Former guitarist for Baltimore-based rock band Turnstile faces attempted murder charges
A former guitarist for the Baltimore-based rock band Turnstile is facing second-degree attempted murder charges after he allegedly hit the lead singer's dad with a car near his Maryland home.
Brady Ebert, 33, was located in his Silver Spring neighborhood and was taken into custody on Tuesday, March 31, two days after police said he struck his 78-year-old neighbor with his 2001 Buick. The neighbor was taken to the hospital with serious injuries, which included a broken leg.
Turnstile cut ties with Ebert in 2022 because of a "consistent pattern of harmful behavior, according to our media partner, The Baltimore Banner.
The 78-year-old man is the father of Turnstile lead singer Brendan Yates, the Banner reports. According to charging documents obtained by CBS News Baltimore, since Ebert was removed from the band, he has been causing issues with the family.
Turnstile wrote on Instagram, "Our love for him continues and we wish him nothing but the best moving forward."
