Timeline of the Crimes (June 3, 1999)

~3:30 a.m. — At his Las Vegas apartment, Floyd telephoned for an escort and, when a 20-year-old woman arrived, he threatened her with a shotgun and sexually assaulted her. He eventually allowed her to flee after warning her to run. This assault formed part of the charges later upheld on appeal. ~5:15 a.m. — Floyd walked to an Albertsons located at 3864 West Sahara Avenue, Las Vegas, entered with the shotgun, and opened fire on employees inside the store. Over approximately seven minutes, he fired multiple shells, killing four people and wounding a fifth. ~5:22 a.m. — Responding officers arrived while shots were still being fired and confronted the gunman as he exited the front doors carrying the shotgun. He surrendered outside the store and was taken into custody.
