Description
The King County Prosecutor's Office said in a release on Wednesday no criminal charges will be filed against the Seattle police officer who struck and killed 23-year-old Jaahnavi Kandula in January 2023.
Kandula was struck and killed by Seattle officer Kevin Dave on Jan. 23, 2023, while she was in a crosswalk in Seattle's South Lake Union neighborhood.
Dave was responding to an emergency call and was in a 25-mile-per-hour zone at the time of the collision. Kandula had the right of way and was struck by the cruiser at approximately 63 miles per hour, according to a report released in June 2023.
King County Prosecuting Attorney Leesa Manion said her office walked through the report with Kandula's family on Wednesday morning. Prosecutors said they lacked sufficient evidence under Washington state law to file criminal charges against Dave.
