.
