Las Vegas Jury Convicts Pro Se Murder Defendant in Under Two Hours

A Las Vegas jury convicted Aaron Ingram, 36, on five felony counts, including first-degree murder with a deadly weapon, after deliberating for less than two hours on July 1, 2026 [1]. Ingram represented himself throughout the proceedings in the Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County [1]. The jury acquitted him on one count of attempted robbery with a deadly weapon [1].

The charges arose from an incident involving a firearm and culminated in a week of proceedings in which Ingram, appearing pro se, conducted his own defense against a multi-count indictment [1]. The jury's verdict covered five surviving counts: first-degree murder with a deadly weapon, battery with a deadly weapon resulting in substantial bodily harm, discharging a firearm at or into an occupied structure or vehicle, robbery with a deadly weapon, and burglary while in possession of a firearm [1]. The single acquittal on the attempted robbery count produced a mixed result on the charging instrument, though the most serious counts all resulted in conviction [1].

No sentencing date has been reported in available source material. Under Nevada law, a first-degree murder conviction carries the possibility of life imprisonment, with or without the possibility of parole, and the deadly weapon enhancement requires a mandatory consecutive prison term. Ingram's decision to represent himself will bear on how any post-conviction record is developed and whether ineffective assistance of counsel claims, typically central to habeas proceedings, remain available to him.

No information regarding appeal or post-trial motions has been reported as of the verdict date [1].
