Brookside community mourns Shaun Brady, beloved owner of Brady & Fox

IT'S GOING TO FEEL THAT STRAIGHT AHEAD. WELL, RIGHT NOW, A TEEN BOY IS CHARGED IN THE DEATH OF A BROOKSIDE RESTAURANT OWNER, SEAN BRADY SHOT AND KILLED BEHIND HIS RESTAURANT LATE YESTERDAY. A HEARTBREAKING STORY. TWO TEENS WERE ARRESTED. ONE IS CHARGED WITH SECOND DEGREE MURDER AND ATTEMPTING TO STEAL A CAR. WE STOPPED BY THE BUSINESS TODAY WHERE PEOPLE LEFT FLOWERS TO HONOR THIS HUSBAND AND FATHER. POLICE SAY BRADY WAS TAKING OUT THE TRASH WHEN HE SAW SEVERAL PEOPLE GATHERED AROUND A CAR. A MAINTENANCE WORKER SAYS IT WAS BRADY'S CAR AND HE TRIED TO STOP THAT GROUP FROM BREAKING INTO IT. BRADY WAS SHOT AND DIED AT THE HOSPITAL. HE WAS PROBABLY ONE OF THE BEST PEOPLE I'VE KNOWN. HE WOULD HE WOULD DO ANYTHING FOR ME. HE ACTUALLY JUST GLAD THAT PEOPLE HAVE GOTTEN OR GOT TO KNOW HIM AND OR THE PEOPLE THAT DID GET TO KNOW HIM KNOW THAT HE WAS A GOOD SOUL. YOU KNOW, HE WAS VERY HELPFUL FOR PEOPLE. OR HE TRIED TO BE. AND MORE FRIENDS AND COLLEAGUES ARE PAYING TRIBUTE TO BRADY TONIGHT. KMBC NINE BRIAN JOHNSON IS IN BROOKSIDE WITH THE LAW. SO MANY ARE FEELING. I COULDN'T HAVE DONE THIS THIS MORNING. THE TEARS COME READILY FOR LOVED ONES, FAMILY AND FRIENDS GRIEVING THE LOSS OF SEAN BRADY. SEAN LOST HIS LIFE BECAUSE HE WALKED UP ON A CAR THEFT. SEAN ACKERSON WAS ON HIS WAY TO BRADY AND FOX WHEN HE LEARNED THE NEWS. HEARTBREAKING AND DISGUSTING. HE SAYS BRADY WAS SALTY AND STRAIGHTFORWARD. HE GENUINELY LOVED HIS COMMUNITY. IF HE MET YOU, HE TREATED YOU LIKE HE'D KNOWN YOU FOREVER. ACKERSON SAYS THE CRIME HAS BEEN INCREASING FOR YEARS BECAUSE THE CRIMINALS KNOW THE CITY HAS LIMITATIONS. THERE'S A SENSE THAT WE CAN DO THIS, THAT THERE'S NO CONSEQUENCES. AND IF THEY ARE, THEY'RE NOT GOING TO BE SEVERE ENOUGH TO BE LIFE ALTERING. I THINK THAT'S HEARTBREAKING, BUT I JUST FEEL VERY BAD FOR HIS LOVELY WIFE AND TWO KIDS. KEVIN RYAN OWNS GOVERNOR STUMPY'S GRILL HOUSE. ALL RIGHT, TWO MILLER LITES. HE SAYS BRADY WAS A HARD WORKER, FIERCE COMPETITOR AND FRIEND WHO ALWAYS MADE PEOPLE LAUGH. HE WAS REALLY GOOD ABOUT GETTING OUT INTO THE COMMUNITY. HE HAD THAT IRISH BROGUE, THAT IRISH WAY ABOUT HIMSELF AND WHETHER IT WAS FLIPPANT OR SARCASTIC, IT WAS JUST FUN AND HE WAS JUST A GREAT GUY. HE'S CRUSHED BY THE SENSELESSNESS OF IT ALL. HE WAS AN UNARMED MAN THAT WOULD HAVE HELPED YOU IF YOU NEEDED IT, WHETHER IT BE MONEY OR FOOD OR A RIDE, HE WOULD HAVE BEEN THE GUY THAT WOULD HAVE GONE OUT OF HIS WAY TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU GOT THAT. NOW THE TOWN IS PLANNING HIS FUNERAL AND DEMANDING THE VIOLENCE. STOP. WE NEED ACTION, NOT WORDS. RIGHT
