Hickory Police Investigating Fatal Stabbing

May 8, 2022 By Richard C. Gilbert

The Hickory Police Department is investigating a fight between two Hickory men on Friday that left one dead as the result of a stabbing.

Police were called to the scene of a fight shortly after 11 p.m Friday on Second Avenue SE. They found 37-year-old Brandon Scott Willis suffering from multiple stab wounds. He was taken to Frye Regional Medical Center and then to Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center in Winston-Salem where he was pronounced dead.

Witnesses told investigators that Willis attacked 21-year-old Christopher Isaiaha Bradley. They said Willis was walking down the street yelling at Bradley, who was sitting in a vehicle in a driveway.

Willis knocked Bradley to the ground and continued to physically assault him according to the witnesses. Bradley then stabbed Willis and called police.
