“Murder” Teen Released From Prison in a Twist of Fate Commits Fratricide, Manhunt Underway for Suspect

ST. PETERSBURG, Florida – A tragic incident in St. Petersburg has brought a family’s troubled history back into the spotlight. Tyree Jamal Gland, previously convicted of manslaughter, is now a suspect in the death of his brother after a hit-and-run incident.

Gland’s troubled past dates back to 2009 when he was first convicted of second-degree murder in a drive-by shooting that claimed the life of a 15-year-old boy. However, his conviction was later overturned, leading to a series of legal battles that ultimately resulted in a 15-year prison sentence for manslaughter.

Recently released from prison, Gland found himself at the center of a devastating event. Early Monday morning, he allegedly struck his brother, Taiwan Gland Sr., with a car – twice – leaving him dead in a St. Petersburg street. This tragic incident occurred just days after Taiwan Gland Jr., the son of Taiwan Gland Sr., was fatally shot at an apartment complex.

Following the incident, the St. Petersburg Police Department announced that Tyree Gland was wanted on a first-degree murder charge in connection to his brother’s death. Additionally, Sebastian Williams, a passenger in the car during the incident, was arrested and charged with accessory after the fact to first-degree murder.

The heartbreaking events have left the family in anguish, with the matriarch expressing confusion and despair over the unfolding tragedy. The loss of a grandson, a son, and now a brother accused of fratricide has left the family reeling from the series of devastating blows.

As the investigation continues, the community remains shocked by the tragic turn of events. The search for Tyree Gland intensifies as authorities strive to bring closure to a family torn apart by violence and loss. The plea for justice echoes through the streets of St. Petersburg as the community grapples with the impact of this heartbreaking incident.
