Re: Open Record Request of December 24, 2024, Reference # R146768-122424
Dear Ivan LEE,
The City of Austin received a Public Information request from you on December 24, 2024, to request copies of records pertaining to the following: “To Whom It May Concern:

Pursuant to the Texas Public Information Act, I hereby request the following records:

Incident Date: May 11, 2022
Location: 1708 Maple Avenue, Austin, TX, USA
Offender: Caitlyn Armstrong
Victim: Mariah Wilson

I request access to all interrogation videos, including those involving the victim's acquaintances

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. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.

Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 10 business days, as the statute requires.

Sincerely,

Ivan LEE

Upload documents directly: https://www.muckrock.com/ The requested records cannot be released at this time due to criminal charges pending in Court under Cause D-1-DC-22-301129.  The Texas Public Information Act permits a law enforcement agency to withhold information pending to a criminal prosecution.  The Texas Attorney General routinely rules that the Police Department may withhold reports if release would hamper the successful prosecution of the related case. Because release would hamper the pending prosecution, the Police Department cannot release the requested report at this time.
The Texas Attorney General's Office has issued a ruling NO. OR2022-23943 for the case concerning your request.  The AG ruling was issued for this case in 2022, which is still applicable.
