Feb. 27--A former wrestling champion from Columbia was charged yesterday with murder, accused of beating another teen to death with an aluminum baseball bat during a melee at an Ellicott City high school that attracted dozens of youths to an apparently pre-arranged meeting in the middle of the night.
Kevin Francis Klink, 18, who graduated from Oakland Mills High School last year, faces a bail hearing today in the death of Robert Brazell, 18, of Ellicott City. They were among about two dozen youths from several Howard County high schools involved in a fight on a Mount Hebron High School athletic field about 12:30 a.m. Saturday, said Sherry Llewellyn, a Howard County police spokeswoman.
Brazell was taken by helicopter to the Maryland Shock Trauma Center, where he underwent two surgeries for a serious head wound. He died Sunday.
Klink was charged yesterday with first- and second-degree murder, first- and second-degree assault, and reckless endangerment.
