Police were alerted to the scene following a call reporting a man in the road on 7th Avenue South. Upon arrival, they discovered Taiwan Gland Sr., the victim of the hit-and-run. Subsequent investigations led authorities to conclude that the collision was no accident but a deliberate and intentional act of violence perpetrated by Tyree Gland against his own brother.

The interconnectedness of these tragedies underscores the profound grief and anguish experienced by the Gland family and the broader community.
Tyree Gland’s arrest sheds light on the complexity and gravity of the situation, revealing the stark reality of familial strife and interpersonal conflicts that can escalate to unimaginable extremes.
