Ex-Turnstile Guitarist Brady Ebert Charged With Attempted Murder in Alleged Car Attack on Singer’s Father

The 33-year-old is jailed in Montgomery County without bond pending a May 1 preliminary hearing.

Overview

  • Ebert, a founding member of Turnstile, was arrested Tuesday in Silver Spring and charged with attempted second-degree murder and first-degree assault.
  • Police say a home security camera recorded the Sunday collision that left 79-year-old William Yates with severe leg injuries requiring surgery.
  • Investigators found Ebert’s 2001 Buick unoccupied with front-end damage and took him into custody after obtaining a warrant.
  • Family accounts describe Ebert honking and yelling at the Yates home, returning to strike William Yates with the car, and later telling him he “deserved it.”
  • Turnstile said they cut ties with Ebert in 2022 over harmful behavior and escalating threats, and police say the investigation into motive and circumstances remains active.
