Macon man charged with shooting in WR

On May 21, 2020 at 8:06 a.m., Warner Robins Police officers were dispatched to 218 Stevens Street in reference to a person shot.

The 27-year-old victim sustained wounds to the stomach and leg, but was able to give officers a description of the shooter and the vehicle he occupied, a silver 4-door Honda Accord.

Officers observed the suspect’s car on Northside Drive at Elberta Road and attempted a traffic stop. The vehicle fled on Elberta Road to Highway 247. The vehicle continued to flee north on Hwy 247, onto Broadway, then cut through a parking lot and continued north on Pio Nono. The driver of the fleeing vehicle abruptly turned left striking a Ford Explorer, thus ending the pursuit.

The suspect driver was taken into custody and transported to the Houston Medical Center for treatment. The driver of the Ford Explorer did not sustain any injuries. The victim of the shooting was transported to Navicent of Macon for surgery.

Officers later identified the suspect as Douglas Edwin Ingram, 25, of Macon, and the victim as Derrion Pringle, 27, of Warner Robins. Ingram’s vehicle was towed back to the Warner Robins Police Department for processing. Marijuana and two handguns were found within the vehicle.

The Bibb County Sheriff’s Office assisted Warner Robins Police after Ingram’s vehicle had entered the road construction area of Hwy 247 near Broadway. Ingram’s vehicle crashed into a Ford Explorer driven by Harold Foster of Lithonia, Ga. Foster did seek treatment at the scene.

No law enforcement officers were injured, nor were any law enforcement vehicles struck. The Georgia State Patrol is in charge of working the accident.

The incident remains under investigation, and evidence is still being collected.

Anyone with additional information should contact Detective Josh Dokes at (478) 302-5380 or Macon Regional Crimestoppers at 1-877-68CRIME.
