The rock and hardcore scene has been hit with disturbing news involving Brady Ebert, a founding member of Turnstile. The musician has been arrested and charged with attempted second-degree murder following an alleged violent घटना involving a former bandmate’s family.
According to multiple reports, the incident took place on March 29, 2026, in Silver Spring, Maryland. Authorities say Ebert allegedly used his vehicle to intentionally strike William Yates, the 79-year-old father of Turnstile frontman Brendan Yates.
What allegedly happened
Police reports describe a tense and chaotic situation leading up to the घटना. Ebert reportedly arrived at the Yates family home, where he began yelling aggressively and causing a disturbance.
After leaving the scene, he allegedly returned and drove his car into William Yates, leaving him with severe injuries, including a broken leg.
Investigators believe the act may have been intentional, which is why the charge escalated to attempted second-degree murder, along with an additional assault charge.
Even more chilling, court documents cited in reports claim that after the collision, Ebert allegedly came back and shouted at the victim before fleeing again.
Arrest and current status
Ebert, 33, was arrested on March 31 and is currently being held without bond as the case moves through the legal system.
Authorities recovered his vehicle with visible damage, which is now part of the ongoing investigation.
Meanwhile, William Yates was rushed to the hospital and underwent surgery. He is reportedly recovering from serious leg injuries.
A troubled history leading up to this
Ebert’s relationship with Turnstile has been complicated for years. He was a founding member of the band but parted ways with them in 2022.
Reports suggest tensions had been building long before his departure, with mentions of erratic behavior and conflicts involving people close to the band.
More recently, there were signs of ongoing hostility, including public criticism of his former bandmates earlier in 2026.
The band’s reaction
While official statements have been limited, the situation has clearly shaken those connected to the band. Turnstile has continued forward musically, but this incident has cast a dark shadow over their extended circle.
Despite everything, there is at least one piece of good news: William Yates is on the road to recovery.
