Candace Owens stunned the public when she unveiled a never-before-seen photograph of Tyler Robinson — captured at 6:38 p.m. inside a Dairy Queen, just a short 17 minutes away from campus. The photo, showing Robinson calm and composed, has fueled an avalanche of speculation online, with many insisting that the timestamp itself could alter the entire timeline of events.
In the image, Robinson appears at ease, wearing a maroon shirt, blue jeans, sunglasses, and a cap. His relaxed stance and unreadable expression sharply contrast with the public’s perception of the tense moments leading up to the incident. To many, the photo doesn’t align with the narrative they’ve been told — instead, it raises a flood of new questions.
Within hours of Owens’ release, the photo spread across social media like wildfire. Twitter, TikTok, and Instagram erupted with hashtags such as #TylerRobinson, #CandaceOwensPhoto, and #638PMMystery. Comment sections quickly divided: some claimed the photo revealed that Robinson was completely aware and in control of the situation, while others dismissed it as overblown speculation. Still, another group fixated on the timestamp itself, arguing that 6:38 p.m. might represent the critical turning point in the chain of events.
The location adds even more intrigue. The Dairy Queen is just a 17-minute drive from campus, putting Robinson in close proximity to where everything unfolded. The juxtaposition of his eerie calmness against the ticking timeline has become the centerpiece of countless debates and theories.
