Death of John Wayne Tucker (Metropolitan Police Department)

To Whom It May Concern:

Pursuant to the District of Columbia Freedom of Information Act of 1974, D.C. Code Ann. § 2-531 et seq. ("D.C. Act"), I hereby request the following records:

Any and all records pertaining to the investigation into an assault by and subsequent death of one John Wayne Tucker on (or around) August 25th 1989, to include 911 calls related to this incident, all documentation produced by responding officers, coroner's report, et al

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 15 business days, as the statute requires.

Sincerely,

Harun Krasna

Sgt. Thomas,

Thank you very much for your attention to this matter. While it is outside the scope of my initial request, could you recommend any further resources or other DC agencies who could help in verifying such a death? I am not searching for a formal death certificate, since these are unavailable to anyone except family members for half a century, just some idea of what happened or where Mr. Tucker may be buried.
