SAVANNAH, Ga. (WTOC) - A driver faces upgraded charges in the death of pedestrian who was killed during a high-speed police chase.
WTOC has confirmed a Chatham County grand jury has indicted 37-year-old Kenneth Wright on a felony murder charge. The first-degree felony is one of several charges listed in the indictment.
He’s accused of striking and killing 56-year-old Stephen Milton on June 16 at Martin Luther King Jr Boulevard near 37th Street.
