Maryland dad beaten to death after protecting his kid in middle school fight
Wright’s fiancée, Tracy Karopchinsky, told the outlet that when the gang heard that the child was not going to fight outside, they told him, “If he’s not going to fight, then you’re going to fight.” The mob attacked Wright, who was then brought to a local hospital where he subsequently passed away on Saturday following a serious head injury.

It is obvious by the damage done to him that it wasn’t just a punch that caused it. There is no possibility that punching could have caused that. Before the ambulance ever picked him up, the harm was already done. He’d had a seizure, after all. It was finished. The hospital was helpless, according to Karopchinsky.
Security footage caught the fatal beating. All three of Karopchinsky’s children were present.
My 12-year-old son is heard yelling “Daddy, Daddy, Daddy” and rushing out of the home into the street to go help his dad in the first video that plays when my dad and I try to get on the camera to look, according to Karopchinsky. “After that, I was unable to continue watching. I simply couldn’t.
According to WBAL-TV, school administrators verified the brawl at the school and stated they are assisting Anne Arundel County police with their investigation.
No charges have been filed against any of the individuals involved.
Karopchinsky said parents need to take responsibility for what she sees as rampant violence among teenagers.
They didn’t just ruin our lives. Their lives are going to be changed forever. Their parents’ lives are going to be changed forever, and nobody thinks about that just from a fight,” Karopchinsky said. “It is everywhere, and somewhere, we as parents are failing these children as parents. It’s not the school’s responsibility. It’s our responsibility.”
