Dear Honorable Mayor John Cranley,

I cannot even express the gratitude i feel towards you and the city who have done so much for my
family during this dif?cult time.

It has been already over 6 weeks since my husband passed. The experience brought my children and
I an enormous amount agonizing grief. However, we are moving forward toward a new normal as we
get through each day.

The reason for my letter is that was alerted that a handful of individuals are demanding the video
coverage of Sonny?s tragic death.

I am strongly opposed to the idea of having this video available to the public. It is very sad that there
are individuals who are taking this tragedy as if it is a spectating event that needs to be shared. I am
certain that those of you who have witnessed the video are in full agreement with me that there is
absolutely no value to the public in sharing this. The coverage does not contain any additional
information that the general public will bene?t from.

However for my kids. witnessing their father lying helplessly on the ground will only add to the
devastation that they have already felt. Sonny was their rock, strong and protective. They should not
have to see a broken image of their father like that. This video clip will not add value to anyone. but
instead add an even greater amount of pain.

For that reason, I am pleading that you use all of your power to support me and take strong measures
of action to prevent this video from going out to the public. I believe that you are with me and would
do the best in your ability to not disclose this video.

i would greatly appreciate your support for this matter.

Sincerely,

Mum

Jessica Kim
