46-year-old Dewayne Brady was found stabbed to death inside a house at the corner of S Alabama Ave and W Bond. Police report it took hours before anyone found Brady’s body, and they’re unsure of any motive yet.
“I don’t want to make this about what happened to him. I don’t want to give them, the ones that did this, that kind of power,” Thelma Brady-Simmons said, Dewayne’s sister.
