Family Seeks Justice a Year After Tragic Crash Involving Off-Duty Dallas Officer
DALLAS – A year after the tragic crash that took the life of Aquazia Kennedy and left her daughter Sky’Lynn battling for survival, the Kennedy family is still seeking justice and answers.
On Jan. 6, Aquazia Kennedy, 33 weeks pregnant at the time, was riding in the backseat of a Chevrolet Malibu that stalled in the middle lane on I-30 at 2nd Avenue. An off-duty Dallas Police officer crashed his Jeep Wrangler into the back of the car, resulting in Aquazia’s tragic death. Despite the loss, Aquazia’s daughter Sky’Lynn miraculously survived the crash, celebrating her first birthday at a recent vigil for her late mother.
The Kennedy family, along with loved ones, gathered outside Dallas Police Headquarters to pray and demand accountability. Aquazia’s aunt, Davida Kennedy, fervently expressed their desire for the truth to come to light, saying, “I pray that you put the right people in our path Lord, so we can understand what happened that night, Lord.”
A Heartbreaking Anniversary
Aquazia’s father, Quincy Kennedy, highlighted the devastating impact of the crash on their family, emphasizing the need for justice for his daughter who can no longer speak for herself. The family shared their frustration over the lack of communication from the Dallas County Sheriff’s Office and District Attorney’s Office regarding the accident.
Seeking Answers

A Continued Battle
