Entering Search Criteria
Enter the name of the decedent in the format:
last name comma space first name space middle initial period (for example, Smith, John D.). The first
name and middle initial may be omitted to
accomplish a surname search. Searches are
not case sensitive: you may use any combination
of upper and lower case letters.
Keep in mind the following points when entering
search criteria:
- If you cannot find a person for whom you
believe there should be an entry in the homicide
record, use your browser's Find feature to
locate a homicide for which you have a specific
date.
- If you cannot find a person for whom you
believe there was an inquest, try broadening
your search by entering only a portion of
the surname (e.g.,
John
instead of
Johnson) or by typing variations of the spelling
of a surname (such as
Johnson
and
Johnsen).
