PRINCE GEORGE'S COUNTY, MD — Two suspects have been arrested in connection with a recent assault on a senior citizen in Beltsville that left the man, who is in his 80s, in critical condition. The victim remains hospitalized in stable condition. The suspects are 25-year-old Julias Wright of Fort Washington and 44-year-old Christina Felder of Beltsville. Wright has been charged with first- and second-degree assault and reckless endangerment. Felder has been charged with first- and second-degree assault and the solicitation of assault in the second degree. The attack happened June 2 at approximately 7:30 p.m. in a residential parking lot in the 11300 block of Cherry Hill Road. The assault was captured on surveillance video where the suspect can be seen repeatedly striking the victim. The PGPD's fugitive unit located the suspects in a Howard County hotel on Friday. The preliminary investigation suggests Felder and the victim got into a dispute that turned physical over damage to Felder's car potentially caused by the victim when he opened his car door. Felder then called Wright to the scene. When Wright arrived, he assaulted the victim. The suspects are in a relationship, according to the police department. If anyone has additional information relevant to the investigation, they are asked to call detectives at 301-937-0910.
