On Memorial Day weekend, May 30, 2016, 62-year-old Bryce Edward Hinkle was found dead in his home on Harpersville Road in Newport News, Virginia. Hinkle owned and operated Mr. Ed’s Lawn Mowers from his residence. His body showed two gunshot wounds to the torso, and police opened a homicide investigation.

Surveillance footage captured a partially disguised man forcing entry into Hinkle’s home. A neighbor watched that man flee and followed the vehicle far enough to get its license plate, then returned and discovered Hinkle in the living room. The plate led investigators to the vehicle’s owner, who said he had lent the car to Andrew Norton and later testified Norton had talked about robbing his former boss and possessed a revolver and credit cards he hadn’t had before visiting Hinkle’s home.

Andrew Norton was arrested and in June 2018 a Newport News jury convicted him of second-degree murder, robbery, and two counts of using a firearm in the commission of a felony. Does anyone have additional information about Hinkle, his business, or the days leading up to May 30, 2016?
