Seattle settles $29M lawsuit with family of Jaahnavi Kandula, a 23-year-old grad student killed by a speeding officer in 2023.
Seattle has settled a $29 million lawsuit with the family of Jaahnavi Kandula, a 23-year-old Indian graduate student killed in 2023 when a police officer, driving up to 74 mph in a 25 mph zone with sirens and lights on, struck her while she crossed the street.
The officer was fired and fined $5,000 for negligent driving, but no criminal charges were filed due to lack of intent evidence.
Public outrage followed the release of a body-camera video showing another officer making disparaging remarks about Kandula’s life, leading to his firing and a lawsuit against the city.
The settlement, mostly covered by insurance, aims to bring closure and affirm the value of her life.
