Luke Hill 2020 Attempted Murder case

To Whom It May Concern:

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

All available records related to the case of Luke Hill, who was charged with attempted murder in May 2020. Specifically, I seek incident and arrest reports, charging documents, court records (including indictments, motions, and judgments), interrogation recordings or transcripts, evidence logs, witness statements, and any available video footage (e.g., body cam, dash cam, or surveillance). Please also include communications between law enforcement and prosecutors regarding this case. If any records are exempt from disclosure, please provide a detailed explanation for each exemption.

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 calendar days, as the statute requires.

Sincerely,

Ore Adebanjo

Thank you for your response regarding my request, Sgt Zelaya. I appreciate the effort involved in gathering the records. If possible, I would like to request that any records be provided as they become available, rather than waiting until all records are compiled.

Please let me know if this is feasible or if you need further clarification.

Thank you for your time and assistance.

Hi Sgt. Zelaya,

Thank you for the update. I appreciate your time in processing this request. Please let me know once the cost estimate is available, and I’ll proceed accordingly.

Best,

Hi Sgt. Zelaya,

I wanted to follow up on my request from last month. I understand you were waiting on the case file—has there been any progress on that? I’d appreciate any updates on the timeline and next steps when you have them.

Thanks for your time!

Best,

Dear Sgt. Zelaya,

I appreciate your time in reviewing my MPIA request. I understand that processing these requests requires significant effort, and I want to ensure mine is both reasonable and beneficial to the public.

My work focuses on highlighting real-world cases involving student-athletes to provide a learning tool for young players, parents, and coaches on the consequences of decision-making off the field. This request is not for commercial purposes but rather serves to inform and educate those invested in the development of young athletes.

Given that the Maryland Public Information Act allows for fee reductions when disclosure serves the public interest, I’d like to respectfully request a waiver or reduction of the fees associated with this request. If a full waiver isn’t possible, I’d be open to adjusting the scope of my request to minimize the cost while still obtaining the most essential information.

Please let me know if there’s any flexibility on this, or if there are modifications I can make to help facilitate the process. I truly appreciate your consideration and your time in handling this request.

Best,
Ore Adebanjo

Dear Sgt. Zelaya,

I hope all is well.

I’m following up on MPIA Request #M25-0033 regarding the Luke Hill case. A check for the $475 fee was sent earlier this month, and tracking indicates it was processed for delivery on March 12th. However, I noticed it hasn’t been deposited yet.

I just wanted to confirm whether it’s been received on your end, and if there’s any update on the processing timeline. Please let me know if there’s anything further needed from me at this time.

Thanks again for your time and assistance.

Best,
Ore Adebanjo
