DALLAS — Dallas Police Association President Jaime Castro has been placed on administrative leave from the Dallas Police Department.
Sources say DPD investigators turned a case over to the District Attorney's office for a grand jury review.
Sources say it involves a fatal crash from March in which Castro says he was a passenger in a vehicle that was driven by his girlfriend.
The administrative action comes after the department’s public integrity unit investigated.
The crash happened around 10 p.m. on March 15 in the 2500 block of Northwest Highway — a stretch described by sources as poorly lit and without crosswalks. Atianna Washington was struck while crossing the roadway and later died at the hospital.
Two Dallas police officers who responded to the crash remain on administrative
