Local leaders met with representatives from the South Asian community in Seattle on Saturday to discuss the death of 23-year-old Jaahnavi Kandula, who was struck and killed by a Seattle Police Department (SPD) officer in January. The meeting was held days after the controversial comments of another Seattle officer about Kandula’s death, recorded on body camera footage, were made public. The comments sparked immediate outrage, many calling for disciplinary action against the involved officer and expressing their disapproval.
