Turnstile Guitarist Brady Ebert's Attempted Murder Charge
Key Points:
- On March 29, 2026, ex-Turnstile guitarist Brady Ebert allegedly attacked William Yates, father of Turnstile vocalist Brendan Yates, by striking him with his car after a series of aggressive confrontations at Yates' home in Silver Spring, MD.
- Surveillance footage and police reports describe Ebert honking, shouting obscenities, swerving at William, and being hit by a rock thrown by William before accelerating toward him, causing severe injuries including a broken leg requiring surgery.
- Ebert faces charges of attempted second-degree murder and first-degree assault and remains in custody after being denied bond; he has a history of escalating hostility toward his former bandmates and was dismissed from a new band, The S.E.T., earlier in 2026.
- Turnstile officially condemned Ebert’s actions in a statement on April 2, 2026, highlighting a pattern of harmful behavior since their split in 2022 and expressing gratitude for William Yates’ survival and recovery.
- The incident follows months of tension, including prior aggressive encounters by Ebert with the Yates family and public disparagement of Turnstile, alongside personal financial struggles and legal disputes involving Ebert.
