Joseph Hall, a 64-year-old Merritt Island resident, was found dead in his home on June 9, 2022, after being shot during a reported home invasion. Hall’s roommate discovered the body upon returning to the residence and alerted the Brevard County Sheriff’s Office. Investigators say evidence at the scene and witness statements indicate the intruder intended to rob the home and that Hall was shot during the robbery.

Authorities identified 48-year-old Cory Lyle of Melbourne as the primary suspect. Lyle was arrested the following day at a Satellite Beach residence and charged with first-degree murder, armed occupied burglary, and two counts of grand theft of a firearm. He was held at the Brevard County Jail without bail, awaiting trial. The Sheriff’s Office asked anyone with information to come forward.
