According to arrest warrants and other documents obtained by WMBF News, the Ingrams are facing charges related to a shooting incident that occurred in the Forestbrook area on February 26. The shocking events unfolded at the Marathon gas station on Belle Terre Boulevard, where a disturbing act of violence left the community reeling.
Terrifying Incident Unfolds at Local Gas Station
In a police report detailing the incident, an officer from the Horry County Police Department responded to the gas station after a panic alarm was triggered, only to discover empty shell casings scattered on the ground. The chilling scene was described by a victim and witness who recounted how the Ingrams entered the store before unleashing a barrage of gunfire in the parking lot.
The witness, who was refueling their vehicle at the time, witnessed a heated exchange between the suspects and individuals parked in front of the store, leading to a violent altercation that escalated into gunfire. The ensuing chaos resulted in multiple shots being fired, endangering innocent bystanders, including an infant.
Tragically, one person sustained a gunshot wound to their buttocks during the incident and required urgent medical attention. Additionally, another individual discovered their truck had been damaged, only to find a bullet hole through the front windshield and passenger side window, highlighting the reckless nature of the suspects’ actions.
Suspects Face Serious Charges
As of Friday morning, online records confirm that Antonio Ingram and Jalen Ingram are each charged with four counts of attempted murder and a weapons offense. The gravity of their alleged crimes has led to their incarceration at the J. Reuben Long Detention Center, where they await further legal proceedings with no bond set.
The swift action taken by law enforcement agencies has undoubtedly prevented further harm to the community, but the lasting impact of this harrowing incident lingers in the minds of Carolina Forest residents. WMBF News will continue to provide updates as this developing story unfolds.
