This is so sad, a young life cut short like that... it's just not fair 
. You know, I was out with friends last night and we were talking about how safe Chicago seems nowadays, but this kind of thing can happen to anyone, anywhere 
. My grandkids always ask me about violent crime in the city, and honestly, I wish I didn't have to think about it too much 
.
. I hope whoever did this gets caught and brought to justice soon, but in the meantime, my thoughts are with Brant's family and loved ones 
.
. I mean, have you ever been to the Midwest? The way the light changes during sunset is like nowhere else... it's so calming. Sorry, what were we talking about again? 
I cant even imagine how the family of this poor man is feeling right now 
. The cops need to catch whoever did this ASAP! 
Area 3 detectives are doing a great job but they still need some info from us civilians to solve this case 
. Anyone with any CCTV footage or witness statements, please come forward! We can all make a difference in solving this murder mystery 
.
. I don't know, maybe it's just a coincidence? But seriously though, stabbing's such a random way to die... like, what would even make someone do that? And the police are still looking for leads, but I guess they'll find something eventually 
. Wait, no, that's not true. We should be worried. But what if we're overthinking it? Shouldn't we just focus on finding the killer and keeping everyone safe? 
I don't know...
54 years young, can't even imagine how his family must be feeling right now 
. Anyway, hope they catch the killer and get some answers for Brant Dykehouse's family. This city can be crazy sometimes... but let's not forget, we're all just a few slices of pizza away from being a crime scene 
.
and hope they catch whoever did this soon the police are already working hard tho 
Plus, think of all the amazing work our police department is doing behind the scenes to keep us safe. They're not getting enough credit! 
Area 3 detectives are on it, and I'm sure they'll get to the bottom of this. Fingers crossed for a speedy resolution and justice for Brant Dykehouse's family...
