TARRANT COUNTY – A Fort Worth police officer who crashed into an innocent driver during a high-speed chase in July 2023 will not face criminal charges, a Tarrant County grand jury decided. The officer was pursuing a stolen car in South Fort Worth when he collided with 57-year-old Andre Craig, who was killed in the crash.
Craig’s family expressed disappointment with the grand jury’s decision.
“I think my initial reaction is just disappointment, but also not surprised. In some ways, I’ve become numb to the indifference,” said Nefertari Mundy, Craig’s sister.
Craig, who had the green light according to witnesses, was running an errand when the collision occurred at the intersection of Rosedale Street and Evans Avenue. The chase reached speeds of 100 mph on Evans Avenue, according to police records. The posted speed limit in the area is 30 mph.
For over a year, Craig’s family has sought answers from the Fort Worth Police Department about whether the officer followed department chase policy and if he will be held accountable. A police spokesperson said the officer, a 20-year veteran, has returned to normal duty while the internal investigation continues. The department has not provided a timeline for the completion of its internal investigation.
