Hot Maryland dad beaten to death by angry mob for protecting his kids from bullies

Police secured arrest warrants for the angry mob accused of beating a doting Maryland dad to death while he protected his kids from bullies over a $30 dispute, a source told The New York Post.

A second source told the news outlet that the suspects could be charged some time this week.

The warrants stem from the brutal melee on Friday, May 19, when Christopher Wright, 43, suffered brain damage after three teenagers and two adults confronted his 14-year-old son at their Brooklyn Park, Maryland, home to continue a schoolyard fight.

He was rushed to a hospital and died the next day. Wright's fiancée, Tracy Karopchinsky, told 11 News that the attackers turned their attention on Wright after he refused to let them fight the boy. The group told Wright that if the boy would not fight, they would fight with him instead, she said.

Footage of the fatal fight reportedly shows Wright fending off the suspects before they threw him on the ground and pummeled him, according to The New York Post. First responders tried to save him on scene and rushed him to the hospital, but it was too late.

"Just looking at the damage, that wasn’t just punching that did that," his fiancée said. "Like, there’s no way that punching did that. The damage was done before the ambulance ever took him away.

"He’d had a seizure. It was done. There was nothing the hospital could do."

The school confirmed the fight to 11 News, and Karopchinsky told the outlet about how her 12-year-old had tried to run out into the street to help Wright, but it was "too late."

A neighbor told local newspaper Baltimore Banner that they heard one of Wright's other sons yelling, "Daddy!" while the suspects took off.

"That little kid’s scream is a scream that you’ll never forget," the resident said. "It was ear-piercing, his scream was. It was awful."

The whole ordeal was allegedly sparked by a $30 dispute, Karopchinsky told The New York Post.

Police listed the suspects as three to four White males in their mid-20s to mid-30s in age.

After the fight, Anne Arundel County Police spokesperson Marc Limansky said, "Anyone who assisted, who abetted or was an accomplice of the main suspect or the primary suspect will be culpable."

This photo makes me want to cry.

The oldest son looks like he could be gay, and the other kids are just a bit nerdy.

What a kind soul of a dad to protect his kids, even to the death.

Absolutely heartbreaking.

This world is definitely finished. As R3 said, people have become worse than wild animals.

It's not a place I want to live in any more.

Just got home from the gym. Fight over a lat pulldown machine. WTF has gotten into Americans' minds these days?

These guys will get 15 years and parole after 3. What has gotten into the American justice system?

Looks like the bullies came to their house to fight with the son, and when Christopher said his son wasn't coming out, then he went out to fight them.

That is so fucked up.

I wish he had just called the cops.

Hope the perps get the death penalty, including the three teenagers. What was their plan? Were two adults and three teenagers going to beat up a single kid? All of them are human garbage.

No redeeming value to society whatsoever.

I would never live in Maryland. I've visited Antietam, but I wouldn't travel to any urban areas in the state. I'd rather keep on living.

No R1, the media doesn't want to cover this.

For all the Baltimore innuendo, doesn't OP's linked article state clearly the suspects were white?

It is really gross how they still refer to beating kids up as a "school yard fight" to minimize it. It is assault. Somehow if I kid is 12 and gets beat up its "schoolyard" fights or bullies. If a 30 year is beat up- police are called, it's a crime, there are lawsuits. But break a kids nose, knock out a tooth its supposed to be some right of passage. This is clear evidence of how it is a crime. If they did this to an adult male imagine what would have happened to the child.

Maryland has some beautiful places in and around Rock Creek Park. Bethesda and Silver Spring; the national harbor in Ft. Washington, downtown Frederick, Takoma Park. Hell even the harbor in Baltimore.

Why are there no arrests? What is going on? Are the killers related to police officers or politicians?
