More relevant facts.

NBA All-Star tipoff was 7:30 Eastern. Martin was already pronuonced as dead before the game tipped off.

It is .9 miles from the apartment that Trayvon was staying at to the 7-Eleven on Rinehart Rd.

Yes, I was trying to focus more narrowly here on the known timeline. I’ve never been able to track down the actual source of the story that he was going to 7-11. His dad was not at home when Trayvon left the house, and the story was out there before the girlfriend came forward. There was one report that the dad’s girlfriend had a 13-year-old who was home, but I am skeptical of that account for several reasons - not least of which being that I suspect the dad would have been a little more concerned that Trayvon was not home if the younger boy had been waiting all night for him to come back while emergency vehicles swarmed the neighborhood.

Obviously, the “All-Star Game halftime” embellishment that popped up early on was fiction.
