Open records summary :
A Seattle PD SUV driven by officer Kevin Austin Dave from Seattle PD hit and killed Ms. Kandula, a grad student in Seattle who had been crossing the street at a marked crossing. The officer was speeding at 74 mph in a 25 mph zone to a call as backup.Charges are being considered against the officer for his role in this avoidable death. He had apparently not activated his lights and siren when speeding. It is questionable whether the call he was on was urgent enough to warrant deadly speeds in one of the most crowded urban areas near downtown Seattle.
