St. Petersburg, FL - A 34-year-old Florida man was arrested on Thursday for the alleged murder of his 35-year-old brother following a hit-and-run incident on Monday morning.
St. Petersburg Police arrested Tyree Gland on Thursday night for the alleged murder of his older brother, Taiwan Gland Sr.
The murder occurred early Monday morning near the location of a memorial service for Taiwan Gland Jr., the victim's 18-year-old son, who was fatally shot just days earlier.
According to police reports, an argument between the brothers led to Tyree Gland allegedly striking Taiwan Gland Sr. with his car twice before fleeing the scene.
No further details concerning the argument's nature have been released by police.
Taiwan Gland Sr.'s death marks the second tragedy for the family within a short span.
No arrests have been made in the shooting of Taiwan Gland Jr.
Tyree Gland was released from prison in December after serving time for a previous conviction.
Police also apprehended 22-year-old Sebastian Williams, who was allegedly a passenger in the car during Monday's incident.
Williams faces charges of accessory after the fact to first-degree murder.
Investigations into the shooting of Taiwan Jr. and the alleged murder of Taiwan Sr. are ongoing.
