Officer Kevin Dave hit and killed Kandula with his police cruiser while the 23-year-old student was crossing the street in a marked crosswalk on Jan. 23, 2023.

Dave was driving 74 miles an hour without continuously running his siren while responding to a drug overdose call, on a street with a speed limit of 25 miles an hour.

Months later, footage was released of Seattle Police Officers Guild Vice President Daniel Auderer joking about Kandula’s death over the phone with SPOG President Mike Solan.

In that recording, Auderer can be heard laughing as he referred to Kandula as “a regular person,” going on to say, “Just write a check – $11,000, she was 26 anyway, she had limited value.”

    Don’t look then…too bad we can’t ask ol girl how it worked out for her huh? Have you ever heard how loud tires and engines are at that fast? Most likely she heard the car but brushed it off/wasn’t paying attention or assumed the driver was planning to stop. For the record if it’s not obvious in my first comment, the cop should be given a life sentence for what he did, BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY YOU ARE STILL DEAD/VEGGIE SO BE DUCKING CAREFUL, GOD DAMN!! lol
