Dear Newark City,

Please accept this electronic request for public records made under OPRA and the common law right of access. I am not required to fill out an official form or use a particular software platform to submit my request per NJSA 47:1A-5(f), which states that an email from a requestor including all of the information required on the adopted form shall suffice in place of a completed form as a valid government record request.

I HAVE NOT been convicted of any indictable offense under the laws of New Jersey, any other state, or the United States.

I WILL NOT use the requested government records for a commercial purpose.

I AM NOT seeking records in connection with a legal proceeding.

Records requested:

Under the New Jersey Open Public Records Act, I am requesting the initial police incident report, responding officers' narrative summaries, crime scene logs, and dispatch records regarding a domestic shooting incident that occurred on the morning of Tuesday, February 16, 1999.Location: An apartment building on Delavan Avenue, near Lincoln Avenue, Newark, NJ (2nd Precinct jurisdiction).Dispatch Timestamp: The initial 911 dispatch log was initiated at exactly 9:34 a.m.Victim: Veronica Quinones (Age 26 at the time), who survived the shooting.Suspect: Mario Bayez (also known as Felix Martinez or Salvador Bayez).Following the shooting, the suspect fled the state, triggering a multi-jurisdictional dragnet involving Newark police, NJ Transit, and the Port Authority. I am requesting the public factual response narratives and basic precinct logs. I understand that private personal medical information or victim-identifying records will be redacted in accordance with the law.

My preferred delivery method for response(s) to this request is by E-mail as attachments. Please confirm you have received this request. If you are not the custodian of records, please forward my request to that person and provide their email address to me for future reference.
