Jaahnavi Kandula Death Case

Jaahnavi Kandula, a native of the Kurnool district in Andhra Pradesh, died on January 23, 2023, in Seattle, US

Kandula, the Indian student, died after being struck by a Seattle police patrol vehicle in South Lake Union in the US

The 23-year-old girl was crossing the road when she was hit by a speeding car driven by Seattle officer Kevin Dave

The cop was driving at 74 mph on the way to a report of a drug overdose call

Kandula was thrown 100 feet when she was struck by the speeding police patrol vehicle

In bodycam footage released by the Seattle Police Department, Officer Daniel Auderer laughed about the deadly crash

Auderer dismissed any implication that Dave might be at fault or that a criminal investigation was necessary

The King County Prosecutor’s Office said that they will not move forward with criminal charges against Dave due to 'lack of evidence'

In a statement, the King County Prosecuting Attorney said, 'Kandula’s death is heartbreaking and has impacted communities in King County and across the world'
