DECLARATION OF MARQUITA OGLESBY

I, Marquita Oglesby, make the following statements on behalf of the Hill family, and upon

personal knowledge:

1. Our father, Michael Hill, was killed on March 27th, 2023 at The Covenant School.

We are asking that the writings of the shooter not be released to anyone for whatever self-serving,

gratifying purpose they feel they may gain from viewing any of these products.

2. It has been difficult to think of past shared stories, accomplishments, experiences,

and secrets without thinking about the savage way our father was murdered. This tragedy has spun

our lives into turmoil, loneliness, anger, and anxiety. Every monumental moment in the future will

now have a sense of emptiness and sadness.

3. It sickens us to have to write a letter to explain why someone who chose to be

voiceless does not deserve to be heard. The most devastating part of this is that the memories of

1
the six lives lost have been diminished and minimized while every thought, drawing, doodle, and

action of the shooter is made more relevant by every person who wants to decipher them.

To the best of my knowledge, information, and belief, I declare under the penalty of perjury

that the foregoing is true and correct.

Executed this 20th day of June, 2023.
