TRENTON, NJ – A late-night disturbance turned fatal when a homeowner shot and killed a man who was allegedly threatening him on his property. The incident unfolded on Bert Avenue around 10:25 p.m. Sunday, drawing a rapid response from local law enforcement.

Police were initially called to the scene following reports of gunfire. Coincidentally, detectives already in the vicinity for a separate matter quickly located a man, later identified as 34-year-old Andray Ingram, on St. Francis Avenue, suffering from a gunshot wound to the chest. Ingram was rushed to Capital Health Regional Medical Center but was pronounced dead upon arrival.

The investigation revealed a tense confrontation leading up to the shooting. According to local media, the homeowner had fired multiple shots at an individual who was purportedly armed with a hammer.
