What This Image Shows

A screenshot of a post from an account shown as Sam Parker, handle @BasedSamParker, posted 23 minutes before capture. The composite shows a photograph of a campus security camera on the left and a cropped records-response document on the right, with a threaded reply below reading "Request denied" and "Appeal."

The post reads: "BREAKING: UVU has denied our GRAMA request for the camera footage from behind Charlie's tent. This is the camera that captured the actions and reactions of Mikey McCoy, Blake Neff, Terryl Farnsworth and others after Charlie was shot and they fled the scene." The document excerpt describes the request as covering "cameras located at or near the pedestrian tunnel under Campus Drive... on September 10, 2025, from 12:00 PM MDT to 6:00 PM MDT. This includes footage from entry/exit points of the tunnel, adjacent pathways, and any overlapping campus security cameras," and cites the exemption for "Records created or maintained for civil, criminal, or administrative enforcement purposes where their release could reasonably be expected to interfere with enforcement proceedings."

The document is the substance here: a specific camera, a specific six-hour window, and a denial on a named statutory ground. That is one of the clearest records in this archive of footage existing and being withheld. The characterization of the named individuals' movements as fleeing is the poster's; leaving an area after a shooting is what people do, and none of them has been charged with anything.
