“I really can’t give any more information about how they were located, not because I can’t say but because I don’t know what information led them [Hillsborough Police] to that apartment. Whatever lead they got paid off,” Walker said.

In October of last year, police added Jaheem Watson as a third suspect in the shooting.

Watson is wanted for first degree burglary, second degree kidnapping, as well as other related conspiracy charges.

“Jaheem Rashard Watson is still wanted. He, like the Ingrams were, is considered armed and dangerous. If anyone knows of his whereabouts or sees him, they shouldn’t approach him,” Walker said.
