Bucks County man admits to killing mother after assaulting police officer in Washington, D.C., officials say
NORTHAMPTON TOWNSHIP, Pa. (CBS) — A 49-year-old man admitted to killing his mother after he assaulted an officer in Washington D.C., the Bucks County District Attorney’s Office said on Monday.
The DA’s office said 49-year-old William Ingram was taken into custody in Washington for assaulting an officer and damaging a police vehicle and told several D.C. Metro officers he killed his mother, 82-year-old Dolores Ingram.
So far, William Ingram has only been charged with stealing his mother’s vehicle. More charges will be filed against him at the appropriate time, the DA’s office said. Officials are investigating Dolores Ingram’s death as a homicide.
Dolores Ingram was found dead Sunday morning inside a condominium on Beacon Hill Drive after Bucks County dispatchers received a call from the D.C. area to check on her well-being, according to the DA’s office.
Investigators found blood on a windowsill outside the first-floor condo and more blood smeared on the walls and windows, the DA’s office said. The furniture inside the condo “appeared in disarray,” according to officials.
The DA’s office said officers had to force themselves into the home because the door was locked, and the living room appeared to have been cleared out.
Officers inside the condo discovered Dolores Ingram under a pile of furniture and clothes, according to the DA’s office. The DA’s office said an officer noticed her foot, which was cold, and there “appeared to be no signs of life.” The DA’s office said Dolores Ingram appeared to have sustained severe head trauma.
A witness told police they were awakened at 1 a.m. on Saturday to the sound of loud banging. The witness reviewed her home camera at 1:42 a.m. and told police she saw William Ingram running out of the condo shirtless, but he came back a minute later.
Several hours later, the camera showed William Ingram leave the condo with a duffel bag and the witness didn’t see him since.
The DA’s office said William Ingram left in his mother’s 2015 Honda Civic and left his vehicle in the condo complex’s parking lot.
Investigators used license plate readers to track William Ingram at several locations traveling away from the condo, according to the DA’s office.
Police couldn’t find Dolores Ingram’s key to her Honda Civic during a search of the condo, but they found a key fob for William Ingram’s car next to his mother’s body, according to investigators.
An autopsy on Dolores Ingram will be conducted Tuesday. William Ingram remains in custody in Washington, according to the DA’s office.
The homicide is under investigation by the Bucks County DA’s Office and the Northampton Township Police Department, along with help from the Metropolitan D.C. Police Department.

Numerous roads in D.C. will be closed to traffic Monday evening for a fireworks show celebrating America’s 25th birthday.
Projectors have lit up all four sides of the Washington Monument nightly since 7 p.m. Wednesday for the “Illumination of America: Washington Monument Lighting.” The fireworks that lit up the National Mall on New Year’s Eve are making a return Monday night, which is the last night of the display.
The grand finale of the display comes with some parking restrictions and street closures.
Street and parking restrictions for Freedom 250 fireworks
D.C. police said Constitution Avenue from 14th Street to 17th Street NW will be an Emergency No Parking zone from roughly 6:30 p.m. to 9 p.m.
The following streets will be closed to traffic from approximately 7:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.:

“Freedom 250 is lighting up the Washington Monument as the world’s tallest birthday candle to kick off the nation’s 250th birthday year,” Keith Krach, CEO of Freedom 250, said ahead of the New Year’s Eve event.
Freedom 250 is the presidentially appointed committee planning the year-long celebration of the United States’ 250th birthday. It was created by the second Trump administration as part of the Department of the Interior, and is a separate organization from America250, which was created by Congress.
The event will “be looking at America’s past, present and what’s to come over the next 250 years,” Krach said.
“Primarily it will focus on the four pillars of Freedom 250, which is innovation; it’s also community and faith; it’s also on the beauty of our country as well,” Krach said. “And, you know, the other thing that’s great about that is that it’ll be something that will kind of be an animation and I think everybody’s going to enjoy it. So from adults to kids and everything.”
The event is free to the public, can be viewed from anywhere on the National Mall, and does not require tickets.
