On Monday, Sheriff Waters released video of the gunman prior to the shooting, as well as surveillance footage from inside the store.

The unfolding of events indicates that the perpetrator left his parents’ residence in the nearby Clay County around 11:39 a.m. on Saturday before making his way to Jacksonville. At 1:18 p.m., he communicated with his father, requesting him to check his computer.

The shooter had written a series of “manifestoes,” among them a letter addressed to his parents, Sheriff Waters said. In the writings, he laid out his disturbing and hate-fueled ideology, providing insight into the motivations behind his heinous actions, as conveyed by Sheriff Waters.
