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-6(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:
At 11 a.m. on 07/29/2025 members of the United States Marshals Service NY/NJ Regional Fugitive Task Force were assisting Newark police officers with executing an arrest warrant for attempted murder and other criminal charges … Law enforcement encountered the individual inside a home at 445 Irvine Turner Boulevard in the area of West Bigelow Street in Newark. The man began firing gunshots. Officers subsequently returned fire and the man was struck and wounded.

I am kindly requesting the following:
1.) All body cam and dash cam footage from all officers involved.
2.) Incident Report

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.

Yours faithfully,
Paper Man
