OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :
Seyedeh Mandana Moeini was on her way to work when a Galveston sergeant speeding to a call crashed into her, killing her. It is unknown whether the call had been urgent or not. When asked, police said they “did not know” whether the officer had his lights and sirens activated and police never gave feedback to media answering this question, making it seemingly likely that these precautions may not have been in place. Additionally, a neighbor who witnesses the loud noise of the crash said she was surprised that she heard no sirens before impact and realized that police had caused the crash without apparent warning. Sgt. McNeil was wearing a body camera but at the time of this update, more than a month after the crash, there is still no record of police having released the footage. Galveston PD owes both the family and the public some answers about this death.
