On February 13, 2023 at about 1:04 a.m., deputies with the Fort Bend County Sheriff’s Office found 38-year-old Blake Ingram in the 9800 block of S Mason Road in Richmond, Texas, deceased from an apparent gunshot wound. Detectives later identified two suspects: 18-year-old Wuilson Osmar Pereira and a 16-year-old juvenile. Pereira was arrested on February 16, 2023 with assistance from the Gulf Coast Violent Offenders Task Force; the juvenile was taken into custody on a directive to apprehend. Both were charged with murder and detained at the Fort Bend County Jail, and Pereira’s bond was set at $750,000.

Ingram’s wife, Kaleigh, started a fundraiser to cover funeral costs and to help secure the family home. She described Blake as her best friend and the love of her life for 15 years and said he was caring, selfless, and devoted to their 5-year-old daughter, Maddie. If anyone has information about what happened that night, please come forward.
