Loading ...A party turned violent and ultimately deadly Sunday night in Pylesville when a Havre de Grace man, attending his daughter’s birthday celebration in the home of his estranged wife’s boyfriend, was shot in the head following a heated argument.
Here are the details according to the Harford County Sheriff’s Office:
Homicide in Pylesville
(Pylesville, MD – Monday, August 11, 2008) - Shortly after 9pm, Sunday, August 10, 2008, Harford County Sheriff’s Office deputies responded to a 911 call for shots fired in the 1200 block of Harkins Road in Pylesville, MD.
Upon arrival, they discovered Christopher Lee Fritsche, 34, of Havre de Grace, MD with a gun shot wound to his head. Fritsche was attending a birthday party for his daughter in the home of his estranged wife’s boyfriend, Kevin J Sorrick, 36, of the 1200 block of Harkins Road. The birthday party had wound down and a few people were still at the house when an argument started. The fight became heated and resulted in Sorrick shooting Fritsche with a rifle.
Emergency medical personnel from the Norrisville Fire Company responded to the scene and at 9:20pm confirmed Fritsche’s death as a result of a gunshot wound to the head.
The suspect, Kevin Sorrick was subsequently taken into custody by Sheriff’s Office deputies and charged with 1st Degree Murder. He is currently being held at the Harford County Detention Center pending a bail hearing.
Both the accused murderer and the victim have extensive criminal records.
Christopher Lee Fritsche, the Havre de Grace man who was murdered, has been charged with dozens of crimes in the last decade. At the time of his death, Mr. Fritsche was also one of the Harford County Sheriff’s Office 10 Most Wanted:

In August 2007, Mr. Fritsche was charged with second-degree burglary, theft greater than $500, theft scheme, malicious destruction of property, trespassing, littering/dumping under 100 pounds and unauthorized cable TV connection.
Some of Mr. Fritsche’s other charges over the years have included possession of marijuana, possession of drug paraphernalia, battery, misrepresentation of age, possession of alcohol by a minor, second-degree assault, resisting arrest, second-degree escape, possession of a drug other than marijuana, disobeying police, possession of a concealed deadly weapon, unauthorized use of a motor vehicle, speeding, driving on suspended license, several dog license violations and multiple judgements for thousands of dollars.
Kevin Johnathon Sorrick, the accused murderer, has also been charged with a number of crimes since 1992 including possession of a drug other than marijuana, carrying an open container of alcohol in public, theft greater than $300, second-degree assault, breaking and entering with the intent to commit a felony, malicious destruction of property and was involved in a domestic violence case in 2006.
For those keeping score, this would be the second time in a month someone has been murdered by gunshot at a birthday party in Harford County.
The previous birthday party murder was in July in Joppa:

the article says the guy was from Edgewood
well… What article are you talking about?
I grew up with right down the street with Kevin Sorrick. We did the samethings that everyone out in the country did years ago. He was a nice guy granted he had a few problems such as the drugs but it wasn’t severe at the time. I am talking about 15 years ago. I was in complete shock when I heard this on the news. I can’t believe that someone that I knew could have done something like that.
Im glad I did’nt throw myself a birthday party this year. Seems to be bad for your health.
Chris Fritsche is my uncle, and I think that this crime is ridiculous. This is very sad, and hard to understand. My uncle Chris has made mistakes but has always been there for everyone. His heart has always been in the right place. Kevin, used to be his best friend. There is no excuse for him to have taken his anger out with a gun. He knew what he was doing, and this should not go ignored. He should spend his life in jail. No one deserves to die, and therefore I do not wish the death penalty upon him. I am at a loss for words, and just upset with this whole situation
RIP Uncle Chris
Love always, Crystal
chris is my cousin … he will be missed very much here in pa !if there is any one in this world that dont have problems ,you would be a liar. i also know that ignorance is the unknown so people comment as much as you want . he now joins his mom and dad and hopefully he will have a big smile on his face. my heart goes to all the family(even those i havent met)crystal give my regards to your family love ya chrissy( as we called him when we were kids)your cuz heather
According to the Harford County Sheriff’s Office, the murder victim, Mr. Fritsche, was the third person listed on the agency’s 10 Most Wanted List.
Please see the update to the story with photo and link.
I have known Chris for over 30 yrs and he was a great young man I have to say he had problems after losing his mother at a young age and in the past year the woman who helped raise him plus his father He had alot on his plate He did not deserve to be murdered in such a awful way No one deserves that I feel for his brothers ecspecially Darryl What is this world coming to Its so out of control My heart and prayers are with ya boys and the family
Brian whats your point Its about our lost love one
this is a tragedy. i cant believe that someone would be so angry as to shoot someone else now his life is over too i just hope someone told poohs brother herman. im gonna miss you pooh bear love ya lisa
lisa, herman does know he called my dad from where hes at….(johnny) from pa..and yes chris had to deal with his mom being sick and passing and then his dad not too long ago,some people deal with things others dont deal too well but never once did i think i would get a phone call like that,so sad the things people bring up when someone gets killed i really hope that those people sleep well at night putting all his past in the open i mean come on now did this have to happen no but it did and we all are grieving to bad some dont have respect for the ones who loved him
Kevin was an incredible friend and person. Neither him nor Chris were perfect. Kevin’s heart was always in the right place too. He was funny and very nice.
There is more to this story then what any of us know. I think it starts with Yvonne. She played a huge part in this, there is no doubt.
You can only do so much to one person before pushing them over the edge. Nobody deserves to die, that is very true, but nobody deserves to be treated the way Chris treated Kevin either. This whole thing is a disaster and people on both sides are losing someone they care about and will miss.
Every action has a reaction and this was Kevin’s reaction to what was being done to him. Now he has to face the reactions to his actions.
For all of you who want to speak poorly of Chris … let me just tell you this -
Chris was NO DIFFERENT then a lot of other people out here. For MANY years he and Kevin were best friends and, yes, they ended up with their differences. Chris did not treat Kevin “badly” as the girl who commented right above me said!! He made mistakes but just remember - Kevin was living with, and sleeping with, Chris’ wife at the time he murdered MY NEPHEW’S FATHER!!
Nobody can ever justify Kevin taking Chris’ life! It was wrong and completely uncalled for! I have known Kevin as long as I have known Chris - for 22 years and I would have never thought this would happen! Kevin was always a funny, caring guy and I loved him very much but, I can’t find that love now! He robbed my nephew of his father and my nephew is only 10 years old, as is his step-sister and Chris’ youngest child is only 17 months old and will never even know his father!
Chris’ past, as well as Kevin’s, has nothing AT ALL to do with this tragedy! Two families have lost someone they love dearly so, all of you who feel the need to bring those things up - remember that people who love these guys read these things!
Zane, Lexi, Hayden, Crystal - I love you guys! Words could never express the pain I feel in my heart for you guys!! Herman - I wish you could read this - I love you and I am SO SORRY for the loss of your brother!!
Love,
Terri
to anyone who knows we got this news from someone who called my dad (johnny) they contacted the lititz pa police to get ahold of him and this lady said she would call back and let us know when the funeral arrangement are going to be…we dont know any way to contact any one so if you could please let us know somehow or if you know who called him we deeply appreciate it if someone could let us know like i said he is my cousin and we want to be a part of saying goodbye to him thanks love ya pooh your cuz heather
My heart is breaking over this! I have known Kevin for ever and have never know him to be violent. He is always the fun, party guy! You were sure to have a great time with Kevin around! Even if it was just laughing at his dumb ass! I as born and raised in Pylesville and it is painfully to see such an ugly thing like this happen in such a beautiful place. To Kevin’s family, I worry how Kevin will every be able to come to terms with what he has done. I pray for him. But knowing him for as long as I have, I know he will except his responsibility. To Chris’ family, I am so sorry for the lose of your loved one.
I think this is about the saddest thing that I have ever heard. My little brother beany as I called him (Brian Johnson) and Pooh bear as I called Chris, were like to peas in a pod growing up! I am deeply hurt that this has happened. My only problem now is that I hope someone will stay around Chris’ children and let them know what a wonderful person he was! I wish best for all of the family and friends that Chris had!
i dont care what list pooh was on he didnt deserve to be shot and killed now his kids will grow up and be robbed of a father no one deserves that. thank you heather im so glad someone got in touch with herman and let him know about pooh . i know hes in jail for something he did i dont know what but it would not be fair to not let him know what happened. im pretty sure they wont let him out to say goodbye because of his track record but if you talk to herman please let him know that i am so sorry for what happened and he is in my thoughts . my email is lisarockyman@aol.com so email me if you want. we should put our email addresses on here so we can talk to each other cause i dont live in h de g anymore and i know alot of you so if you want to talk just email me
SHHHH !……. BE QUITE !…..dONT sAY ANYTHING!……..Dont say that!…..Shhhhhh!
Than when somone is dead….WHY DID THAT HAPPEN?
We are too fast to shut up and not be critical of poor behavior until its too late. The results are too fast becoming apperant in the recent spate of GOOD, BIGHEARTED, people whom’s friends seem to think silence is a way to make things right.
Go Dagger !
chris slept with kevin’s wife first and everyone knows it. stop trying to act like he was such a saint and innocent in this whole mess. he was threatening kevin in his own home. he has done plenty to kevin.
kevin shouldn’t be sitting in jail right now. he should be home enjoying the rest of his life.
I don’t care what any of you say. Kevin is not a violent person by any stretch of the imagination. Something provoked him. I don’t think he should be in jail either.
Kevie has always been a wonderful person. He deserves to live out the rest of his life in peace at home with the people that care about him.
SET KEVIN FREE!
the man slept with his wife first and was threatening him and going after him every chance he got. most people in the world consider that treating someone “badly”.
why is it forgotten by all you chris lovers what kind of a person he was and all the horrible things that he has done to others. stop putting all of this on kevin. they both played their parts. if chris hated kevin so bad and was going to act out in that man’s house, then why would he even go there in the first place. or why didn’t he just leave instead of starting crap at his daughters birthday party.
obviously he wasn’t asking to get shot or killed, but he was starting trouble. chris is no more innocent in this then kevin is.

A SERVICE HAS BEEN SCHEDULED FOR CHRIS AT ZELLMAN’S (MITCHELL-SMITH) FUNERAL HOME ON WASHINGTON STREET IN HAVRE de GRACE ON SUNDAY, AUGUST 17, 2008 AT 10am
**************************************************************************************
SO … Chris was threatening Kevin in his own home? That’s easy for people to say when there was NO ONE left at that house who would say OTHERWISE!! They had both been drinking - everyone knows it - so, it’s hard telling what Kevin said, Chris said, or anyone else said! It doesn’t matter who slept with who’s wife first - they both did it! I guess that makes it okay to murder somebody? Not hardly! Kevin has NO EXCUSE, especially something that happened years ago!! … the point is - KEVIN SHOT AND KILLED AN UNARMED MAN IN COLD BLOOD! That’s the bottom line! It doesn’t matter how any of us feel about it - nothing Chris ever did, or Kevin ever did, can change the law! Kevin will spend the rest of his life in jail so, his family basically lost a loved one too! The only difference is, if they choose to, they can go see him in jail - Chris’ kids can’t go see him! Kevin didn’t leave any children behind when he went off to jail! I don’t understand how ANY ONE could try to defend Kevin’s actions! I loved Kevin too, but, wrong is wrong!! My nephew, Chris’ son, has called him “Uncle Kevin” since he was old enough to talk - this just doesn’t make any sense AT ALL and it never will! Kevin should pay for his crime - by sitting in prison for the rest of his life! Chris never committed ANY crime - against Kevin, or anybody else - that held a death sentence! Violence is never the answer - that’s how we’ve raised these children in my family - BUT - Kevin should have fought like a man if he had such a problem! Then, both families would still have these guys!
For the ones who have wondered about Herman - he has talked to my Dad and Step-Mom a few times this week. He seems to be holding up okay from what they can tell. Hopefully it will stay that way. Only time will tell.
everyone is entitled to their own opinion….. chris’s friends and family will support him and his actions. kevin’s friends and family will support his. that is what is called unconditional love. it doesn’t matter who is right or who is wrong and everyone fighting over it on this blog isn’t making anything better.
HOW CAN TERRI BRING UP THAT KEVIN WAS SLEEPING AND LIVING WITH CHRIS’S WIFE AND THEN TURN AROUND AND SAY IT DOESN’T MATTER THAT CHRIS SLEPT WITH KEVIN’S WIFE FIRST? YOU CAN’T BRING IT UP AND THEN BLOW IT OFF WHEN IT COMES BACK ON CHRIS.
COME DOWN OFF YOUR CROSS LADY - YOU HAVE NO GROUND TO STAND ON.
Free Kevin…. Self Defense in his own home……..He has every right to defend himself with any means possible. If there is any justice in this world Kevin will come home a free man.
OH WOW!! People will say ANYTHING!
Kevin lived his life, in Pylesville and Chris lived his in Havre de Grace! They rarely spoke and NEITHER OF THEM was out stalking the other! Chris did not spend his time out looking for Kevin, threatening him or anything else! That is the so far from the truth!!
YVONNE invited Chris to her daughter’s birthday party! That was, more than likely, where it all went wrong! Chris would never have said no! He saw that girl as his daughter! Chris’ son and my son were both at the party too - of course Chris would go! If there was SUCH anger and all this other crap still there, then why on earth even invite him KNOWING he would not say no?
Nobody will EVER know the truth about what was said or done in those last moments and, it really doesn’t matter now!
Nobody’s saying Chris was perfect BY FAR! I would always be the first one to tell anyone what I thought of him and the things he did - he’s my nephew’s father! I know EVERYTHING he did!! He could be a real a** - no doubt about it! He DID sleep with Kevin’s wife - yeah! She also slept with him - it takes two! Was he after her to kill her too? No - not since they were still togehter a few more years and their split had nothing to do with the infidelity! Chris definitely had a way of doing his own thing no matter what people thought of him! Yeah - He was sure a jerk A LOT - but, he did not go to Kevin’s house for his step-daughter’s birthday party expecting to be murdered! Kevin had no right to do what he did! Nobody can make an excuse for him! He’s right where he should be for the rest of his life!
no one here said chris was a saint and i know he wasnt but once again does that make it alright to pull a gun out and shoot someone in the face and lets not forget kill him and u think that kevein should be at home watching tv.im sure kevins famiily and friends are schocked he did this,but to make excuses for why,it dont even matter why and being quiet noone said to be quiet but some of us cant belive what people will do to make a name for themselves,why dont u ask his wife what went on last i talked to chris he wouldnt even talk about her,of course kevins family would rather have him home i would to if he was my family but how many people do you see on tv and you say thaey should go to jail for that this is no different right lisa my email is steveheather08@aol.com
Who is making a name for themselves?
The police said that Chris was threatening Kevin in his home. Obviously the 7 witnesses their said that.
That’s right, Heather! CHRIS - A SAINT! He would even laugh at that one!! I am shocked that Kevin did this as well and I feel so badly for his mother! She’s really the one he left out here to deal with this mess! His brother, as well!
And - yes, you’re right! Chris did not speak of Yvonne hardly at all, or to her, unless it was to see his kids. They had both moved on and that was that. Chris didn’t even care that she was with Kevin. He had a girlfriend and they spent most of their time together.
I wish arguing over the reasons why could change the fact that it even happened but, it can’t. This was as senseless a crime as the ones we see on the news and think “how in the h*** could someone do that?” I think my nephew said it best when he said “We’ll never know what “Uncle Kevin” was thinking or how he could do that to my Dad! I wish my Dad wouldn’t have gone to the party!”
That says enough! It’s the truth - we will never know why! We will never be able to understand! Kevin’s family is, indeed, in complete shock over this! He did not come from a bad family! He is not, and has never been, a bad person! That’s why no one can understand! That also doesn’t change the fact that what he did was wrong and he has to pay the price for that.
I wish for Kevin’s Mom and brother great strength to deal with what has been handed to them now. I can’t even imagine what they’re thinking and feeling!
And, for Chris’ family - the strength to move on and have happy lives. That’s the best anyone can hope for! Anger doesn’t help! Arguing about it will never help and can’t change a thing! Everyone is entitled to their own opinion but - make no mistake - we are not trying to say Chris was perfect, people! We are only saying he didn’t deserve to be murdered! NO ONE has the right to end another person’s life!!
Have a good day, folks.
I truly hope this is not the beginning of a klan against klan fight…..people….life is too short…please relize that there is blame in both ways but the trigger was pulled by the shooter. Mabey if there is some mitigating circumstances that will be considered but fact is fact.
If you support Kevin you need to get him a real good lawer and make sure his story is told and his rights protected.
Causing a klan against klan fight is fruitless…take a breath…watch a child at play and think for a minute.
The circumstances may provide a lesson to many on what type of place to NOT put yourself in…but thats all.
Go Dagger !
Where is Yvonne in all this? I agree with the person that states she has much more to do with this than people are saying. She knew the animosity between the two of them, she said it on local t.v. Why would she invite someone to kevin’s home that he doesn’t like, knowing they were both going to be drinking and tempers would be flaring. was she pitting the two against eachother? was she telling kevin one thing and chris another. if they had all moved on and no games were being played, then none of this would’ve happened. we will never know what really caused this.
Nobody but kevin, chris and probably yvonne know what was going on. which means we will never get the real truth.
i’m sorry for all families involved. i’ve known kevin for years. i grew up with him and yes, he was a funny, nice, caring and loving person. i never knew chris, but if he was my family member or someone i cared about, i would be angry and hurt that someone else took his life. for whatever reason, nothing will change the fact that two people are both destroyed. one is dead and they other is in jail for the rest of his life and for what? some girl? some stupid argument? because they were both drunk? this whole thing is so sad. my thoughts and prayers go out to both families.
the part about making a name was meant for the reporters thanks to the women who called to tell us about the funeral…and for posting it
Your welcome, Heather! I have posted the Service information on MySpace as well (http://myspace.com/terrilynngreene91271).
As for the rest … let it go people. The past is done. Time does not turn back!!
Godspeed to all of you!
~ Terri ~
yes we all need to vent we are all angry but we cant do much about it now but let the grieving take place does anyone know how his girlfriend is?
I’ve known Chris for many, many years…having moved in next door to his family in 1985…and this breaks my heart. Chris’ oldest son is my nephew. The man who murdered him was called “Uncle Kevin” by my nephew. Can you imagine being my sister and having to face telling her son that his “Uncle Kevin” shot and killed his Daddy? I can’t. That poor child has lost so many people that he cares about in the past 3 years…his maternal grandmother, his paternal grandfather, and now his Father….as well as others. For Kevin to have such disregard for Zane, Lexie, and Hayden’s Daddy makes me believe wholeheartedly that he deserves to be behind bars.,,for the rest of his life. This was a senseless crime that did not need to be committed. There were other options. I will be the first to admit that Chris was not liked by all who knew him….sometimes he could be a real jerk!! But nonetheless, whenever I was around Chris, he would always let me know if I ever needed anything, he would be there…and he could always make you laugh just by being his silly, chaotic self!! =) I didnt know Kevin very well, but over the years I have heard many stories…from my sister and my nephews…that he was a funny, loving, generous, caring man. The circumstances that lead Kevin to pull that trigger had to have been extreme….but there is simply NO excuse. And I too would really like to know what part Yvonne has played in all of this. She is definitely not the innocent widower……
My heart goes out to my nephew and his sister and brother, my sister-Cheryl, Chris’ brother-Herman, my niece-Crystal, my Fiance’-Tim, and ALL of the other “CHRIS LOVERS” out there!! I LOVE YOU CHRIS…AND I WILL MISS YOU VERY MUCH. LOVE ~ JACKI

sorry!! it told me the first one didnt go through!!! Obviously it did!!
Have a good day, all.
Jacki
We haven’t seen Chris’ girlfriend yet but, as far as we have been told, she is dealing with things the best that she possibly can. I’m SURE she is also still in shock about this whole thing.
******* Thanks for speaking out, Jacki! *******
People always want to try to twist what others say instead of reading things for what they are!! It makes me SO angry!! I think this should have been a place for people to share their memories of the man who’s life was taken so quickly and unnecessarily … not to try to turn it into a court room! I have spoken directly with the people involved in prosecuting this case, collecting the evidence and all of that stuff! It seems to me that they are doing their job VERY WELL - so they really don’t need anyone else trying to do it underneath a news article!! Many of the comments that have been left here were by people who probably didn’t know either one of these guys and that’s not right! YOU CAN NOT ALWAYS BELIEVE WHAT YOU READ IN THE NEWSPAPER OR HEAR ON THE NEWS!!! I have spoken to the important people in this case and the evidence they have, and are using, is a far cry from the unnecessary recalling of the past of these two guys! Let’s leave that where it belongs and give their family members the respect they deserve!! Enough of the back and forth backlashing!!
We love you so much Chris and we weill miss you DEARLY!!! We will raise your son to be a good man … you can count on that … and he will always have his memories that he can talk about whenever he wants to! Rest in peace, my friend!!! Tell Pop we said hi and we love him, please!!!! :((
FOR THE FAMILY AND FRIENDS OF CHRIS - here’s the article that was posted after Kevin’s bail hearing on Tuesday, 08/12/2008 …
**************************************************************************************
A Harford County judge denied bail yesterday to a 36-year-old Pylesville man charged with first-degree murder.
Kevin J. Sorrick is accused in the fatal shooting Sunday of Christopher Lee Fritsche, 34, of Havre de Grace. Fritsche died of a single gunshot wound to the head while attending a birthday party for his young daughter at Sorrick’s home, authorities said.
According to charging documents, the two men argued throughout the evening at the Harkins Road home that Sorrick shares with Fritsche’s ex-wife, Yvonne Fritsche, 28. The arguing grew more intense as the party began to wind down with Fritsche, who was unarmed, yelling threats at Sorrick, police said.
Sorrick went to his bedroom and loaded a rifle he kept there, authorities said. Sorrick then returned to the kitchen and fired one shot, striking Fritsche in the head.
Harford County sheriff’s deputies responded to a 911 call about 9 p.m. Fritsche was pronounced dead at the scene less than 20 minutes after police and paramedics from the Norrisville Volunteer Fire Co. arrived. Police said alcohol was involved in the incident.
Deputies arrested Sorrick, and charged him with first- and second-degree murder. He is being held at the Harford County Detention Center without bail. Sorrick has three previous convictions for theft, possession, breaking and entering, authorities said.
Brian Cunningham, the public defender, asked for bail, saying Sorrick “has no history of violence” and is helping to raise the Fritsches’ two young children.
But prosecutor Douglas Dolan said Sorrick’s admission to shooting an unarmed man in the head shows he “is an extreme danger to the community.”
u seem to be the only person backlashing. why don’t you let it go.
yvonne provoked this whole event, why isn’t she locked up too? she wasn’t even upset over it and was real quick to get on the news. what kind of a wife or girlfriend would do that? she used kevin from the get.
kevin was definitely provoked to the point of snapping.
terri -
why are you acting like you know everything and that your opinion is the only one that matters. this is a blog for everyone, not just chris’s friends and family.
kevin’s friends and family’s opinion matter too.
i still think kevin should be free. he may have taken someones father, but he also saved alot of other people from chris’s actions. like his assault, or burglary or whatever his next crime would’ve been. if he does all these things, he couldn’t be that good of a father. you have to have morals to be a good parent, which he clearly didn’t have any. if kevin was supporting chris’s wife and two kids, then chris clearly wasn’t. some father
Kevin should come home free. harford county just got a little safer.
i didnt know chris as long as you all but i lived out on the land for awhile and it was at a time in my life when i was going through alot and chris had a great heart he talked to me and told me if he could do anything to help me just let him know and he stuck to his word to his family i am very sorry for your loss and i cant even imagine the pain you are feeling no matter his past chris touched my heart in the time i was there and i will miss him dearly my prayers are with you all
To Yvonne:
You belong in jail right next to Kevin for starting all of this crap. If it wasn’t for you, neither one of these families would be destroyed.
safer?? maybe you didn’t read the full RAP sheets:
Kevin Johnathon Sorrick, the accused murderer, has also been charged with a number of crimes since 1992 including possession of a drug other than marijuana, carrying an open container of alcohol in public, theft greater than $300, second-degree assault, breaking and entering with the intent to commit a felony, malicious destruction of property and was involved in a domestic violence case in 2006.
To Chris’s family, my deepest sympathy.
To Kevin and his family: Please get him an incredible lawyer. Hang in there, it will be a long rough road.
First of all … to #44 - I’m not backlashing at all! I’m trying to make people see that, WHETHER HE HAD A CRIMINAL RECORD OR NOT - AND REGARDLESS OF WHAT HE DID IN HIS PAST - Chris did not deserve to be murdered! It makes me absolutley sick that people want to make him look like this horrible, out-of-control person. That’s not true! He helped MANY, MANY people but, now that he’s been murdered, people only want to see the bad things, YET - they don’t speak of Kevin’s past and he’s the one who committed murder!
To #46 - I’m not acting like I know everything BUT - everything I’ve stated has been FACTS! I never said Kevin’s family and friends don’t deserve the right to be heard! It’s the other few who OBVIOUSLY did not know EITHER ONE OF THEM who want to bring up s*** they’ve only learned from their past records, or the VERY VAGUE story printed here. Everyone has the right to speak their mind BUT - make sure you know what you’re talking about before you put something out there! That’s all I’m saying! If you did not know these guys then you have no right to form an opinion based on a vague news article!!
To #49 - it seems there’s a LOT of people who are asking that same question! I’ve been asked by SO MANY people who live in Havre de Grace about that same thing!! I guess we’ll have to wait and see where that goes!
AND - to #50 - THANK YOU!! If Chris was such a horrible threat to society - which he was notbut, that’s another one where the close family and friends know all of the details about that too - then CERTAINLY everyone should know about Kevin’s record too!! (Again - those of us close to the situation know all of the details behind his charges as well!!)
Neither of these guys had EVER been a threat to society! They made their mistakes and they paid the price for each and every one except the most recent ones that had not gone to court yet! They were not ever villains! They were young guys doing stupid things - both of them!
Thanks for helping to clear that up!
Lets see if I got this straight
Mom has Birthday Party for Kid. Mom lives with Ex Hubby’s Ex best friend. They invite ex-hubby for birthday. Alcohol is consumed and Ex Hubby and Ex Best Friend argue. Ex best friend blows Ex-Hubby’s brains out and gets arrested and will probably be in prison for he rest of his life.
Sounds like a simple matter of Darwin’s Theory of Evolution at work. The human species just got healthier because of this.
In response to Gene Pool Cleaner:
WOW … when you put it like that! LOL! That even confused me and I know the actual names of the people spoken of!
Wow…where was all this concern last saturday?
I want to know what the argument was over…..please dont say it was over who is bangin who….thats too petty.
Go Dagger!
hey terry u should be a lawyer girl lol chris is up there enjoying all these arguments over him if you know how chris was always joking around ..he passed on his grandmas birthday(shes in heaven too) so he will be in peace finally ! lisa januaury was the answer to your question about herman….CAN WE HAVE A MOMENT OF SILENCE FOR CHRISTOPHER AKA POOH BEAR*********
If theres a moment of silence needed its for the kid whos birthday party it was…that kid was emotionally murdered on that sunday afternoon buy the self centered adults who turned a kids party into a goddam train wreck…..that kids life is probably ruined. How many adults stood by and watched this develope and come to its sycotic end.
Shame on all of you !
Go Dagger !
PS…ADULTS MY ASS !
I AGREE 100% WITH YOU RICHIEC!! And … not only did this happen to this precious little girl THIS year at her birthday (which, THANKFULLY, was not her actual birthday) but, at her tenth birthday party last year, her Uncle on her father’s side committed suicide on the railroad tracks right behind the house!! The poor little things said she doesn’t want to celebrate her birthday anymore and she just turned 11 years old!!!
There was absolutely NO THOUGHT GIVEN to the children that were still at that house and the affect this would have on them FOREVER!!
Thanks, RichieC! We appreciate your thought for Lexi!!!
Thanks, Heather!! LOL!! YES - I KNOW CHRIS IS LAUGHING AT ALL OF THIS!! My husaband and some others have told me over the past couple years that I need to enroll in law school!! LOL! Maybe I should put some thought into it!! (I could just NEVER defend someone I knew was 100% guilty of a cold blooded crime!! I would have to excuse myself from ANY case like that!!)
I hope the family is doing well, Heather!! We’ll see everybody tomorrow!! Have a good day, all!!
I did know both kevin and chris and kevin was definitely the lesser of the two evils. funny, even though kevin was the plaintiff in the domestic violence case you want to bring it up. you are pathetic. kevin wasn’t # 3 on harford county’s 10 most wanted list. again, kevin was definitely the lesser of the two evils. who are you kidding. you werent there, so you have no right to run your mouth the way you are.
tell me this terri, do you know the victims chris burglarized or beat up or did his crimes too? maybe if you did you would realize what the others were saying. nephew, friend or not, he wasnt innocent in any of this mess.
if you were so upset about chris, why are you spending all your time on this blog? whos making their name now?
free kevin
i don’t think kevin has even ever been in a fist fight before. i can’t imagine he would do something like this. why didn’t someone stop this before it spiraled out of control. so many lives are ruined. chris’s, kevins, both families, all the friends on both sides…. out of the 7 people there, why didn’t some one say chris leave or kevin put the gun down. is that too hard to do? i mean serioiusly, they bickered all night why didn’t yvonne tell chris to go home. why didnt he just leave on his own? why didn’t kevin say get out of my house? why are they allowing this too happen. instead of stopping the fights, they take lexy for a walk? its a good thing they did, but instead of being instigators, they should’ve stopped the drama. why was chris even over there when they didnt get along? that is just asking for trouble on yvonne’s part.
everyone knows kevins criminal record and most of it was from his very young years. you people are so defensive and trying to take chris’s record and make it non existant while posting kevin’s record. uh hello, the news reporters have already done that! people know both had criminal records. kevin still wasnt on the most wanted list. i do think that the people asking about yvonnes involvement in this have a point. she is not innocent. where is she now, still living in kevin’s house where chris was killed. i’m sure she will live there for free until they forclose on it. she is very evil and bad to have caused all this mess and then had the balls to go on local news. she didn’t even seem upset about any of this mess. what a horrible person. she does belong in jail. she instigated the whole thing. she ruined her own daugher’s life. some kind of mother she is.
you only argue what you want, not the whole story or facts. thats not a good lawyer
Hey” sick to your stomach” from what I understand Yvonne is so “high” right now she does not know who she is talking to! Just someone please help those children~ They are the real victims in this crime. They lost a dad and possible a step dad and mother that is on drugs! Someone save those kids please!
It would appear to me as richiec & jackie have pointed out the real victim’s are the kid’s left to suffer.they will need mental health counseling as soon as possible. post traumatic stress is a real & present danger. it can appear suddenly or appear years after the incident.
what has happened can not be changed. but there still help & hope for the little one’s left behind so they can lead a normal life.
well there went the peace >richie and last time i knew i was thinking about the precious children ANd their father , and to the one who said why are we on here if we are so upset….this is NO different then talking right ..so there is your answer! The children ARE what matters now they will never see there fathers face again and i pray it dont ruin them forever.Yvonne.high what a surprise i didnt even know her and i only imagine she has to face herself too.that sucks,i dont hate kevins family either i only pray they find peace in there lives and the children too. terri states the facts people dont wanna hear>isnt that what lawyers do?minus the fact shes not lieing the family will see eachother tomarrow uncle johnny,cousin casey,heather,tracy,aunt debbie,aunt la la we love ya chris
I just hope that all the family members on here are playing an active role in the childrens lives right now. IF the mother is having drug issues now someone needs to step in and get the children to a more stable enviroment.
As for the “free Kevin” crowd- put yourselves in chris’ families place. If chris would have killed Kevin would you want him walking around free? I doubt you would. Its horrible that he has to be in prison but ultimately he chose to do that. Provoked or not it was still a choice. With choices come consequences and sometimes they are hard and they suck but Kevin had a choice. In a moment of fury he chose the wrong response.
God bless both the families. May there be some peace and stability for the children.
So sad…those who expariance family violance often repeat it…so sad.
The one thing I ask is that after acting like a child in adult skin dont expect me to treat you like your an adult now after any of you sat back, like a kid on a schoolyard, and let this happen.
Mabey our real problem is the lack of many, many more juvinall officers and health and human services officers to nip this stupidity in the bud.
Its a shame that many of our adults seem to think acting like a 14 year old at 30 is OK.
Every death is followed by what saints the victom and aggressors were…please…lets take a good look !
Go Dagger !
I’ll bet many of the ghetto dwellers here don’t relize that most people in this world never get arrested…..NEVER GET ARRESTED! Isn’t that foreign to you?
Go Dagger !
ive never been arrested, and neither have any of my family members. i have a very good job and am a productive citizen. so no, it is not foreign to me!!!!!!!!
Look nobody is going to win this fight. Terri, cousin Heather, Jacki, you all have your feelings and have every right to feel the way you do. It was your loved one that has been taken regardless of what his past was.
to free kevin and all the others on that side, you have the right to your opinions as well. Regardless of what Kevin has done and his past record, he is still your friend or family and you will support or back him and love him unconditionally no matter what he has done.
Knowing all of this, neither side is going to convince the other side or make them see what they feel whole heartedly.
I dont really think that the people supporting Kevin agree with what he did, or can even really believe what he has done, but feel they should still support him right or wrong. that is unconditional love just like chriss family is unconditionally loving and supporting him and his past.
Neither one of kevin or chriss past has anything to do with the current event.
Please someone take those children from Yvonne. Those children are so innocent and have been through so much. They dont need to see their mommy high. It is awful to see your parent high, at any time, but when their daddy was just killed by their uncle at one of their birthday party, to see their mommy high as a kite on top of all that is forever damaging. Please to the ones that let this fight escalate and go as far as it did, don’t stand by and watch these kids suffer anymore. Take them from Yvonne. She will probably be high as a kite for quite some time considering all the guilt she must have considering she caused most of this. Those beautiful children shouldnt suffer because she is a worthless wife, girlfriend and mother.
society has raised their children as spoiled pathetic little brats. they never grow up and feel that it is ok to behave like 14 year olds and never become adults even when they are 30 & 40 years old. it is so sad. what happened to the real men and women of the world?
Jackie: Thank you for the update on Yvonne. Do you know if her children have been taken from her yet? I feel so sorry for those precious babies.
Thank you again.
Yvonne has her daughter, who is not Chris’ daughter, she is his step-daughter, and their son, Hayden. We have no idea that anything has even been said about Yvonne’s children. I guess, since she’s at her Mom’s house, that her Mom has been doing the biggest part of caring for them. As many times as we’ve seen her out and about, taking everything that belonged to Chris and selling it, pawning it, whatever … the kids have not been with her at all. Chris’ oldest son, my nephew is here at my house. We have been allowing him to talk about anything that comes to his mind whenever he needs to. Just like everyone else, he has his ideas about what happened and who’s to blame too. We are preparing, now, to take him to pay his respects to his father. I’ll bet no one on here who wants to “free kevin” has never seen a 10 yer old boy prepare to tell his father good-bye. Maybe you should!! It may put what Kevin CHOSE TO DO into perspective!!
**************************************************************************************
Chris - you were never what anyone would consider a “good boy”! You had your way of thinking and everyone else could take it or leave it - didn’t matter to you either way! The truth is, the people who liked you liked you A LOT and the ones that didn’t, well - they didn’t A LOT!! That’s obvious here. That still doesn’t change the fact that we should not have to go this morning to pay our last respects to you, and watch your kids do the same thing!! It’s just senseless!! You know - this tragedy has turned this whole town upside down!! It’s just crazy! There’s a whole lot of people left here who love you, Chris! We’ll take great care of Zane - you know that all ready! I HOPE someone will do the same for Lexi and Hayden! It’s such a shame that little baby won’t ever get to know you! We won’t stop fighting to find out the WHOLE TRUTH behind this tragic situation that led to your demise either, Chris!! Count on that!
Rest In Peace, my friend! I love you and I will miss you so much!!
AND - to #60 - “In August 2007, Mr. Fritsche was charged with second-degree burglary, theft greater than $500, theft scheme, malicious destruction of property, trespassing, littering/dumping under 100 pounds and unauthorized cable TV connection.”
YES! I do know the “people Chris burglarized”!! It was his OWN HOUSE that had been sold - the guy from the real estate agency told him anything that did not come with the house he could take because he bought that separately - so, he did! It wasn’t some strangers house he broke into! Every single charge in this report above was from that one incident!
As for the assault - you don’t have to “beat someone up” to be charged with assault!! That’s not always the case!
Most of his other crimes were only doing harm to HIMSELF, not anyone else. I hope that clears that up some.
there have been deaths in everyones family. you arent the first. his children arent the first to have to say good bye to their father. it is a horrible situation, there is no doubt. my heart does go out to the children of chris and his family members. i never said it didnt. i never said that he should be dead, all i have stated is that he couldve left, before this happened. he was 34 he didnt need to sit there and argue back and forth with someone in there own house or threaten them either. this didnt have to be like this. as i have said many times he isnt innocent in this. i dont feel that he should be dead. i never did, but kevin also has the right to defend himself in his own home as everyone else does. if the tables were turned, it would be ok that chris shot kevin in his home to all of you.
whats fair is fair. you all would defend chris if he had shot kevin wheather you agreed with what he had done or not. you would still defend him b/c you love him and regardless of his actions you will stand up for him
i am confused on something… if chris’s crimes were to himself, why is he #3 on the top 10 most wanted list for harford county? that just doesnt make sense to me. just curious.
to the genepool just got cleaner….
you obviously have never met kevin. he was and still is a very nice person from a very nice family. he was good to yvonne and to those children. he would make an excellent father.
i even after what he has done would still have his baby..
I dont know you or your family, but I did know Kevin from growing up. I am so sorry for what you are going through right now. Please be strong and know whatever caused this to happen, it had nothing to do with you. Your daddy is in heaven looking down and watching over you. He will see every game, recital, dance, wedding, etc that you will do. he will always be with you. Always keep him in your hearts. He will live on forever in a much better place.
we have been friends for so long, i love you, i always have i and always will.
i cant believe all of this is happening. i do know that you wouldnt do something like this on your own. you have my complete support.
babyface…a first on the dagger….ohy vey
Go Dagger
richiec - ur point??? u obviously never knew kevin either
i agree w free kevin…..
he should be home free w his loved ones..
i will contribute 2 his lawyer. he was provoked & pushed over the edge.
TO THIS ONE - “i am confused on something… if chris’s crimes were to himself, why is he #3 on the top 10 most wanted list for harford county? that just doesnt make sense to me. just curious.”
Why was he #3 on the most wanted for Harford County? Fot carrying a concealed weapon in his personal vehicle. It was unloaded and there was NO ammunition found any where in the vehicle. He was supposed to go to court but, his “step-mom” passed away and he wanted to attend her funeral so he said “the hell with them … let them come get me!!” That’s why! If you would read everything … word for word … I explained those charges that had been quoted before! These had not been asked about. UNLIKE KEVIN - he did not have a loaded weapon carrying it around with him with one target in mind! And - I’ll leave that at that!!!!!!!
This whole thing is just UTTERLY disgusting!! His services are over and now it is time to set forward with making DAMN SURE EVERY SINGLE PERSON WHO CONTRIBUTED TO THIS SITUATION IS HELD ACCOUNTABLE!! Kevin is all ready in jail and will be for the rest of his life … the rest remains to be seen but - we will not give up on ALL OF IT!!! Heather, Crystal, and all the other family and friends of Chris who keep reading this - make NO MISTAKE - this is far from being over! There’s a lot of unanswered questions and I”m headstrong on making DAMN SURE those other people are made to answer!! For Zane and HAyden Fritsche … we will not stop!!
Thank you to everyone who I saw at the services and made sure everyone in the immediate family was doing okay! It was tough because there was certain people there that none of us cared to have to look at but - you have to do what you have to do! It was nice to meet you, Heather, and Chris’ Uncle John! We will fight to keep Chris’ memory alive! Thanks again for your support for us on this side!! :p
heres my point
“i even after what he has done would still have his baby..”
babyface on August 17th, 2008 11:41 am
A trigger pulled and all you can do is say…it was this and that…..
Simple fact…who pulled the trigger….thats who is to blame…and those who share moral baleme are those who try to justifie all this crap off.
Who looses…the innocent kids and society in general…and the trigger man and victom to an extent !
I can imigine this excusing away and justifieing went on through all of all the principals lives…and here is your result…are you proud…I hope not !
Go Dagger !
If Chris had been the one who pulled the trigger - I can honestly say - speaking for myself, of course - that I would NOT be standing or sitting ANYWHERE trying to tell people that he did not deserve to be sitting in jail!! SELF DEFENSE is the ONLY reason there will EVER be for blowing a father’s head off - AND SELF DEFENSE IS NOT THE CASE HERE!! It states PLAINLY in the article about kevin’s bail review hearing that he “shot and killed and unarmed man”! That should be plain enough for everyone to understand! If Yvonne had not taken him up there to begin with, this never could have happened! Chris was on his cell phone trying to get a ride home - Yvonne should have brough him home when she brought my son and nephew home!! He WAS trying to find a way to get out of there - SEVERAL people have told us that! My biggest question is - in the time it took for Kevin to go to his bedroom, get the gun, load the gun and come back - if Yvonne was “so damn worried about Chris” why didn’t she make sure he was out of the house - at the end of the driveway … somewhere where Kevin couldn’t have killed him! And, as for the “other 7 witnesses” I gues they all thought it was f****** funny or something - they could have - and should have - kept Kevin going to the kitchen with the gun! NOT 1 F****** “PERSON” WHO WAS THERE DID A D*** THING TO KEEP THIS FROM HAPPENING!! I have my thoughts on why, but I can’t state them here … the rest can come up with there own reasons and see if it makes any d*** sense to them! FREE KEVIN MY ASS!!! PUT THE REST OF THEM IN THERE WITH HIM! THEY’RE JUST AS GUILTY - BOTTOMLINE!!!!!!!
Many call me an asshole for saying what I feel…some times…(make that) most times…it makes them uncomfortable to hear what I have to say…those in HdG who couldnt stand that they were and are wrong…those in the county who couldnt…those in the state who couldnt.
Why is it so important to so many that they cannot take criticizm. Many dont want to give criticizm for fear of rejection….and we all loose by not having an overall moral compass as a set of norms guiding us. We wind up with a society that is living a fantasie when no one stands up and says…THATS wrong…for fear of rejection. Noone says….its wrong to be pregnant with your second at 16….its wrong to drop out of school to work at the frozen food whse for a few hundred a week…its wrong to argue that kids should be allowed to drink…its wrong to be a thug…its wrong to piss on our rights (for you hdg administration)……its wrong to steal…its wrong to be a lier…..its wrong to cow-tow….its wrong to impress on kids that you can weasel out of the offenses that no kid should be involved in…its wrong to let a kid think probation at 15 is ok…wrong…wrong…wrong…so stop all this bullcrap and face reality that a murder took place…a man took a gun and blew somones braines all over the wall…stop excusing it off.
Go Dagger
PS…if that sounds vile….its cause murder is !
Way to put it RichieC!
And now at glancing at the fish wrapper AKA the record…a publication that long ago lost site of the fact that the press was considered the fourth branch of govt by our founding fathers (a watchdog defacto on govt)….I have noticed that a my-space fuede is brewing along with death threats and rumbles.
When and where does it end?
Go Dagger
ps to above…
its not about the pylsville murder….this is another rumble brewing.
Meh, all I can say to the response below is this. Make sure you check to see if he has more than one branch in his family tree.
Hope this Helps
===========================================================
babyface on August 17th, 2008 11:41 am to the genepool just got cleaner….
you obviously have never met kevin. he was and still is a very nice person from a very nice family. he was good to yvonne and to those children. he would make an excellent father.
i even after what he has done would still have his baby..
I went to the memorial services today…and the gathering afterwards. It disgusts me to know that Yvonne has Chris’ ashes with her…and that she has any kind of say in any of this. Do these people that are putting her that high on the pedestal have any idea that she was LIVING WITH THE MURDERER???????? And her family……her mother and her sister……who couldnt stand Chris while he was alive…..were there, acting like they cared for him………???!!!!!????!!!!
UUUGGGHHH!!!! I had to bite my tongue MANY times today.
I agree that the children should be taken FAR AWAY from Yvonne….AND HER MOTHER AND SISTER. They would be much better off. I observed her today. And I realized that you cannot look at her and see any remorse or guilt. She has other things on her mind. Be it more drugs, more money that she could be entitled to, or just that she was in the “limelight”…..it was obvious that Chris being murdered by her boyfriend does not seem to be weighing much on her mind…..
I hope an investigation is already under way. And I hope she reaps what she sows…….
I have not seen Chris or Herman in a very long time but I was friends with both of them and I can’t believe this happened. I feel bad for Herman He has lost his mom ,dad and now his brother. When I heard he had gotten married and had kids I figured he had calmed down. I guess he didn’t. As for Kevin I only met him a couple of times and he seemed nice enough. I remember Chris called him Kevin sore dick he was a funny guy. Chris had a lot of problems but was a good guy and I think people should try remembering the good times they had with him. Kevin deserves to go to jail but I’m sure no one can punish him more than he will punish himself. He has to live with the fact that he killed one of his best friends and he can never take it back. My heart goes out to his children and his brothers, I’m very sorry for your loss. I am also sorry for Kevins families loss as well.
i have been reading this since chris was murdered i dont care about anyones record kevin is not a judge for how chris’ life should of ended just like we are not the judge of what should happen to kevin we can all sit back and pick sides its not about sides its right and wrong i knew chris and his record is his record just like kevin who i never knew and sure chris hadst stood up because everyone keeps talking about him being wanted and faced those charges BUT HE WAS A GREAT MAN AND A GOOD FATHER and like kevin decided chris’ fate i hope someone does not decide his his girlfriend jess i hope your good if you ever need to talk go to kims terri i dont know you but i think you are a awesome person take care of zane there is really noone left i could not attend the service though i really wanted to my heart hurts for you all was herman able to attend i wrote to him might not help much but might ease the pain i cant believe on the day they put you to rest chris people still bicker about right and wrong hope your with your with your mom dad and uncle jd i am not near your kids now but god will put me where i am suppose to be in all this i will miss you sorry i wasnt there to say goodbye to all the family be strong for the kids and bunny if you were part of this it all comes back to you the drugs wont ease that
TO TIKI:
No. Herman was not able to be there. We all knew he wouldn’t be but … if he writes you back, and you write him again - please let him know that there are people out here who are going to see to it that there is FULL justice for his brother!! Thanks for caring about the family! It is much appreciated!!
TO “ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING”
I was at both things today too. The gathering afterwards was at my Dad and Step-Mom’s house and it was, just as you said, THE MOST DISGUSTING THING” that I have ever seen as well! She carried his ashes around from table to table like it was a trophy! OMG! Not one tear EVER fell from her eye … NOT ONE!! Her daughter was so distraught and she sat there beside her giving her hugs but, still not one single tear! I think she enjoyed every single minute of it! Her mother and them, who didn’t want a damn thing to do with Chris, sat there like they were something special … holding HIS little boy, Hayden, like nothing had even happened!! OMG! This was one of the hardest days of my entire life! So many emotions … and not quite sure how to sort them all out! I can’t wait to see how this all turns out! I am determined … THE TRUTH WILL PREVAIL!!
Thanks for being there today! Zane does appreciate all of the love that has been shown for his Daddy!! :p
terri it was nice to meet you and all the rest i havent met.Chris’s children broke my heart yesterday at the service it was so hard to watch Zane.My dad and the rest of my family didnt go the the gathering i personally had a bad feeling in my stomach we just didnt want to see any thing else happen(if u know what im mean)and like i said before i have never met yvonne and i couldnt bring myself to say a word to her i saw no tears and damn all those pictures were mostly her and chris whats wrong with that,thats crazey his heartbroken girlfriend was falling to peices in the BACK of the funeral she should have been holding the ashes not yvonne!Zane we love you to!
HEATHER:
Yeah! You got that right! Yvonne SHOULD NOT have his ashes! They were separated for 2 years, as she publicly announced on the news! It just makes me SICK! The whole thing is just disturbing! It seems A LOT of people noticed her lack of emotion! Stunning, huh?
I think that Chris’ family needs to make sure those kids are not with Yvonne. If all fails call social services and get an emergency custody ordered. She is obviously not stable enough to care for those children.
I also hope Kevin stays in jail for a while. I never knew any of them but I dont want a murderer out roaming the streets Im on.
i told you all that yvonne had something to do with this. she hasn’t shed a tear since she watched it happen. i know that she is behind this. she was pitting these two against eachother and pushing kevin non stop. everyone knows it. kevin may have been the one to pull the trigger, but she instigated and pushed for him to do that. she provoaked the whole thing and has from the day that chris and kevin stopped being friends.
she got the end result she wanted.
Hey, ya’ll!! I am Jacki…..Terri’s older sister. I agree 100% with everything she has said. She is definitely stating the facts. We have known the Fritsche boys for more than 20 years….we know the facts!! And what she doesnt know for absolutely sure, she can easily find out from my youngest sister, Cheryl, who is Chris’ oldest son, Zane’s Mother. Cheryl has been VERY involved in Chris’ life since Zane was born and she knows just about everything there is to know about him. I just wanted to clear that up for all of you who seem to want to criticize her for speaking her mind about this mess. Make sure you are 100% correct when correcting someone else.
As for what happened yesterday, I am literally sickened. Yvonne strutted around acting like nothing was wrong. And when asked about that night, she simply said she didnt want to talk about it “today”. Not one tear did I see from her. And poor Jessica….Chris’ Fiance’…..was (as the comment above says) was shoved in the back of the memorial service room….crying her eyes out. My Fiance’, Tim and I talked to her for a while yesterday. She lost EVERYTHING. She is now homeless. Chris was her entire world. And I really feel bad for her. I’ll be the first to admit…Jessica and I have not developed a friendship over the years….but dammit, she deserved more than what she got yesterday. It really broke my heart. Someone needs to keep an eye on her. Seriously.
And Yvonne’s family……OMG!!! These people never had a kind word to say about Chris for as long as I can remember……but all of a sudden they turned into the grieving family-in-law…….WHAT THE HELL??? In my opinion, there were MANY people at MY FATHER’S house who didnt belong there. YVONNE and her sister and mother being top 3 on the list.
I will do anything I can to see that justice is served by ALL who had anything to do with Chris’ murder.
Take care, all!
Jacki
P.S. — “Jacki” and “Jackie” are two different people….just so you all know!!!!
and i know he wouldn’t do something like this without being pushed completely over the edge. just because you all know chris so freaking well doesnt mean you know kevin so freaking well. we can speak freely and have the rights to our opinions even if you dont freaking like it.
for all of you that know chris so well then you ought to know that he did screw with kevin every chance he got.
i guess enough was enough
he should go for an insanity defense, clearly he was pushed to insanity with all of yvonnes games and bullshit.
she is a disgusting worthless user and a kaniving little B*tch that got what she wanted and now she gets to go free while kevin sits in jail.
i don’t thnk what he did was right. but i do think she had way more to do with this crap. i really think she pushed this whole thing in motion and set them both up.
every single one of them are victims
who gave that wh*re his ashes anyway? she caused his death, why does she get to keep his ashes.
why didnt chris’s next of kin get the ashes or the woman he was with now?
i am not justifying anything. i believe in kevin and am entitled to my opinion,. clearly i knew him much better than you richiec., you didnt know either one of them did you? i know kevin didn’t just pull the trigger for the hell of it. he didnt kill just to kill.
believe what you want. it is easy for someone who didnt know him to just accuse him of being a cold blooded murderer.
kevin didnt just kill chris for no reason. that is not the person he is.
It would certainly appear as tho this scenario is one that is very well known often called a love triangle. feeling’s were running high on both side’s. and alcohol too fan the flame’s.
To the Dagger Press…..please institute a “Spell Check Option” for these poor illiterate citizens of Harford County!
I think you all need to stop including MY family. Everyone will have their own opinions on either person and that’s the way it’s going to be. People may think that Kevin was just defending himself and that Chris had no right to be there. People (like me) may feel that Yvonne deserves to be in jail right there with Kevin. And people may think that Chris didn’t deserve to die (which he didn’t) There are plenty of opinions in this matter and everyone is not going to agree on one simple thing. It all comes down to the day when Kevin goes to court and the judge makes his ruling. THATS IT! You all need to understand everyone from their points of view and stop arguing.
Kevin’s family- if it was Kevin that had gotten shot in the face for no reason when he was unarmed, you would feel the same as my family.
and My family- if it was Chris that pulled that trigger, you’d be standing behind him 100% saying that he was defending himself against someone in his home.
Just think about that and let the frikkin Judge decide what happens to Kevin.
Oh, one more thing… If no one else will go to the police and tell them that it’s a possibility that Yvonne set this whole thing up, I’ll be the one to do it! If she did set it up, she is an accompliss (spelled wrong) to murder and she needs to rot in prison for that!

Greeting’s mike. it is a known ”fact” the harford county ‘ board of education pride’s them self’s in stateing no ”child” shall be left behind. where shall we ” dump” the blame?
if we browse there web site. we find and assistant to the assistant too the boss we find ” custodian’s” controlling the principal’s. the work in some school’s is sub standard. questioned about this state of affair’s. I’am told were ”layed” back.
I’am not pointing’ any finger’s at our teachers.they can only do so much. it’s our money so the fat need’s ” triming”
Oh, and one more thing. About Yvonne wanting his ashes buried with her… NOT GONAN HAPPEN! Zane, Lexie and Hayden deserve to have something to go to one thier father’s bithday or date of death (unlike me) I RESENT my grandparents to THE FULLEST for not burying my dad or cremating him. I have nowhere to go or nothing to turn to when I just want to talk to “my dad”. Zane NEEDS to have something and I will NOT let Yvonne bury his father’s ashes with her. ZANE WILL NEVER LIVE IT DOWN IF YOU DO THAT TO HIM!
Yes, I am the other Jackie. I did not go to the services on sunday just because I was so affraid that I could not hold back from Yvonne. The messed up thing is she has it all now and Jessica has nothing. Yvonne gets all the money from the property that will be sold and gets to keep his kids too. The best I can hope for is someone to step in and take those kids away! I hope this wakes Yvonne up and she gets clean and raises the kids as they deserve. But I do not think that will never happen……… I bet before to long we will read about her death soon!
Jacki and Chrystal’s mom get them kids please! Keep them far away from her side of the family and raise them with love and lots of it! They will need and deserve it!
Pooh Bear I am sorry you are gone! Your kids will miss you very much and if I get the option I will let them know that you did love your kids very much and tell them all about you when you were young! Pooh watch them from above and give them hope and compassion for all humanity!
Best wishes to everyone directly involved. I just can’t believe that 2 more harford county families are messed up over this!
Jackie- that is why I think she had a part in Chris’s death. So she could get the money from the land, so she could go to social security and get money every month from them. That is my theory of what Yvonne’s motive was.
Oh, and don’t forget when she came to my Aunt Terri’s house the day after he died and was searching and searching for his life insurance policy papers! There’s a good reason to have him killed too!
-Angell Eyesz-
Angell, If that is the facts then yes we should go to Harford county sheriff and say something. Shed some other light on it. If you would like to chat more with me my email is Jadedbtch@yahoo.com please feel free to contact me there!

I would like to say how sorry I am to Chris’s children, family and love ones for your lost !! It is so sad that Chris is gone forever and that Kevin will now have to live with the blood of his, once best friend on his hands. I’m sure if Kevin could turn back time, he would, but he can’t so now he has to live with the fact that he took the life of not only someone he cared for at a time in his life, but he also took away the father of three children that will never really understand why ? Kevin did the crime so yes he should have to do the time for his wrong. There will always be times in our life that we are pushed to the edge, but that does not mean we have to jump, as Kevin did. But no one can go backwards and change what has happen, so now we all must go forward, and try to heal all the broken hearts, both families will be very hurt and bitter for years to come. But the two that will hurt and will never forget, and will live years of pain will be Zane and Lexi, they both have the memory of the dad they both loved and was taken from them, This great lost of their dad will live with them for the rest of their lifes and it is so sad. Yes Hayden has lost his dad, and he will also feel some of the pain, as I know the family will always keep the memory of Chris alive for him, but he is so young thank god he will not have to share the same pain as his brother and sister will always carry heavy in their hearts and minds. I think everyone should stop adding more hurt and hate to what has happened, and think about the children. I believe that Zane will have a lot of love and support from his family, but with all of the hate on Yvonne side of the family, will the other two children have the same support they will need ? I do not understand why Yvonne would be given Chris’s ashes, or why she even would want them, it seem like it would be a slap in the face to Chris’s family on Yvonne part. I feel that Zane should be the one that should have his dads ashes. May God watch over the children, my prayers are with them and the family, Chris may have not of been an Angel on earth, but he is now one of Gods Angels in Heaven. ^j^ Rest in Peace Chris !!
Hey, “Angell” - my sweet niece - Chris had no life insurance, honey. We all knew that right away. If he would have - we would have seen to it that he had a proper burial. That’s why Pop-Pop paid most of everything. As far as Hayden - there’s no doubt in my mind that if he is EVER told anything GOOD about his Daddy, it will be because someone on our side - Chris’ side - had the chance to see him and tell him. That whole family is absolutely DISGUSTING and for Yvonne’s mother and sister to sit there with her and support her knowing damn good and well that she played a HUGE part in this makes me SICK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have been working on the details of what steps to take next in this matter! TRUST ME, PEOPLE - if you don’t know me personally - my sister, Jacki, will tell you - I WILL NOT STOP UNTIL THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO STONE LEFT UNTURNED!! I can’t bring Chris back for my nephew, but I CAN AND I WILL make sure he gets justice for his Daddy!! I have all ready spoken to a couple people involved with the investigation and prosecution of this case. I’m heading out to Belair today and we’re gonna see where to go next! If I can find ANY way AT ALL, that bitch will turn those ashes over to my nephew too! SHE STATED ON THE LOCAL NEWS, WITHOUT A TEAR IN HER EYE (as usual) THAT SHE AND CHRIS HAD BEEN SEPARATED FOR 2 YEARS!!!
“YOU DON’T DESERVE HIS ASHES, BITCH, AND IF I HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH IT, YOU’LL NEVER SEE A PENNY OF ANY MONEY FROM THIS EITHER! NOT AFTER WHAT YOU DID!”
I better go now - that so familiar fury is raging again!! TTFN! Have a great day, folks!!
TO BABYFACE -
Kevin pulled the trigger because HE WANTED TO! HE chose to do it and it’s NO SECRET that he had planned to do it for a LONG, time!! He said it to all of us - INCLUDING YVONNE! That’s PRE-MEDITATED, BABY!!! LIFE IN PRISON!! Exactly what he deserves!!
Maybe YOU don’t know Kevin as well as you thoguht you did! We all KNOW what he had in mind and he got his opportunity when Yvonne took Chris up there!
Enough said!
Insanity defense my ASS!! He wasn’t insane! He wasn’t pushed “to the brink”! He had this shit PLANNED, PEOPLE!! TOTALLY PLANNED - all he needed was for Chris to brought up there! I’m glad these people on here aren’t his defense attorneys! They would be laughed out of the court room for sure! Those “7 witnesses” who, by the way, were all Kevin’s family and friends, ARE NOT the only ones who the police and prosecutors have spoken to! We are restinf very assured that they are doing a WONDERFUL job in this case!!
HOPEFULLY - Yvonne will be sitting in the HCDC with Kevin soon! Maybe they can get married and live happily ever after IN JAIL!! That’s where they BOTH belong!!
Chris is gone and I don’t care how you look at it or twist it or who’s friend you are or even who’s family you are…bottom line is we do not have the right to take another mans life. Regardless of who may have been doing what and who’s criminal record may have been worst and regardless of whether one of them were on harford county’s most wanted list…are you people seriously trying to justify this?!??! Chris was a father, a son, a brother, where is the compassion, where is the heart felt sorrow. I don’t understand. Has the world become such an estranged place that we now justify such a horrible act? I don’t care if they were arguing…I don’t care if they were on the ground fighting…that does not justify a man being killed…what kind of man feels he has the right to shoot another man in cold blooded murder…and at a childs birthday party to boot! Come on people - grow the hell up!
I’m sure both Kevin and Chris’ family’s are grieving - everyone needs to come together and support one another…don’t turn this into a Hatfield vs McCoys scenario. Kevin is the one being charged; not his entire family. Chris been gone just over a week and already people are fighting over his ashes and money…seriously people, is this what happens when we lose a loved one? We don’t celebrate their life, but instead we have people diggin into their records to see just how bad of a person we can paint them up to be to justify their murder? Or fighting the family over money and who is entitled to it?
My opinion…the money needs to be put into trust funds for his children.
This really makes me sick to think the world has evolved into such a horrible place where we try to justify such horrible, senseless acts of violence.
My condolences go out to Chris’ family and my prayers go out to Chris and Kevin’s family. This was a senseless crime that should have never happened.
terri now you are lying. there is no way kevin told you he was going to shoot chris. and if he did, then you are somewhat to blame to since you didn’t tell chris. cause if he knew they were planning to shoot him then why would he go to kevin’s house and put his own life in jeopardy.
you are just as crazy to lie about this as yvonne is for planning this crap
terri:
if you are telling the truth, and this was a premeditated thing, i do agree with you then kevin should be in jail for the rest of his life. i was told that it was self defense because chris came after him and was threatening him in his own home. as i have said from day one, yvonne does play a huge part in this. i do believe that she should be in jail for
