Tragedy on I-35: How a Wrong-Way DUI Crash Took the Life of Fort Worth Police Sergeant Billy Randolph

The Incident That Shook Fort Worth

It was an early morning in August 2024 when Fort Worth Police Sergeant Billy Randolph’s life ended in a violent collision that no one should ever have to experience. Sergeant Randolph, a 29-year veteran of the Fort Worth Police Department, was standing outside his patrol vehicle on I-35 South near Sycamore School Road, investigating an earlier crash involving a tractor-trailer that had hit a guardrail, caught fire, and spilled fuel. What happened next was a preventable tragedy that would leave a community in mourning and a family shattered.

A 2020 Nissan Versa, driven by De Aujalae Evans, came barreling down the highway in the wrong direction. Evans didn’t stop. She didn’t slow down. She drove straight through the accident scene Sergeant Randolph was working, striking him with devastating force. The impact was catastrophic. But the horror didn’t end there. After hitting Sergeant Randolph, Evans kept driving, attempting to flee the scene. She drove about a quarter of a mile before stopping—and then tried to run away. Officers were able to take her into custody, but the damage was done.

This wasn’t just an accident. It was a crime. And it was entirely preventable.

The Aftermath: A Community in Mourning

The loss of Sergeant Billy Randolph sent shockwaves through the Fort Worth community. Colleagues, friends, and community members came together to honor a man who had dedicated nearly three decades of his life to serving and protecting.

Beronica Fullbright, who worked with Sergeant Randolph for nine years, shared her heartbreak with local media. “I saw another friend posted, and it said ‘Sgt. Billy Randolph.’ I jumped out of bed, ran into the living room, and started crying to my husband and said, ‘Billy was killed this morning,’” Fullbright recalled. “He’s a good supervisor. He loved his friends and family and the community. He had a huge heart. He’s so humble. He’s funny. He’s a friend anybody could ask for.”

Javier Alvaran, a witness who placed a flag on Sergeant Randolph’s vehicle as part of a memorial, spoke about the senselessness of the tragedy. “This man was out here in the morning providing a service for the community. He doesn’t have to be out there risking his life,” Alvaran said.

The Fort Worth Police Department lined the streets outside the hospital for a processional, and a funeral was held where more tributes were shared. But no amount of tributes can bring back a man who was taken too soon—or heal the pain of a family left behind.

The Driver: A History of Dangerous Behavior

De Aujalae Evans, the driver responsible for Sergeant Randolph’s death, was no stranger to the criminal justice system. At the time of the crash, Evans was on probation after pleading guilty to aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. This wasn’t just a momentary lapse in judgment. It was part of a pattern.

After her arrest, Evans admitted to drinking 10 shots over the course of four hours prior to getting behind the wheel. She failed a field sobriety test, confirming what was already painfully obvious: she was driving under the influence. The fact that she was on probation at the time of the crash only underscores how little regard she had for the law—and for the safety of others.

On March 26, 2026, Evans pleaded guilty to intoxication manslaughter, just hours after her trial began. She faces up to 20 years in prison. But no sentence can undo the damage she caused. No punishment can bring back Sergeant Randolph or ease the suffering of his family.

At Attorney911, we’ve seen far too many cases like this one. A preventable tragedy. A life cut short. A family left to pick up the pieces. And all too often, the person responsible has a history that should have kept them off the road.

This case raises serious questions about accountability—not just for Evans, but for the systems that allowed her to be in a position to cause this kind of devastation. How was someone with a history of aggravated assault and a probation violation allowed to drive under the influence? Why wasn’t her probation being more closely monitored? These are questions that demand answers.

But from a legal perspective, this case also highlights the importance of holding all responsible parties accountable. While Evans is the one who pleaded guilty, there may be other entities that bear some responsibility for this tragedy. For example:

  • The establishment that served Evans alcohol: Texas has dram shop laws that can hold bars, restaurants, and other establishments liable if they serve alcohol to someone who is clearly intoxicated.
  • Probation oversight: If Evans was on probation and her violations weren’t being properly monitored, there may be grounds for legal action against the probation department or the state.
  • Vehicle manufacturers: While this doesn’t appear to be a factor in this specific case, in other wrong-way accidents, vehicle design flaws (such as confusing dashboard displays) have been cited as contributing factors.

Our managing partner, Ralph Manginello, has spent over 25 years fighting for victims of negligence. He’s seen firsthand how cases like this unfold—and how important it is to leave no stone unturned when seeking justice. “When a tragedy like this occurs, it’s not enough to just hold the driver accountable,” Ralph explains. “We need to look at the bigger picture. What systems failed? What safeguards weren’t in place? Who else bears responsibility for this preventable loss of life?”

The Science of Wrong-Way Driving: Why It’s So Deadly

Wrong-way driving accidents are among the most dangerous types of crashes on our highways. According to the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), wrong-way crashes are:

  • 27 times more likely to result in a fatality than other types of accidents
  • Most common on weekends and at night, when visibility is reduced and alcohol impairment is more likely
  • Often involve head-on collisions, which are among the most severe types of crashes

The physics of a wrong-way crash are devastating. When two vehicles are traveling toward each other at highway speeds, the force of impact is exponentially greater than in a typical rear-end or side-impact collision. For example, if two vehicles are each traveling at 65 mph and collide head-on, the effective impact speed is 130 mph. This is why wrong-way crashes are so often fatal.

Common Causes of Wrong-Way Driving

While alcohol impairment is the leading cause of wrong-way driving accidents (accounting for approximately 60% of cases), other factors include:

  1. Driver Confusion: Poor signage, confusing interchange designs, or lack of proper lighting can lead drivers to enter highways in the wrong direction.
  2. Distraction: Drivers who are texting, adjusting GPS systems, or otherwise distracted may miss critical signs or signals.
  3. Fatigue: Drowsy drivers may become disoriented and enter highways incorrectly.
  4. Medical Emergencies: Conditions like heart attacks, strokes, or seizures can cause drivers to lose control and enter opposing lanes.
  5. Age-Related Factors: Older drivers may have difficulty reading signs or navigating complex interchanges.
  6. Drug Impairment: Both illegal drugs and certain prescription medications can impair judgment and spatial awareness.

In Sergeant Randolph’s case, alcohol impairment was clearly the primary factor. But this tragedy also raises questions about highway design and signage on I-35 in Fort Worth. Could better signage or physical barriers have prevented this accident? These are questions that transportation engineers and safety advocates need to address.

The Role of Alcohol in Fatal Crashes: A Preventable Epidemic

Alcohol impairment remains one of the most persistent and preventable causes of traffic fatalities in the United States. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA):

  • 28% of all traffic-related deaths involve an alcohol-impaired driver
  • In 2022, 13,524 people died in alcohol-impaired driving crashes
  • On average, one alcohol-related fatality occurs every 39 minutes in the U.S.

The legal blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit for drivers in Texas is 0.08%. However, impairment begins at much lower levels. At a BAC of 0.02%, drivers may experience some loss of judgment, relaxation, and altered mood. By 0.05%, coordination, ability to track moving objects, and response to emergency driving situations are impaired. At 0.08%, muscle coordination becomes poor, and judgment, self-control, reasoning, and memory are impaired.

Evans admitted to consuming 10 shots over four hours before the crash. While we don’t know her exact BAC at the time of the accident, it’s safe to assume it was well above the legal limit. This level of impairment would have made it nearly impossible for her to safely operate a vehicle.

Texas has some of the strictest drunk driving laws in the country. For a first offense, penalties can include:

  • Up to 180 days in jail
  • Fines up to $2,000
  • License suspension for up to 1 year
  • Annual surcharges of $1,000-$2,000 for 3 years to retain driver’s license

For intoxication manslaughter (which is what Evans was charged with), the penalties are much more severe:

  • 2 to 20 years in prison
  • Fines up to $10,000
  • License suspension for 180 days to 2 years
  • Community service requirements

In addition to criminal penalties, drunk drivers can also face civil lawsuits from victims or their families. These lawsuits can result in significant financial judgments that can follow the driver for years.

The Impact on First Responders: A Growing Crisis

Sergeant Randolph’s death is a stark reminder of the dangers that first responders face every day. According to the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund:

  • In 2023, 282 law enforcement officers died in the line of duty in the United States
  • Traffic-related incidents were the leading cause of officer fatalities, accounting for 45% of all line-of-duty deaths
  • Struck-by incidents (like the one that killed Sergeant Randolph) are a growing concern, with 50 officers killed in such incidents in 2023

First responders put their lives on the line to protect others. When they’re killed in the line of duty, it’s not just a personal tragedy—it’s a loss for the entire community. These men and women deserve our respect, our support, and our commitment to making our roads safer for everyone.

When a loved one is killed due to someone else’s negligence, the surviving family members have legal rights. In Texas, the family of a wrongful death victim can pursue a civil lawsuit against the responsible parties. This is separate from any criminal charges and can provide compensation for:

  • Lost income and financial support the deceased would have provided
  • Loss of companionship, love, and guidance
  • Mental anguish and emotional suffering
  • Funeral and burial expenses
  • Medical expenses incurred prior to death
  • Punitive damages in cases of gross negligence or willful misconduct

It’s important to note that wrongful death claims have a statute of limitations. In Texas, the family generally has two years from the date of death to file a lawsuit. However, it’s crucial to begin the legal process as soon as possible to preserve evidence and protect your rights.

At Attorney911, we’ve helped countless families navigate the complex legal landscape after a wrongful death. Our managing partner, Ralph Manginello, understands the emotional toll these cases take on families. “When we take on a wrongful death case, we’re not just fighting for compensation,” Ralph explains. “We’re fighting for justice. We’re fighting to hold the responsible parties accountable. And we’re fighting to make sure that what happened to your loved one never happens to anyone else.”

The Importance of Evidence Preservation in Trucking and DUI Cases

One of the most critical aspects of any personal injury or wrongful death case is preserving evidence. This is especially true in cases involving commercial vehicles or DUI accidents. At Attorney911, we have a 48-hour evidence preservation protocol that we activate immediately when we’re retained on a case.

In this incident, several types of evidence would be crucial:

  1. Electronic Data: The Nissan Versa involved in the crash likely had an Event Data Recorder (EDR), similar to a “black box” in commercial trucks. This device records critical data such as speed, braking, and throttle position in the moments before a crash.

  2. Toxicology Reports: These would confirm Evans’ level of impairment at the time of the crash.

  3. Surveillance Footage: Nearby businesses or traffic cameras may have captured the crash or Evans’ erratic driving prior to the accident.

  4. Cell Phone Records: These could show whether Evans was distracted by her phone at the time of the crash.

  5. Probation Records: These could reveal whether Evans was properly supervised and whether her probation violations were adequately addressed.

  6. Establishment Records: If Evans was served alcohol at a bar or restaurant prior to the crash, records from that establishment could be crucial in a dram shop claim.

Ralph Manginello emphasizes the importance of acting quickly: “Evidence disappears fast. Surveillance footage gets overwritten. Electronic data can be lost. Witnesses’ memories fade. That’s why we send spoliation letters immediately when we’re retained on a case. We put the responsible parties on notice that they must preserve all evidence related to the incident.”

The Role of FMCSA Regulations in Preventing Tragedy

While this particular incident didn’t involve a commercial truck, it’s important to understand how Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) regulations play a role in preventing similar tragedies. These regulations are designed to ensure the safety of our highways, and when they’re violated, the consequences can be devastating.

Hours of Service Regulations (49 CFR Part 395)

One of the most critical sets of FMCSA regulations is the Hours of Service (HOS) rules, which limit how long commercial drivers can operate their vehicles. These rules are designed to prevent driver fatigue, which is a major factor in trucking accidents.

Key HOS regulations include:

  • 11-Hour Driving Limit: Drivers may drive a maximum of 11 hours after 10 consecutive hours off duty.
  • 14-Hour Duty Window: Drivers may not drive beyond the 14th consecutive hour after coming on duty.
  • 30-Minute Break Requirement: Drivers must take a 30-minute break after 8 cumulative hours of driving.
  • 60/70-Hour Limit: Drivers may not drive after 60 hours on duty in 7 consecutive days or 70 hours in 8 consecutive days.
  • 34-Hour Restart: Drivers can reset their 60/70-hour clock by taking 34 consecutive hours off duty.

While these regulations apply to commercial drivers, they highlight an important principle: fatigue kills. Evans’ decision to drive after consuming 10 shots of alcohol is a stark reminder of how dangerous impaired driving can be.

Driver Qualification Standards (49 CFR Part 391)

FMCSA regulations also set strict standards for who can operate a commercial motor vehicle. These include:

  • Minimum Age Requirements: Drivers must be at least 21 years old to operate in interstate commerce.
  • Medical Certification: Drivers must pass a physical exam and obtain a medical certificate.
  • Driver Qualification File: Motor carriers must maintain a file for each driver containing their employment application, driving record, medical certificate, and other important documents.

While these regulations don’t apply to passenger vehicles, they underscore the importance of proper driver screening and qualification. In Evans’ case, her history of aggravated assault and probation violations should have raised red flags about her fitness to drive.

Vehicle Inspection and Maintenance (49 CFR Part 396)

FMCSA regulations require regular inspection and maintenance of commercial vehicles. Drivers must conduct pre-trip and post-trip inspections, and motor carriers must maintain records of these inspections.

While these regulations don’t apply to passenger vehicles, they highlight the importance of vehicle maintenance in preventing accidents. In this case, if Evans’ vehicle had mechanical issues that contributed to the crash, those could be important factors in determining liability.

The Broader Issue: Wrong-Way Driving on Texas Highways

While this tragedy occurred on I-35 in Fort Worth, wrong-way driving is a problem that affects highways across Texas. According to the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT):

  • Between 2018 and 2022, there were 1,636 wrong-way crashes on Texas highways
  • These crashes resulted in 372 fatalities and 562 serious injuries
  • Alcohol was a factor in 62% of fatal wrong-way crashes

I-35, which runs through the heart of Texas from Laredo to the Oklahoma border, is one of the most dangerous highways in the state. In 2022 alone, there were 16,831 crashes on I-35 in Texas, resulting in 112 fatalities and 435 serious injuries.

Preventing Wrong-Way Driving: What Can Be Done?

There are several strategies that can help prevent wrong-way driving accidents:

  1. Improved Signage: Clearer, more visible “WRONG WAY” and “DO NOT ENTER” signs can help alert drivers who are entering highways incorrectly.

  2. Physical Barriers: Installing barriers or one-way gates at exit ramps can physically prevent drivers from entering highways in the wrong direction.

  3. Advanced Warning Systems: Some states have implemented systems that detect wrong-way drivers and alert law enforcement and other drivers.

  4. Better Lighting: Improved lighting at interchanges can help drivers see signs and road markings more clearly.

  5. Public Awareness Campaigns: Educating the public about the dangers of wrong-way driving and how to avoid it can help prevent these accidents.

  6. Ignition Interlock Devices: For repeat DUI offenders, ignition interlock devices can prevent them from operating a vehicle while impaired.

  7. Stricter DUI Enforcement: Increased patrols and sobriety checkpoints can help deter drunk driving.

At Attorney911, we believe that preventing these tragedies should be a top priority. Ralph Manginello has seen the devastating consequences of wrong-way crashes firsthand. “Every wrong-way crash is preventable,” Ralph says. “We need to do more to keep impaired drivers off the road and to make our highways safer for everyone.”

With Evans’ guilty plea to intoxication manslaughter, the criminal case against her is moving to the sentencing phase. She faces up to 20 years in prison. But for Sergeant Randolph’s family, the legal process may be far from over.

Civil Lawsuit Possibilities

In addition to the criminal case, the Randolph family may have grounds for a civil wrongful death lawsuit. Potential defendants could include:

  1. De Aujalae Evans: As the driver responsible for the crash, Evans could be held civilly liable for Sergeant Randolph’s death.

  2. The Establishment That Served Evans Alcohol: Under Texas dram shop laws, bars, restaurants, and other establishments can be held liable if they serve alcohol to someone who is clearly intoxicated.

  3. The Probation Department: If Evans’ probation was not properly supervised, there may be grounds for legal action against the probation department or the state.

  4. The Vehicle Manufacturer: While this doesn’t appear to be a factor in this case, in other wrong-way accidents, vehicle design flaws have been cited as contributing factors.

The Challenges of Wrongful Death Cases

Wrongful death cases are among the most complex and emotionally challenging types of personal injury cases. They require a deep understanding of both the law and the human impact of loss. Some of the challenges include:

  1. Proving Negligence: In a wrongful death case, the plaintiff must prove that the defendant’s negligence caused the death. This can be challenging, especially in cases where multiple factors contributed to the accident.

  2. Calculating Damages: Determining the value of a human life is complex. It involves calculating lost income, loss of companionship, and other intangible factors.

  3. Dealing with Insurance Companies: Insurance companies often try to minimize payouts in wrongful death cases. They may argue that the deceased was partially at fault or that the damages claimed are excessive.

  4. Emotional Toll: Wrongful death cases can be emotionally draining for the surviving family members. They often involve reliving the details of the accident and the loss of a loved one.

At Attorney911, we understand these challenges. Our team includes experienced wrongful death attorneys who know how to navigate the legal system while providing compassionate support to grieving families. Ralph Manginello has handled numerous wrongful death cases throughout his 25+ year career. “When we take on a wrongful death case, we’re not just fighting for compensation,” Ralph explains. “We’re fighting for justice. We’re fighting to hold the responsible parties accountable. And we’re fighting to make sure that what happened to your loved one never happens to anyone else.”

The Bigger Picture: Holding Systems Accountable

While Evans bears primary responsibility for this tragedy, it’s important to look at the bigger picture. What systems failed? What safeguards weren’t in place? Who else bears responsibility for this preventable loss of life?

The Role of Probation Oversight

Evans was on probation at the time of the crash after pleading guilty to aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. This raises serious questions about the effectiveness of her probation supervision. Some questions that need to be asked include:

  • Was Evans’ probation being properly monitored?
  • Were her probation violations being adequately addressed?
  • Should she have been allowed to drive while on probation?
  • Were there any red flags in her behavior that should have triggered additional supervision?

If the probation department failed to properly supervise Evans, there may be grounds for legal action against the state.

The Role of Alcohol Servers

Evans admitted to drinking 10 shots over the course of four hours prior to the crash. This raises questions about where she was drinking and whether the establishment that served her alcohol bears any responsibility.

Texas has dram shop laws that can hold bars, restaurants, and other establishments liable if they serve alcohol to someone who is clearly intoxicated. To prove a dram shop claim, the plaintiff must show that:

  1. The establishment served alcohol to a patron who was obviously intoxicated to the point that they presented a clear danger to themselves and others.
  2. The intoxication of the patron was a proximate cause of the damages suffered.

If Evans was served alcohol at an establishment while she was already intoxicated, that establishment could be held liable for Sergeant Randolph’s death.

The Role of Highway Design

While alcohol impairment was clearly the primary factor in this crash, it’s worth examining whether highway design played any role. Some questions to consider include:

  • Was the signage on I-35 near Sycamore School Road adequate?
  • Were there any design features that could have prevented Evans from entering the highway in the wrong direction?
  • Were there any physical barriers or other safety features that could have prevented this tragedy?

While these factors may not have been the primary cause of the crash, they could have contributed to the severity of the incident.

While the legal and financial aspects of this case are important, it’s crucial not to lose sight of the human cost. Sergeant Billy Randolph was more than just a statistic. He was a husband, a father, a friend, and a dedicated public servant.

The impact of his death extends far beyond his immediate family. It affects his colleagues at the Fort Worth Police Department, who lost a respected leader and mentor. It affects the community he served, which lost a dedicated public servant. And it affects all of us, as we’re reminded of the dangers that first responders face every day.

At Attorney911, we’ve seen firsthand the devastating impact that wrongful death can have on families. Ralph Manginello has worked with countless families who have lost loved ones due to negligence. “When we take on a wrongful death case, we’re not just dealing with legal issues,” Ralph explains. “We’re dealing with real people who are suffering real pain. Our job is to help them find justice and to make sure that their loved one’s death wasn’t in vain.”

What This Case Means for Fort Worth and Beyond

This tragedy is a stark reminder of the dangers that exist on our highways. It’s a call to action for all of us to do more to prevent similar incidents in the future. Some steps that can be taken include:

  1. Stricter DUI Enforcement: Increased patrols and sobriety checkpoints can help deter drunk driving.

  4. The Risks Faced by First Responders: This tragedy highlights the dangers that first responders face every day. We need to do more to protect these brave men and women.

Preventing Future Tragedies

There are several steps that can be taken to prevent similar tragedies in the future:

  1. Stricter DUI Penalties: While Texas already has strict DUI laws, increasing penalties for repeat offenders could help deter drunk driving.

  2. Ignition Interlock Devices: Requiring ignition interlock devices for all DUI offenders could prevent them from operating a vehicle while impaired.

  3. Improved Probation Supervision: Probation departments need more resources to effectively monitor high-risk offenders.

  4. Better Highway Design: Implementing better signage, physical barriers, and advanced warning systems could help prevent wrong-way driving accidents.

  5. Public Awareness Campaigns: Educating the public about the dangers of drunk driving and wrong-way driving can help prevent these accidents.

  6. Support for First Responders: We need to do more to protect the men and women who put their lives on the line to keep us safe.
