FORT WORTH – De Aujalae Evans, a 25-year-old woman, has been charged with intoxication manslaughter following a tragic incident that resulted in the death of Fort Worth police sergeant Billy Randolph. According to an arrest warrant, Evans admitted to consuming 10 shots of alcohol over a four-hour period prior to the fatal accident on August 12. The incident occurred around 2:30 a.m. on I-35W, where Evans struck Randolph while he was attending to a fuel spill outside his vehicle.

The timeline of her alcohol consumption, as stated in the documents, indicates that she drank the shots between 10 p.m. and 2 a.m., just before the accident. At the time of the incident, Evans was on probation for prior offenses, including aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. She is currently being held in Tarrant County Jail with a bond set at $750,000. The conditions of her bond include the use of a SCRAM alcohol monitor, an interlock device, and GPS tracking with home confinement. The case has drawn significant attention, highlighting the dangers of impaired driving and the tragic consequences that can arise from such actions.
