On July 15, 2022, the body of 24-year-old Mariah Loren Stanfield of Macon was found on the side of Knoxville Road in Bibb County, Georgia, near the Crawford County line. A passerby spotted her about 6:30 a.m. Deputies who responded found she had sustained multiple gunshot wounds, shell casings were nearby, and she was pronounced dead at the scene. A wig was seen in the middle of the road before the body was discovered, a detail witnesses mentioned as investigators worked what was described as an extensive crime scene.

The Bibb County Sheriff’s Office opened a death investigation and appealed to the public for information. In April 2023 authorities charged 25-year-old Shondricos Demetrick Ingram Jr. with her murder; he was already in custody on unrelated aggravated assault charges at that time. Mariah was remembered by family as outgoing, warm, a jokester who loved animals and travel, and someone who rescued pets.

Does anyone have information about Mariah, her movements the night before, or observations from the Knoxville Road area on July 15, 2022?
