Where was BT really going in CCTV?

[u/Infinite_Being_2108]

Since BT was killed near entrance of Hilton I always thought that at moment of murder BT was going from the hotel he was staying to Hilton.

After rewatching the CCTV of the murder, I noticed that while he was killed near entrance, he actually already walked past the doors when he was hit.

See the red lines I drew on the right. I believe that was the end of door so he did walk past the doors at this point and I dont see from his body positioning that he was about to turn

Below is the clear view of this entrance, You see that woman on CCTV is standing next to wall and according to that I drew approximate positions of her and BT which shows he wasnt planning to use this entrance

Now I know that there is the main entrance on 6th Avenue but I cant come up with logical explanation why he would have to use specifically that one. Even if he needed to be there, he could have just made his way from inside the hotel

EDIT: This is not a loading zone! This is an entrance. In a news coverage video here you can see ordinary people using it as entrance

Next thing on the street after the entrance there is a bar that belongs to Hilton but on their website I found it is closed during that time of the day

I know this might be me nitpicking but I think it is important to keep facts straight and according to my logic BT was not going into Hilton or at least he was not using this entrance

Now according to my pure speculation I think he was planning to meet someone and in bigger picture I think the murder is related to accusations of insider trading and fraud

FINAL EDIT: This entrance might be used by belhoppers and loading but it is also used by public. Verified by videos on news. However as some said it might have been closed at 6 am (wish someone could go to NYC and verify) or I might have underestimated the ego of CEOs who would make it a point to enter through main entrance. I wont be deleting the post of course, since fruitful discussions occurred in the comments

It looks like others cleared up why he was walking past the entrance but I always thought it was odd, though, that BT wasn’t just staying at the Hilton. It’s a hotel. Where was he staying if not there? And how would the shooter have known he wasn’t staying at the Hilton? If I was the suspect, I would have just assumed he was staying there for the conference unless I had specific info otherwise telling me he would be walking in from the street.

Not to mention, he made a Starbucks run 3 blocks away like 15 minutes before hand after being out there for an hour “waiting” and walking around. Why risk leaving the scene and missing him? And then, according to the complaint he was basically in position and waiting for BT less than 10 minutes before BT actually walked by. So it kind of seems like he knew he had time for a Starbucks run. But also, then I question why he felt the need to go out there an hour beforehand just to walk around and wait when it’s 30° outside in December? But then leave the scene so close to the encounter and go 3 blocks away for a couple granola bars and some water? Strange.

I agree, although the timelines in several news articles I’ve seen (the time is omitted in the NY federal indictment) state that he was seen in Starbucks at 6:15/6:17am, about 30m before the 6:44/6:45am shooting. One of the articles states that the timeline information was received from the NYPD.

Still odd to walk three blocks away ~30m in advance. My best explanation for now is that he knew he had to keep moving to avoid looking suspicious, and he must have had precise information about the route and timing of the CEO’s movements that morning. I find it impossible to believe the suspect obtained that precise info through “social engineering,” per the alleged “to the feds” document.
