It very much looks like he is waiting for someone. From that, I would infer that he was either really waiting for someone or he wanted to create the impression that he was waiting for someone. One possible reason he went to that station and not the one he usually went to; which was closer to his home, was that there were better CCTV there. This is total speculation/conjecture on my part.

It's an idea, but I can't think of a case where someone staged their suicide to appear as a possible homicide, can you? He wouldn't have known LE would seek out that specific footage. So I believe he was actually waiting for someone and something happened. Of course, none of us know for sure...
Florida man faked his murder using a gun and a weather balloon
The mysterious death of Alan Jay Abrahamson has been solved, police say, after piecing together an elaborate suicide plot that included a weather balloon hoisting a gun into the sky.

The mysterious death of a Florida man has been solved, police say, after piecing together an elaborate suicide plot that included a weather balloon hoisting a gun into the sky.Palm Beach Gardens police began investigating the death of Alan Jay Abrahamson as a homicide. His body was found with a bullet wound to his chest in a field near his country club home in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, on Jan. 25.
In February, police entertained the idea that Abrahamson's death might have been a suicide. The working theory became: He tied a gun to a string, attached it to the weather balloon, and once the shot was fired, the balloon carried the weapon away from the scene.

Did they confirm what the gas tank was at before he went there, or how much he bought?
I'd think it's much more likely that he was there for much more mundane reasons than some of the things being suggested.
Just getting back from the gym, (possibly after a protein shake or pre-workout drink), paired with visiting the gas station with one of the cleaner restrooms - It could be something as simple as if he was trying to figure out if he needed to answer the call of nature there or wait until he got home.
I just watched a show about this one. Totally crazy but it's true. They even found internet searches on his computer about making a suicide look like homicide. He'd been planning it for years. Fact is stranger than fiction.Florida man faked his murder using a gun and a weather balloon

files still sealed. i have seen cases, 15, 20 years old, still sealed because their status was still 'open'. i wish there was a time limit on that status if no conclusions had been made.

His niece (verified insider) said early on that the RaceTrac off Inwood was not on his normal route. Their theory was that there was a robbery at his usual fill-up place and he wanted to avoid the area in case the road was closed.

My theory hasn’t changed from the beginning: a random and likely inexperienced carjacker panicked, killed AW, and “got lucky” in terms of lack of evidence. The investigation revealed information that could embarrass or even endanger AW, his husband, or both - but that info isn’t related to his...

That post links to a 7-Eleven robbed off Oak Lawn Ave on 10/22/20 at 1 am, but it isn't verified if 7-Eleven was his usual fill-up place or if that was the robbery he was speaking of.
Masked Robbers Shoot 7-Eleven Clerk Twice At Oak Lawn Store, Then Take Off <- since the link in the original WS post now redirects, this is a more permanent link.
honestly it's hard to come up with a coherent theory that doesn't seem completely outlandish or overly complex.
The thing that currently bothers me is his phone. For quite a while, his phone was missing, then suddenly it was reported that LE had it, but never stated when/where it was recovered from.

Thank you for requesting this again and I agree with your opinion. If nothing else, I always hope your request spurs some type of a reminder that people haven't forgotten about Alan and they need to dust off his case file!
Alan's brother Tim made a four year anniversary post of Alan's disappearance/murder. He says the case is still active and asks that people stop speculating it was suicide.

Thank you @jig - it's helpful to know Alan's family states he did NOT commit suicide, he was murdered! I hope all those who have speculated here, can now put that to rest.
Also good to know the investigation is active and not a cold case. It sounds like the family continues to communicate with DPD - that makes me happy to hear, I've wondered whether that was happening.

I don’t want to be guilty of spreading rumors or otherwise muddying the reputation of a murder victim but this whole situation is unusual. During most murder investigations, the cause of death is not withheld. When it is withheld, there are presumably “ operational” reasons. Sometimes it is at the behest of the family.
What ever the reason, cause of death and other information derived from the autopsy would be not only critical evidence against the perpetrator but key information as to what may have happened. People in Dallas want to know of what dangers exist out there.
Just because a family member says it wasn’t a suicide does not prove to me it wasn’t a suicide.
It is only natural for a family member to protect the reputation of their dead loved one.
The silence from those who first spoke up when AW was missing and then went silent after the body was found perplexes me. So does the relative silence of law enforcement.
