Brady Ebert — ex-guitarist for Turnstile — has been charged with the attempted murder of his former bandmate’s dad.
According to The Baltimore Banner, Ebert “intentionally [drove]” into William Yates — the 79-year-old dad of Turnstile frontman, Brendan Yates — with his car on Sunday.
The report says William suffered “trauma to his lower extremities” … and court records show Ebert’s being charged with attempted second-degree murder and first-degree assault.
Yates’ family members reportedly told the cops that Ebert had shown up to the house, swearing and honking the horn.
They say he drove off … but ultimately came back, the outlet reports. Detectives reportedly have security footage of the incident that allegedly shows Ebert struck William with his car as he tried to run away.
The Baltimore Banner says Ebert had come back again while William was waiting for first responders, allegedly saying he “deserved it.”
According to the outlet, William told police Ebert had been “causing problems for his family since being fired from the band.”
Ebert was kicked out of Turnstile back in 2022 because of “a consistent pattern of harmful behavior affecting himself, the band and the community,” the band said in a statement to multiple outlets.
They wrote that’s when Ebert allegedly started “threatening violence,” and the threats only “escalated further” over the past few months.
The statement continued to say William had undergone a successful surgery since the incident, and the band is “hoping for the best possible outcome in his recovery.”
They asked for privacy and noted … “We have no language left for Brady.”
Court records say Ebert has been ordered to be held without bond and is scheduled for a preliminary hearing on May 1.
