Jennifer Kay Vree Ingram, 45, was found dead from gunshot wounds in her mobile home in Eastaboga, Alabama on August 4, 2025. Investigators concluded the shooting was a homicide and identified a man known to her as the person responsible.

Authorities named 36-year-old James Justin Watts Hayes of Lincoln as the suspect. Reports state Hayes and Ingram had been in a relationship, and that Hayes had a prior history of domestic violence and was out on bond on a burglary charge at the time of the shooting. A few days after Jennifer’s body was found, Hayes was arrested in Calera and charged with her murder; his bond was set at $250,000.
