During the trial of defendant Jose Ibarra, new evidence emerged regarding the whereabouts of his brother, Diego Ibarra, on the day of Laken Riley's killing. Surveillance video presented in court showed that Diego went to work at a University of Georgia dining hall wearing distinct clothing that differed from that of the suspect.
On February 21, the day before the tragic event, Diego was recorded clocking into work just after 4 p.m. He was seen wearing a gray shirt, red-and-white hat, a gray double-strapped backpack, and a blue North Face jacket. The following day, February 22, Diego clocked in at 3:57 p.m., hours after Riley's killing, wearing a gray shirt, red-and-black hat, and a small gray double-strapped backpack. He then clocked out around 11 p.m.
