- Authorities allege the killing was driven by perceived dishonor tied to Ryan’s refusal to wear a headscarf, social media use, and contact with men.
- Evidence cited includes a bound and submerged body, signs of strangulation and drowning, intercepted chats, and Khaled’s DNA under her fingernails.
