Why don't you just accept the reality that it was only about 3-4 feet, max?
Because the shadows seen moving on the pavement in front of the truck are consistent with being of the upper body of both men. There are spaces of no shadow between the shadow of the bumper and the edge of the upper body shadows. If they were three feet from the bumper the upper body shadow should be on the grill and hood of the truck.
Because the shadows do not move parallel with the bumper. TM’s shadow during his retreat is moving away from the bumper in motion from right to left on the screen. AA follows the same angle. If the truck is facing west then TM is retreating southwest after shooting AA in the chest. Let’s assume AA’s motion from the right front headlight on is at a 45 degree angle from the centerline of the road. Headed southwest. AA begsn the swerve from 2.5 feet to the right of the truck and laws of physics and human anatomy do not allow AA to run up to the bumper and make a oerfect 90 turn to be running parallel with the bumper a couple feet west. We would see his foot and ankle not upper bidyshadows right here.

So there was no hard left 90 from AA to get to TM AT 3 ft West of the bumper too.
So it’s best to estimate distances when the men come across the centerline back into view.
Remember we are dealing with a distance based upon lines going to vanishing point.

TM’s foot is west more than 4 feet from the bumper. If the truck is 17 feet we know the distance from the front bumper to TM’s foot could be 17 feet as well because of the vanishing point optics like the poles in the graphic.
