A 43-year-old father was tragically killed in front of his son after three teens and two adults attacked him on his own doorstep.
Christopher Michael Wright was at his home in Maryland on May 19 when the attackers arrived, looking for the 14-year-old son of his fiancé.
According to WBAL-TV, the child was involved in a fight with another student at Brooklyn Park Middle School.
But when Wright told them that the 14-year-old was not going to come out, he was told that he would have to fight them in his place.
The three teenagers and two adults then attacked the father.
Wright was rushed to a hospital where he was pronounced dead following a traumatic brain injury.
His grieving fiancée, Tracy Karopchinsky, told WBAL-TV that her children saw the horrifying incident.
“Just looking at the damage that was done to him, that wasn’t just punching that did that. Like, there’s no way that punching did that.”
“The damage was done before the ambulance ever took him away,” Karopchinsky continued. “I mean, he’d had a seizure. It was done. There was nothing that the hospital could do.”
The attack was captured on the home’s security camera.
“My dad and I tried to go onto the camera to look, and the first video that comes up is my 12-year-old son screaming ‘daddy, daddy, daddy’, and running out of the house into the street to go help his dad, and I couldn’t watch anymore after that. I just couldn’t,” she expressed.
Wright’s sister-in-law Kristin Karopchinsky said it was heartbreaking to tell the children that their dad was dead.
“I’ll never forget the sound, I’ll never forget the noise my nephews made when we had to tell them he was gone,” she expressed.
Anne Arundel County police spokesperson Marc Limansky told the outlet: “Anyone who assisted who abetted or was an accomplice of the main suspect or the primary suspect will be culpable.”
