Bradley “Brad” Brady, a beloved figure who touched countless lives with his passion for community and care for others, was tragically murdered on April 9, 2025, in Kinston, North Carolina. To this day, his murder remains unsolved.  Leaving Brad without justice, and his family, friends, and community without answers. His absence echoes through the hearts of those who knew him, and it’s imperative that we take decisive action to aid the investigation and bring closure.

Brad was more than just a name in the community; he was a driving force behind the local music scene across North Carolina, particularly in Hickory, where he supported and promoted countless local bands. Brad was deeply committed to caring for others, channeling his passion into owning and operating multiple assisted living facilities, where he changed the lives of many residents with compassion and respect.

Despite the profound impact he had on so many, those responsible for this heinous act remain at large. It's crucial that we urge the governor of North Carolina to offer a substantial reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the perpetrators. A governor’s reward would not only incentivize potential witnesses to come forward but also demonstrate the state’s commitment to justice and community safety. 

By securing this reward, we amplify our plea for justice and underline the importance of valuing every citizen’s contribution to our community. It sends a message that the lives of community builders like Brad will never be forgotten, and that justice will be pursued tirelessly.

We have a chance to change the narrative of this ongoing investigation and prevent this tragedy from becoming another cold case. I urge you to sign this petition to press the governor to act in offering a reward to solve this case. Together, we can help bring peace to Brad's family and friends and restore faith in our shared commitment to preserving justice.
