BALTIMORE, MD – Today, Attorney General Anthony G. Brown announced his decision not to seek charges in the Tuesday, March 10, 2026 fatal police-involved shooting that occurred in the city of Baltimore, Maryland.
On Tuesday, March 10, 2026, at approximately 11:45 a.m., officers with the Baltimore Police Department (BPD) responded to a 911 call reporting a burglary in progress in the 6200 block of Park Heights Avenue in Baltimore, Maryland. Upon arrival, officers learned that one man and two women were inside the residence. The man, later identified as Jonathan Ingram, fired at responding officers and threatened the lives of the two women inside the home. The BPD Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) Team was deployed to the scene. One woman escaped through a rear window of the house, moved onto a balcony, and jumped into the backyard below. Officers moved into the yard and safely extracted her from the area. Ingram fired additional shots toward officers, striking and injuring one officer. As the standoff continued, SWAT Officer Brian Loiero discharged a single round through an upstairs window, striking Ingram. SWAT officers entered the residence and rescued the second woman. A medical assessment was provided to Ingram and he was pronounced dead at the scene. Officers located a handgun near Ingram. The injured officer and the two women were transported to local hospitals for treatment of their injuries.
The Attorney General’s Independent Investigations Division (IID) began investigating the fatal police-involved shooting on Tuesday, March 10, 2026, and concluded its investigation on May 19, 2026. After completing its investigation and evaluating all the available evidence, the Office of the Attorney General has determined that the subject officer did not commit a crime under Maryland law. Accordingly, the Attorney General has declined to prosecute the subject officer in this case.
A copy of the IID’s detailed investigative findings and analysis of relevant legal issues can be found in its declination report.
