The suspect was at the coffee shop at 8 PM.

"The suspect" is a singular subject (he or she), so we use the singular past tense form "was".

However, his two best friends were at the cinema during the robbery.

"Friends" is a plural subject (they), so we use the plural past tense form "were".

I was highly suspicious of his entire story!

The first-person singular pronoun "I" always takes "was" in the simple past tense.
