Once on scene, police found a man — who was later identified as Ghaly — in the passenger seat, injured. EMS and fire crews responded to his injuries but he died on scene.
Ghaly’s injuries were later determined to be consistent with assault, not a collision, police said in a news release Monday.
Forty-year-old Ian Whitford faces the charge for Ghaly’s death.
