There were indeed. It seems this was a regular part of Ahmaud's normal daily (or evening) runs. At least on Satilla Shores woman, who did not provide her last name but was called Nancy said she was accustomed to seeing him on his runs.
English first called LE about a black man on his property, at night, in October 2019. From the NYT article linked again below:
"Beginning in October (2019), residents called 911 at least 86 times, reporting suspicious people, suspicious vehicles, and numerous incidents of possible trespassing."
The black man (or men if not the same individual) seen on English's cameras appeared there at night, never during the day. But, English had sent LE videos and a description of the "trespasser" in fall 2019, and both videos and description had been posted on the neighborhood's FB page.
And, police officer Robert Lee Rash was actively canvassing the neighborhood, asking residents if they had seen anyone who matched the description English provided. According to a report written by Robert Lee Rash on February 11, 2020, no resident reported having seen anyone matching the description.
All of which suggests, imo, that if AA jogged through Satilla Shores between late October 2019 and the day he was killed, it almost certainly was at night.
I've wondered if the fact AA chose to jog during the day on Feb 23 had to do with the night of February 11. Given how few roads there are in the neighborhood, the extent of the commotion after TM just happened to see AA (assuming it was AA; imo it was), and that LE arrived within a few minutes of being called by TM, it's difficult to believe AA wasn't aware that something must have happened over near where he had just been, and perhaps the neighborhood wasn't as safe at night as he had assumed.
