Suspect in caught-on-camera beating death of Maryland dad finally arrested 2 months later
An arrest has been made in the brutal, caught-on-camera death of a devoted Maryland father who was defending his son from school bullies, police said Wednesday.
Trevor Taylor, 26, of Glen Burnie, was busted in connection with the May killing of Christopher Wright, 43, and is being held on manslaughter, assault and disorderly conduct raps.
Wright suffered fatal brain damage after a trio of teenagers and two adults swarmed his Brooklyn Park home on May 19 to confront his14-year-old son, Trenton.
Sources at the time told The Post Trenton had fought with another pupil, later identified in court papers as Taylor’s nephew, at school over $30.
Taylor then came to Wright’s home alongside the nephew, two of his friends and another adult.
Taylor demanded the two boys fight outside the residence and told Wright he would attack him if they didn’t.
Afraid that the group would force their way into his home, Wright then punched Taylor before retreating behind a car.
Taylor then knocked Wright in the face and began beating him, before hoisting him off the ground and slamming him to the concrete, as captured in brutal security camera footage.
Wright’s head slammed into the ground as Taylor continued the assault.
That injury ultimately led to his death the following day, according to a medical examiner’s report.
Cops are not probing additional suspects in the case.
Court records show Taylor has several prior cases, including a 2015 forcible entry charge, a marijuana possession rap and traffic violations.
With his father bleeding on the ground, another one of Wright’s kids was heard yelping “Daddy!” as the assailants fled.
“That little kid’s scream is a scream that you’ll never forget,” a neighbor told The Post. “It was ear-piercing, his scream was. It was awful.”
Sources told The Post in late May warrants had been issued in the case, and Wright’s distraught wife, Tracy Karopchinsky, questioned the delay in arrests at the time.
Sources said authorities needed additional time to parse the circumstances of the incident because Wright threw the first punch as the confrontation escalated.
Local residents described Wright as a loving and devoted father who took care of his kids while Karopchinsky worked several jobs.
“She worked two doubles, had a job five days a week, while he took care of the kids. He was a Mr. Mom so they could pay the mortgage. Now her world has been turned upside-down, because who is going to help with her kids?” the neighbor said.
Wright posted a cheerful message on Facebook celebrating his family’s new home in the weeks before his death, which took place directly in front of it.
In his last social media post on May 5, Wright posted a text image that read: “No matter how good or bad your life is, wake up each day and be thankful you still have one.”

Fleet Week sheds light on Maryland’s naval history through STEM during weekend’s festivities
BALTIMORE — Maryland Fleet Week and Flyover Baltimore is all about honoring our state’s rich naval history.
“It is important to the Navy and the Marine Corps to be here so our Sailors and Marines can be out and about and the American people can get to meet them and see what we do,” said Rear Admiral Nancy Lacore, the commandant at Naval District Washington.
There’s also a lot to learn in the fields of science, technology, engineering and math (STEM).
“When you look at our ships like the USS Constellation built in 1854, it’s the last sale only ship built by the Navy,” explained Steve Bountress, the executive of Historic Ships in Baltimore.” And then right around the corner, here we’ve got the USS Marionette which is one of the most recent Navy ships built— see the differences in the technology of these two ships”.
This is where the scientists and engineers at Naval Surface Warfare Center’s Dahlgren Division come in.
“We are a team of mission driven and product focused scientists and engineers that are dedicated to delivering with technical excellence. And today we are here to share the passion of STEM,” said Brad, a scientist at NSWC Dahlgren.
They teamed up with Historic Ships in Baltimore to inspire kids to explore different STEM fields.
“The rockets, the propulsion of the canister, the code, all the testing is done at house Dahlgren So, it’s like our own little project,” said Taylor Ann with NSWC Dahlgren.
Inside their tent on Saturday and Sunday during Fleet Week, they plan to demonstrate experiments and activities for kids and their families– with the hope to inspire the next generation.
“We are just scientists and engineers getting to interact with the community and be able to share our passion for science and engineering,” said Brad.
You can find the STEM and history education tent on Pier 1 next to the USS Constellation during Fleet Week.
