According to charging documents, the Super 8 management office confirmed that Day rented a room at the motel where Matthews and Moore were shot to death. 

Investigators found guns, cell phones, clothing, blood and other evidence in the room when it was searched. 

Court documents claim Matthews arrived with Day in his black Porsche SUV just before 5 a.m. After Day reserved the room, investigators say surveillance video shows her placing a key card to their suite on the ground behind the tires of Matthews's Porsche. 

Shortly before 6:15 a.m. a blue Infiniti sedan pulls up to the motel and a man grabs the hidden key card. 

At 6:55 a.m. three suspects got out of the Infiniti. Officers say the suspects walked up to the room with firearms and wearing masks to cover their faces before using the key card Day is accused of hiding for them. 

A short time later, Day is seen leaving the room and getting into the Infiniti. Soon, two of the three suspects leave as well and the SUV drives away. 

Detectives claim Day conspired with the other men to rob Matthews. She and Jenkins both face multiple charges in connection to the shooting.
