On or about August 24, 2020 Marcus Harper, was a supervisor in Tulsa PD's Major Crimes Unit (known also as the homicide division) and Carson Ananias (Riverside Division) were called by Latoya Dythe after a shooting near 61st and Peoria involving Edward Townsell and Jonathan Jones (brother to Dythe's boyfriend Devon Jones). According to an affidavit, Jonathan Jones was at Dythe's home with the weapon used in the shooting when the two officers arrived. Harper and Ananias looked at the damage to Dythe's car from the shooting and met with her, her boyfriend, Devon Jones, and his brother Jonathan. Knowing of Jone's involvement, they advised Dythe to not tell anyone they had come by, and did not report the crime. Documents state that Harper and Ananias told Devon and Jonathan Jones to get rid of the guns and leave town.

Oklahoma Open Records Act

Title 51 Oklahoma Statutes § 24A.1 et seq.

The Oklahoma Open Records Act is a series of laws designed to guarantee that public has access to all public records of governmental bodies. Section 24A.2 defines records as "all documents, including, but not limited to, any book, paper, photograph, microfilm, data files created by or used with computer software, computer tape, disk, and record, sound recording, film recording, video record or other material regardless of physical form or characteristic, created by, received by, under the authority of, or coming into the custody, control or possession of public officials, public bodies, or their representatives in connection with the transaction of public business, the expenditure of public funds or the administering of public property." This specifically includes all records of the transfer of public funds.

According to the Oklahoma Open Records Act, anyone may request public records and no statement of purpose is required. However, if the purpose is commercial, fees will be charged for document collection. There is no restriction on the use of records and the law does not specify a time limit for responses to requests.
