Ex-Turnstile Guitarist Charged in Attempted Murder Case

Brady Ebert, a founding guitarist of the Grammy-winning hardcore band Turnstile, faces charges of second-degree attempted murder and first-degree assault after allegedly striking a pedestrian with his vehicle in Silver Spring, Maryland, on March 29.

According to court documents and police reports, the 33-year-old Ebert drove to a residence on Timberlane Drive, where he honked his horn and yelled obscenities. The victim, 79-year-old William Yates, father of Turnstile singer Brendan Yates, emerged from his nearby home to warn his daughter Erin Gerber, her husband Christopher Gerber, and their 3-year-old son about the approaching car. As Ebert swerved toward William Yates in the driveway, Yates backed away and threw a rock at the vehicle. Ebert then reversed, made a sharp turn to hit Yates—causing severe injuries to both legs—and veered toward Gerber and her son before fleeing. Neighbors' security footage captured the encounter, and Yates underwent successful surgery following the incident. He is expected to recover, though the full extent of his injuries remains under medical evaluation.
