Girlfriend Charged With Attempted Murder After Fight: Aberdeen PD

ABERDEEN, MD — A Churchville woman is in jail on charges including attempted murder after police allege she hit her boyfriend with a car during an argument. He is at the University of Maryland Shock Trauma Center, according to the Aberdeen Police Department.

Mckenzie Lee Wright, 24, of the 3400 block of McCommons Road, has been charged with attempted second-degree murder and first-degree assault.

The charges stem from a call about a man lying in the street that the Aberdeen Police Department said it received at 1:53 a.m. Friday, Sept. 27. When officers arrived in the unit block of Liberty Street in Aberdeen, they found a man suffering from a head injury so severe that it required medevac transport. Police said the 26-year-old was flown by helicopter to shock trauma, where he is expected to survive.

Investigators said they learned he and his girlfriend had been arguing and when he tried to walk away, she hit him with her car.

Wright was taken to the Harford County Detention Center, police reported.
