Domino’s employee murder

Press Release: Escambia County homicide investigators are working through a number of leads in the Saturday night murder of a Domino’s Pizza employee on Navy Boulevard.

19-year-old Tyler John Hinkle, a delivery driver for Domino’s located at 27 N. Navy Blvd. (pictured), was attacked outside the business at around 10:40 p.m. Saturday night. Hinkle was able to walk into the restaurant to seek help from co-workers before he collapsed.

“Tyler was stabbed in the chest by an unknown assailant”, said sheriff’s office spokesman Deputy Chris Welborn. “He was transported to Baptist Hospital by ambulance but he succumbed to his injuries, shortly after arriving at the emergency room.”

Investigators say there were no witnesses at the time of the attack and they have not yet identified a suspect. They believe robbery was a motive in the death of Hinkle.

“We are asking anyone with information concerning this case to contact us,” said Welborn.
