Deadly MD Forklift Attack At Home Depot Ends In Murder Conviction

WALDORF, MD — A man who ran over a woman with a stolen forklift at a Waldorf Home Depot store's parking lot has been convicted of murder, reports said.

Bryce Caleb Timothy Brown, 22, was found guilty at trial last week, FOX DC reported, and faces nearly 60 years in prison.

Brown worked at a nearby Lowe's store in July 2023 when he broke into the store's fenced-in lot, stole the forklift, and drove it to Home Depot. Charles County Sheriff's deputies called to Lowe's for a reported burglary were told that employees heard loud banging coming from the back security gate, WMAR reported.

Deputies were told a woman had been screaming outside the nearby Home Depot, and they discovered the body of Gloristine Pinkney, 73, pinned beneath a forklift.

FOX reported Pinkney was asleep in her parked car when Brown ran over her, killing her. He then stole her credit card, used it to buy gas as he drove to Washington, D.C., before returning home, where he was arrested.

Brown was convicted of second-degree murder, theft, fourth-degree burglary, and malicious destruction of property.

He is scheduled to be sentenced on Feb. 13, 2026, WMAR said.
