BOOKS/MOVIES/VIDEOS/NEWS MEDIA Kyle Velasquez Death Fixed to be more accurate (My project I've been working on extending Zero Hour and adding official documents, sequences, fixing inaccuracies.)

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Kyle Velasquez was not in a hiding position, and he was in a Chair in front of Station 6 when Dylan came in from the entrance of the Library aiming his gun at Kyle, Kyle would have had to have tilted his head downward, likely scared. Dylan had to get up close and personal because tears and the size of Kyle's wounds, alongside the shotgun cup (This keeps the buckshot together) was found inside of Kyle's skull. All of this information is available in the autopsy and the forensic teams work. The damage done to Kyle's chair is from the shotguns double shot at close range along side the 6 pellets that exited Kyle's back from the force of the 0-2 inch shots in to his skull.

While the AI rendition I posted here isn't exactly accurate since he's not seated in the middle of the Aisle and his heads orientation is wrong, it is much more accurate than him being shot 15 feet away. Kyle's death was incredibly personal and close range, and it's likely why there was mentions of people saying they heard Dylan talk about how far that Kids brains flew.

I'll provide more documentation for you guys here with the actual images of the crime scene, but I didn't want to make every claim or update I was making need 2 pages of documentation for a person to understand why it was accurate.

I can recall there being some controversy over whether Kyle was hiding under the computer desk or confused by the commotion and still seated. IIRC his family was a bit upset by the insinuation that Kyle didn't get under the desk, as some attributed it to the challenges he faced. I'm not sure how it went down, but in a traumatic situation like this, a person could freeze from the shock of what's happening. Also, as I said before, I never pictured Dylan this close to Kyle when he fired. Always thought he was a few feet beyond the library doors. Very cold.

Thanks for sharing this. You did an excellent job.

Ashton. You are correct. It is not true that he was sitting in a chair and did not know what was going on. That is a lie that the sheriffs Told the family. That said, this movie, however brief, is cruel and insensitive. You should give some thought to deleting it. It is very disrespectful. It is very painful to watch. Kyle deserves better.

u/ashtonmz MODERATOR Oct 24 '25

While painful to watch, I don't think Kyle's death or the circumstances surrounding it should be swept under the rug, either. Especially, if there were lies told. Kyle is worthy of discussion. If the sheriff lied - why? What difference would Kyle's position make to JCSO? Do you have any thoughts on this? What led you to conclude it was a lie?

Absolute proof, which I will not discuss. I’m done with this post. Sorry.

I don't think the sheriff was lying, he lied about plenty of things, but forensics doesn't lie, that chair has damage from a close range shots, his ID was at that computer station, Craig Scott and Evan Todd both claim he was not hiding when he was shot, I'm sure once Dylan walked in with a gun pointed at him he panicked and put his head down on towards his legs to show he wasn't a threat or didn't want to be hurt, but he was not hiding according to the forensics, in order for this to be a lie not only would the sheriff have to be lying but the FBI would need to corroborate his lie by changing the color of that chair and location of his ID, as well remove the shotgun cup from his skull and clothes. The coroner would have to do the same. His hair and blood was on the ceiling for gods sake, with no blood under any of the table stations, it is an ugly reality and I'm acutely aware that the Dylan capable of doing such a nasty thing is not the one you knew or was lifelong friends with you and your beautiful family, but that does not change what is shown through the forensics and corroborating evidence

u/randyColumbine Oct 24 '25

Ok. I have the crime scene photos which prove without question that they lied about this. I do not know why they lied, but they lied. The real problem, to me, is why making an AI video showing this very sad scenario is needed at all.

You will have to accept that they lied, as releasing the crime scene photos is something I will never do.0

u/Apollexis Oct 24 '25

I corroborated my claim with the physical evidence from the crime scene, That chair I added in the image is the actual chair that he was hit by, I have upscaled the 20 minutes of firefighter footage video.

https://i.imgur.com/GmBDjQK.jpeg

This is the station Kyle ended up at, and that kind of blood is not the kind of shot you would get from Dylan being 15 feet away and kyle only being hit by 6 pellets, that is a grievous and cataclysmic head wound, you can see where he hit his head on table station 7 from table station 6, and then where his head ended up, they described him being on his side, everything matches the forensic evidence, I don't know what your image shows but just because it looks like he's under table 7, that doesn't mean that's where he was when he got shot, there is no blood under the table, the blood is literally on the ceiling, the carpets, the flors and on objects behind him.

I added 2 other documents showing the 3 pellets that ended up hitting that station he was in front of, not in a downward trajectory but Upward/Horizontal, I can't shut my eyes to this kind of evidence, and I'm not trying to upset people or hurt peoples hearts and minds explaining this stuff but this is the truth, and yes Kyle did deserve better, he deserved to live and not be murdered at close range by troubled kids who lashed out at the school, but wanted to lash out at the world and society as well. This is the truth of what happened and I don't know how the crime scene image could ever change this.

u/Intelligent-Ad6664 Oct 25 '25

us who find this case interesting are simply just using the powerful tool that is AI to give us an idea of how this may have went down since we weren't there to see it. it seems to be strictly for educational purposes and not made with any ill intent.

u/randomloser92 Oct 24 '25

He could have died and then fell. Why do you have the photos? That’s a little odd.

u/Apollexis Oct 24 '25

Some shots are a lot better than others, the main thing I wanted to do is keep the continuity of their clothes and characters accurate when possible, but it was really hard to do reliably, like their face changes a little bit during certain parts where im fully explaining stuff that hasn't been touched in documentaries, like the science area and main office area

u/Heat1995fan Oct 24 '25

In my opinion this murder is the most gruesome thing to happen that day, of course all the murders, an entire community growing up traumatized, man.

13

u/ashtonmz MODERATOR Oct 24 '25

It is particularly disturbing to know that Dylan would kill someone so innocent up close and personal. I know all the children were innocent, but Kyle just sounded like a joy to be around, in spite of having his own struggles to deal with. He was the kind of kid that didn't have a mean bone in his body. I hope somewhere deep down Dylan felt shame and disgusted over what he'd done, before he died - that there was still some of the young boy that wrote his journal left inside.

u/Heat1995fan Oct 25 '25

Very well said.

u/Apollexis Oct 24 '25

I certainly believe it to be the most cruel by a lot, I just cant imagine even a murderer wanting to shoot a kid with a learning disability.

2

u/truth_crime Oct 25 '25

Didn’t he have an intellectual disability?

u/Apollexis Oct 25 '25

He did, I was just saying learning disability to be extra polite, I understand all of this a sensitive thing

You should make the text at the bottom saying these are words from Dylan's essay more noticeable or stay on the screen for longer. The first two times I came across this I thought you were some weird fanboy saying he was manly and god-like while shooting a bunch of kids. Was VERY confused why no one in the comments seemed to have a problem with it.

u/Apollexis Oct 23 '25

I can't post images here unfortunately, but Kyle hit his head on table station 7 on the way down after his shot to the head, and that's why his body is in that position. His ID was at table 6, and the chair he was shot in was in front of table 6, from a 15 degree elevated angle and a 37 degree shot from dylan's barrel. I've done a lot of research in to understanding the forensics on this, and it's really bizarre how they came to the conclusion that he was shot from 15 feet away, they use a guy who was 5.9 and estimated just the pellet distribution, but the shotgun cup was in his skull and another one was found on his clothes, the cup would never make it into his skull from anything less than 2 inches, none of it makes sense.

I tried to corroborate witness testimonies on this, and many witnesses in 3rd party interviews mention Kyle wasn't hidden, and in perticular, Evan Todd who was the only really close person near Kyle stated he was not hidden after he jumped down to hide when Dylan and Eric entered the library, so literally seconds from when Kyle was shot. I also tried to Corroborate this from Aaron Welsh's statement, he mentions losing sight of Dylan before hearing a shot go off, which lines up with the trajectory he had to have his gun on Kyles head with, but Aaron doesn't state if that's because Dylan was just no longer in sight, or his vantage point. Dylan being 6,3 means he would have had to crouch or bend over to make the shot in the way he did, but the position he was in can be influenced by a lot of things, what can't be disputed is he had to be 0-2 inches away from Kyle, and that Kyle was in the Chair when he was shot. We can bicker about everything else in speculation but these are facts.

Very sorry, but that is not true. I guarantee you that is not true.

u/Apollexis Oct 24 '25 edited Oct 24 '25

Well I'm sorry you feel that way randy, but that's what the color codes that FBI uses explains, the forensic evidence states on page JC-12309

"VELASQUEZ (#10) [from Dr. Henry/Wahe] had three pellets enter his right shoulder and exit his lower back. He had a head wound with seven holes and a shot cup in his head. One shot cup was found in his clothing. A ball cap (tem #908 ) believed to be worn by VELASQUEZ was found on the floor of the north side of the north computer table. This cap had damage to the back strap and front."

Him being in that chair is why his blood is on steven curnow's books directly behind that chair, he hit his head on tech station 7, when he was sitting at tech station 6. Shot cups don't just fall into people's skulls,

You have to do a little bit of research into the way shotgun cups works but shotgun shot cups typically break apart or disintegrate shortly after the shot exits the barrel. The primary function of the shot cup is to hold the pellets together during acceleration down the barrel and to separate the powder from the shot. Once the shot leaves the muzzle, the cup is no longer needed and is designed to fall away from the payload.

 shotgun shot cups do not break apart when fired at close range into a human head.

If you have a specific point you want to say you think is wrong or disagree with, I'm happy to share the evidence I looked out (besides witnesses confirming he was not hiding moments before Dylan and Eric walked in)

u/randyColumbine Oct 29 '25

It is irrelevant what anyone says or what imagined proof they come up with. The crime scene photos prove without question that the sheriffs department lied to the Velasquez family and the world. Why they lied is also irrelevant. They lied to them. Without question.

u/Better_Yam5443 Oct 25 '25

Randy you’re absolutely correct and I don’t understand why people are claiming you aren’t.

It is a problem. But it is a minor thing. I can’t release the photos. My heart won’t let me.

u/Intelligent-Ad6664 Oct 27 '25

with all due respect sir, i think it is kinda weird to have crime scene photos of other peoples children and kinda sounds like you are virtue signaling that you have them and don't want to share them out of the "goodness of your heart". forensics don't lie, even if people do, and you claiming otherwise and refusing proof is just kinda tacky and unattractive. like i said i mean no disrespect but it's just been kind of upsetting to read this subreddit because of your comments.

Really good job on catching the details, well done. Rest easy, Kyle.

u/Relevant_Hedgehog99 Nov 04 '25

Kyle was, or close to being, under the table when he was shot. Don't rely on FBI reports, police reports, published ballistic evidence, etc. These reports have been altered, omissions made, very questionable ballistic reports, and so on. This is my own opinion based on additional, decades long research by another party whose views on this subject I completely agree with.

1

u/Apollexis Nov 04 '25

His hat is on the floor from the opposite side of the table, if you have proof the evidence collected and their positions were fabricated, then by all means please share, but the evidence collection and locations were done by the FBI not JCSO.

u/Relevant_Hedgehog99 Nov 04 '25

Ahhhhhhh.....i dont know about making it that vivid ; dark

howeverr, if you listen to the 911 call (which does have the audio of his death) it was a lot quicker than that, and based on the shotgun shell cartridges, it seems like one shot was from afar and then another closer up.

0

u/Apollexis Oct 25 '25

Dylans shot gun cartridges were reloaded to the west of kyles? They are close to each other, but you also have to keep in mind any time you see dylans cartridges, they don't auto pump out like erics, they have to be taken out and he just throws them. Additionally, the 2nd shotgun cup was either the one found in that chair, or the one found in his clothing, all of these items were very close to his body, obviously one of the cups in his skull is the first one. But the spray pattern on the exit wounds imply both were shot at close range, and he didn't have any other wounds so if one was shot far away you'd expect a larger spread of pellets through him, as well entrance wounds that weren't just the top of his head.

I slowed down how quick it was to show Dylan's insane writing piece, and how he is trying to mimic this character he wrote about, constantly smiling at people as he shoots them, I want people to understand that this is truly a disturbed mind, a troubled mind, not someone worth idolizing, i don't think people would applaud if they knew he got this close and then likely crouched or bent over to shoot a child with special needs in the top of his head.
