William Ingram violated the most fundamental symbol of existence; mother, by murdering his in 2024. And he will pay by spending at least the next at least 30 years and up to 60 years caged like an animal in state prison.
Ingram was sentenced on Wednesday, Feb. 18, 2026, to 30 to 64 years in state prison for the June 2024 killing of his mother, 82-year-old Dolores Ingram, inside their Holland condominium.
Common Pleas Judge Stephen A. Corr handed down the sentence to Ingram after Deputy District Attorney Monica Furber argued for a sentence in the aggravated range the Bucks County District Attorney’s office said in a release.
Furber, authorities said, further requested that the counts be served consecutively, a request Judge Corr granted, citing the gravity of the crimes. During the hearing, Furber noted that the victim had dedicated a substantial part of her life to caring for the defendant. “Despite the care she gave him throughout his life, he repaid her by killing her,” Furber stated.
The investigation was launched on June 15, 2024, when Northampton Township police officers conducted a welfare check at a residence on Beacon Hill Drive. The check was requested by the Metropolitan Police Department of the District of Columbia (MPDC) after Ingram was taken into custody in Washington, D.C., for assaulting an officer and damaging a police vehicle. While in MPDC custody, Ingram confessed to killing his mother.
Northampton Township police officers responded to the address. From the outside of the first-floor condo, they observed blood on a windowsill and more blood smeared on the walls, window, and floor inside. The furniture inside appeared in disarray.
The victim’s two daughters, said prosecutors, provided emotional impact statements, describing a woman who was a “kind, generous person” who “showed her love by being there for those around her.” One daughter told the court there were no words to fully describe the magnitude of the loss, while the other shared the personal toll of the tragedy, stating, “I’ve had nightmares about her last moments.”
