A man accused of intentionally crashing into a woman's unoccupied car before allegedly trying to run her and her neighbors over has been charged, according to officials with the Lehigh County District Attorney's Office.
55-year-old Rajgion Davis was arrested back in August following the incident and has remained in jail without bail, officials explained.
Davis is charged with criminal homicide, attempted murder and aggravated assault, officials said. A magisterial judge ordered that the charges can proceed to court.
He will be formally arraigned on Oct. 30, officials said.

On Friday, Aug. 9, investigators believe that Davis purposefully hit and killed a man with his car on the 1300 block of North 14th Street in Whitehall Township just after 6 p.m.
Eyewitnesses told police that they saw Davis pull into a parking lot before hitting an empty car that belonged to a woman, identified as Francesca Washington, and then driving off.
The people who saw the incident said Washington came out to look at the damage to her vehicle when she was joined by two of her neighbors, according to officials. This is when Davis returned and drove his car directly into the group.
