BROOKLYN, Md. — A man was beaten to death outside his home in Brooklyn Friday evening.
Anne Arundel County Police said an earlier encounter led a group of people to visit Christopher Wright's home on Arundel Road West.
This, police say, sparked a physical confrontation leaving Wright, 43, with traumatic injuries.
He died at the hospital a day later.
"Everybody has been so supportive," said Tracy Karopchinsky, Wright's longtime partner.
Karopchinsky tells WMAR her 14-year-old son was involved in a school altercation last week, and the group who showed up at the home was connected.
She says Wright was in the front yard when words were exchanged which ended in a fight.
"It’s got to stop. These kids need somebody to teach them right from wrong," said Karopchinsky. "I mean, everybody’s lives are destroyed right now. Whatever the outcome of everything, nothing is going to be the same for so many families."
A GoFundMe was started to support Wright's surviving family members.
The group responsible is made up of three to four suspects, according to police. They'd already fled the scene by the time officers arrived.
Police have not released any further details at this time.
