To Whom It May Concern:

Please consider this a Public Information Act request for case records dating from January 1, 2020, to the date this request is ultimately fulfilled. Please respond with the following information for each case:

- case number
- date of death
- race
- ethnicity
- age

The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes. In the event that there are fees, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request.
