David Dewayne Mann, 43, of Tow was arrested Tuesday, Oct. 21, on a charge of criminally negligent homicide for his involvement in a 2024 traffic collision in Kyle that led to the death of another driver.
According to Kyle police, on June 6, 2024, Mann was driving a GMC Yukon on Interstate 35 through the city when he rear-ended a black Nissan driven by 52-year-old Timothy Wray. After the initial collision, both drivers then hit a Toyota pickup truck. Mann and Wray were taken to the hospital and treated for their injuries. Mann survived, but Wray died from wounds suffered in the crash.
After an investigation into the wreck, Kyle police submitted their findings to the 274th District Attorney’s Office. A grand jury later indicted Mann on a charge of criminally negligent homicide, leading to a warrant for his arrest.
Criminally negligent homicide is a Texas state jail felony punishable by 180 days to two years in jail and up to $10,000 in fines. The crime is committed when someone causes the death of another person because they failed to recognize the risks or dangers of their actions, which would have or could have been recognized by a “reasonable” person.
The case and investigation are ongoing, and the specific circumstances that led to the charge against Mann have not been publicly shared.
Mann was being held in the Hays County Jail on a $4,000 bond as of Thursday, Oct. 23.
