FOX 5 News at 11: October 25, 2026

Right now on Fox 5 News at 11, D.C. police are searching for a teen accused of killing another teen in Northeast. What investigators are revealing about that deadly shooting tonight? Plus, a chilly night in some areas across the DMV. There's even more sunshine on the way right before Halloween. Here is a live look from our Fox 5 Skycam network as we track your fall forecast with Jen. And a new memorial opens up on the mall, how it's paying tribute to service members in a modern-day conflict in the Mideast. Fox 5 News at 11 starts right now. Good evening, I am Sydney Persing. We start with that story. D.C. police still searching for a 16-year-old boy accused of gunning down another teen. This happened this morning at a Northeast home. Our Regina Yurita is at MPD headquarters tonight with the very latest on that investigation. Well, there's certainly a lot of questions tonight. Authorities say a teenage boy was shot and killed in Northeast D.C. What's even more disturbing is that police are searching for a 16-year-old suspect. Now, I want to show you what Fox 5 captured earlier this evening. You can see police officers and investigators still on scene near 46th Street and Blaine. The police homicide branch seems to be leading this case. Here's what we know so far. Just after 8.30 Sunday morning, D.C. police responded to the 200 block of 46th Street following reports of a shooting. According to authorities, when officers arrived, they found a teenage boy unconscious with a gunshot wound. Officials say D.C. Fire and EMS rushed the boy to the hospital, but despite life-saving efforts, he did not survive. Police are now looking for a 16-year-old boy described to be the suspect. He was last seen wearing black pajamas and carrying a handgun. At this time, authorities have not released any information on the identities of either the suspect or the victim. We also don't have any additional information on what led up to this shooting. Sydney? A motorcyclist has died after a morning crash in Chilham with an SUV. This happened at the intersection of New Hampshire Avenue and Sheridan Street. Police say the man on his motorcycle died at that scene. The SUV driver and passenger were taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. Investigators, they are still working tonight to determine the cause of that crash. And take a look at this, a restaurant in Fredericksburg sharing details on alleged vandalism from an unruly customer. This happened last Thursday at Agave Bar and Grill on William Street. And there are reports someone got upset, broke a window, and wrote hateful messages on the outside of the building. No one was hurt, and police responded to that scene. There's going to be a bond hearing tomorrow morning for the man accused of taking a sledgehammer to the Iwo Jima statue in Quantico. Miguel Soriano is in custody tonight facing vandalism charges. The Marine Corps Heritage Foundation has launched a fundraising campaign now in the meantime to restore the monument. The limestone statue at the Marine Corps base in Quantico was vandalized Wednesday, and officials say the damage, it's going to cost hundreds of thousands of dollars to repair. All right, turning now to weather on this Sunday night, a live look from our Arlington camera overlooking the monument. Jen is here this hour with a first check on our forecast. So many great events, Jen, this weekend across the DMV, and wonderful weather for them all. Yeah, I know. It was great for the Marine Corps race, and you said there's another big race on Tuesday. On Tuesday, concert yesterday, great weather too. I mean, spectacular. It's so shocking that it happened for the weekend, but it's going to continue as we go all the way through Saturday. Potentially sunny Sunday, Sydney, as we look ahead for us tonight. We will have another chilly start to the day as those overnight lows will fall into the 30s and the 40s. We'll see a chance for some more of that frost to set up to start off your Monday morning. But after that, you come home from school or work and you just wear a light little jacket. High temperatures will be in the 70s and it gets even warmer for this week as we have a weekday warm up on the way. And then we will stay dry through the end of October. How do you like that? Just put away the umbrellas for the rest of the month. We check outside at the airport. Winds are calm. Our temperature is at 54 degrees and we've had clear skies around. We look at the numbers across the area. We're at 41 degrees in Frederick, 49 degrees in Quantico. And as we look at temperatures across parts of the mid-Atlantic, everybody's in the 40s and the 50s. Yeah, we're a little bit cool, but as you go across parts of the Midwest, a lot warmer there. That is where the heat has been locked in. It will continue to build as we go through the next couple of days. They're going to be looking at temperatures in the 80s. While we'll get warmer, we're not going to make it into the 80s. Now, as we look at this satellite and radar loop, high pressure is in control for us, and that is good for us. I tell you what, if you like the cool mornings and the nice, warmer afternoons, you're going to really like the rest of this work week. Tomorrow morning, this is our frost advisory for Montgomery County, Fairfax County, down towards Culpeper, and that goes through 9 a.m. This will be the last of the frost advisories for a while. We don't have colder weather to start off your morning for the next seven days, and even 10 days out, it doesn't look that bad. But tomorrow morning, 6 a.m., our temps in the 30s and the 40s, and then we go by 9 o'clock. We come right back up into the 40s, so we don't have to worry about any frost after that. As you look ahead for the next two days, tomorrow afternoon, sunshine 71 degrees, sunshine in 69 on Tuesday, as another cold front is going to come our way and bring us a few more clouds. We'll talk more about that and, of course, the Halloween forecast in just a few minutes. All right, Jen, thank you. Maryland voters are being asked a major ballot question on congressional redistricting this election. If approved, question three wouldn't directly redraw district maps, but would clear a path to eliminate the only Republican lawmaker in Congress, Virginia, also still facing its redistricting battle where attempts by Democrats in Richmond were derailed by a court decision. And this fight really centers around one key question. Should voters pick their politicians or should politicians pick their voters? Look, it's the oldest political weapon that we have in the country, and right now it's being abused by both sides of the aisle. When we call it mid-decade redistricting, we should really call it mid-decade gerrymandering because it's supposed to happen once every 10 years in a year that ends in zero. The debate over who draws the maps is, of course, a fight over who has power in Congress. With both parties looking to gain an advantage, redistricting remains a key battle in the fight for political control. And Maryland Congressman Johnny Olszewski says he's got an idea now on how voters could bypass Congress. He is promising a constitutional amendment that would let voters directly pass or repeal federal laws through national ballot questions. If passed that law, it would allow citizens to gather signatures equal to at least 5% of voters in the most recent presidential election in at least 25 states, 18 months after the verification. The question would go to voters in the national election. If 60% of Americans were to vote for certain issues, there are restrictions on things like wars, spending, but on policy, if an overwhelming majority of Americans support it, we should be acting. This is a failure for Congress, and that's why we're putting it forward. All right, so that proposal, there would still have to be a really long road to go before it could ever become a reality. It would need two-thirds vote in Congress and ratification by three-fourths of the states to amend the Constitution. And just a reminder, early voting gets underway tomorrow morning in D.C. That'll continue every day between 8:30 in the morning until 7 at night through Sunday, November 1st. Early voting also underway in Maryland and Virginia. Last day for Maryland, Thursday, October 29th. And for the Commonwealth, Saturday, October 31st. Michigan makes some noise to be working with this president. All right, rapper Nicki Minaj there joining President Trump on the campaign trail earlier tonight. With nine days left until the midterms, both parties are trying to boost candidates in battleground states. The Senate race in Michigan, it continues to draw serious national attention between Republican Mike Rogers and Democrat Abdul El-Sayed. And former President Barack Obama, he also made a stop in Detroit yesterday, headlining a rally for El-Sayed. Gas prices in the U.S., they continue to dip during the fall slowdown season. AAA tracking prices across the DMV. The district paying 7 cents more than the national average. That is $4.36 a gallon. Drivers in Virginia paying a little more than a nickel, more than people in Maryland. And there is officially a new memorial at the National Mall. the National Desert Shield and Desert Storm Memorial was dedicated just yesterday near the Lincoln Memorial. It honors those who served and liberated Kuwait in 1991. It marks the final stage of a 16-year-long effort led by Desert Storm veteran Scott Stump, who says the goal is to ensure the successful era in history is never forgotten. I felt that in 2010 that this period of time, all that was accomplished was soon going to be relegated to a footnote in history. It was being totally forgotten. I'd attended a number of veteran events, in fact, where they would recognize people who had served, they had recognized people who had died, and they would go right past it like it never happened. I felt that that was wrong and that something had to happen, and as Phil said, I'm just an average everyday American, but I felt that I had to at least do something to try to set the record straight so the future generations would know what this story was that memorial is funded entirely through private donations from the VFW and the state of Kuwait the Capital Battle of the Bands returning there in College Park HBCUs from around the Mid-Atlantic showing their school pride through music and precision about 10,000 people were expected to be in attendance at the SECU Stadium at the university of Maryland a number of performances took place from Bowie State, Howard, and Morgan State, along with several other schools. Always a great event. All right, coming up, a homecoming for a Nobel Peace Prize winner. What top U.S. officials are saying about Venezuela's opposition leader ending her exile. We will be right back. Nobel Peace Prize winner Maria Corina Machado returns to Venezuela after a 10-month exile, her first appearance since the U.S. military ousted former President Nicolas Maduro. Machado announced her arrival on social media, writing, quote, I am here with you. Her return poses a challenge to interim President Delcy Rodriguez. Secretary of State Marco Rubio released a statement claiming that Machado's return was a direct result of U.S.-supported talks. And Brazil's President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva won his reelection today. Brazil's electoral court announced that the vocal critic of President Trump had a lead of nearly 4.4 million votes. That's close to 52% of the total vote. His opponent has refused to concede defeat and asked for the election results to be annulled. Time now on this Sunday is 11:12 p.m. Thanks for staying up late with us. And we're turning now to weather. A live look from our Fox 5 Skycam at National Harbor. And here is Jen Delgado with your final check of your forecast tonight. Hey there, Sydney. You know, I think probably a lot of people are probably tired because they spent a lot of time outdoors this weekend, right? Because the weather was so nice. I mean, of course, people coming in town for the Marine Corps race and just so many events. It's starting off the morning certainly cool, but the afternoons have been fantastic. And as we look ahead for this week, we have a sunny week ahead. And tomorrow, it'll be a warmer day outside, high temperatures near 70 degrees. And we're going to get warmer as we go through the next couple of days. Our temps right now, a lower 40s for Frederick and the same for Manassas and 44 degrees in Gaithersburg and a little bit warmer down towards the south. We have 49 degrees in Quantico. So for tomorrow, we will see sunshine to start and some areas of some patchy frost to start off your Monday morning. Winds are calming with those temperatures being cool. Of course, there will be a chill to the start of the day. That means some low temperatures are going to try to get down into the lower 30s. But the areas that you're seeing in blue are the regions that we're looking at the frost advisory. We're looking at you, Montgomery County, as well as Fairfax down towards Culpeper. The growing season ended this morning for parts of Frederick as well as Loudoun County because those temperatures were pretty low. So we're certainly seeing that growing season coming to an end. Typically for D.C., we see it ending right around November the 17th. Now, as we look at our satellite and radar with the clear skies as well as the calm wind, this is all thanks to high pressure locking in on us. And tomorrow morning, it will be a chilly day, right? Unseasonably cool. But notice how those temperatures are going to rebound pretty quickly. By 6 a.m., we'll have those temperatures in the 30s and the 40s. And then by 9 a.m., we're back into the 40s. And this will be the last threat for any frost advisory as we go through the next seven days. Even into the following week, those temperatures don't even look really that cool. So we look ahead for our future cast. And this is Sunday. Certainly, we've had quiet conditions. But we jump ahead to Monday, 5 o'clock. You're heading home from work, to school, from school. And then we jump ahead to Tuesday, another mostly sunny day, a little bit cooler. And then those clouds are going to be working in for Wednesday. Wednesday will be a partly sunny day. It will still be a good-looking day and a comfortable day, just a touch cooler. But as we look ahead for us, those low temperatures in the 40s and the 30s, and then for tomorrow afternoon, there's your high, 71 degrees in D.C., 67 in Quantico, and then 70 degrees for high out of Dulles. Now, if you're ready to get out there for some leaf peeping, and we're starting to see more color change happening, but we still haven't made it to high color changes. You go over to the west, when you look at west of I-81, closer to West Virginia, you do have some high colors as well as peak and past peak. But typically for us, we start to see our color change coming at the end of October, which is this week because November 1st is Sunday. And then for east of Interstate 95, we typically see it going into November. It looks like we're running just a little bit behind based on what we're seeing so far. But if you are hoping to go out for the next couple of days in your seven-day forecast, Monday is going to be a nice day. Tuesday is going to be a nice day. Wednesday, partly cloudy. Thursday and Friday, that's when we rebound. We have high temperatures climbing into the upper 70s by the end of the week, Sydney. I know so many kids are so excited to have Halloween next Saturday. And, of course, we go into Monday. That's when we fall back. We have sunset at 5.07. And pretty good Halloween weather, I would say. Fantastic. You don't have to put on a plastic bag for rain or anything like that. So nice. Enjoy the costumes. That's what we did back in the day. And thanks. Yes. Okay, good night, Chad. Well, today, thousands of runners hit the streets of D.C. and Northern Virginia for the 51st Annual Marine Corps Marathon. Fox 5's Chad Ricardo was at the finish line where the stories of perseverance, they were just as powerful as the race itself. That's right, guys. We're talking about the passion. We're talking about the energy. We are talking about the endurance. It's the 51st Marine Corps Marathon finishing here in Arlington, Virginia. 26.2 miles, thousands of runners, and one unbreakable spirit. Welcome to the 51st Marine Corps Marathon, a race in which runners push themselves to the breaking point for worthwhile cause. Left ankle, left hip, right foot, some hamstring issues, but we finished and that's the most important thing. Born in 1976, this iconic race began as a way to bridge the gap between the military and civilians. Fifty years later, it's become one of America's largest marathons. And oh, what a journey. From Arlington, across the Potomac, through historic Georgetown, past the Kennedy Center, along the National Mall and its iconic monuments, before returning to Virginia for that emotional finish at the Marine Corps War Memorial. If God blessed you with the ability to do something like running, do it and do it for those that can't. My mom died of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, and it kind of provided me a place to, like, grieve for my mom, but also to, like, celebrate life and everything that you can do. Every mile tells a story. Every stride represents sacrifice. And Fox 5 is told at that finish line. It's not just about how fast these marathoners ran. It's about why they started. It's a 30-year journey. I promised my best friend who died in a plane crash with me, he was an active-duty Marine Corps helicopter pilot, he's buried in Arlington. It's been a hard journey. My wife passed away from brain cancer nine years ago. She was an MD and active triathlete. You know, today I had two angels carrying me down the road. She's tattooed on my right calf. He's tattooed on my left. So bittersweet, you know, I mean, you know, running out, I'm out there running and doing it for those that I love that can't do it anymore. So. Absolutely amazing stories that this is 26.2 miles but it's so much bigger than the what this is all about the why it's the 51st running of the Marine Corps Marathon here in Arlington, Virginia back to you all such a special event our thanks to Chad up next at 11 tonight the debate over data centers continues to heat up the big meeting set out in Prince George's County this week right when we come back welcome back in and let's get a check now on your week ahead there'll be a public hearing on data centers this Tuesday in Prince George's County. The ordinance was introduced last month to remove an exemption that would shorten the time for developmental approval. This is a response to a bill that was passed in 2020 of a county tax exemption to attract more data center projects. That hearing is Tuesday at 10 a.m. at the Wayne K. Curry Administration Building. A final vote is also expected this week on a financing package for the Spirit National Harbor. Earlier this month, Prince George's County Council members approved $250 million in funding for the entertainment venue. Last week, we saw updated renderings that included a site plan showing plazas and parking areas and a shuttle bus location. The amended legislation heads to council for a vote on Tuesday. All right, so to come, a music star beating expectations how her latest album made a big jump on the music charts. We'll be right back. Olivia Rodrigo returns to the top spot on the Billboard 200 albums chart. This comes weeks after playing back-to-back sold-out shows at Capital One Arena. Her album, You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love, surging thanks to a remix of her song, Expectations, with Chappell Roan. Rodrigo is currently on a months-long world tour that is sold out.

We have much more news online for you at fox5dc.com. In the courts with Katie Barlow is next. Thank you so much for watching, and have a wonderful night. Our pockets, which, again, I don't do, but if we see colleagues doing that while Americans suffer, that, I think, reinforces the point. We're going to take a quick break. We'll be right back. We're talking with Maryland Democratic Congressman Johnny Olszewski. On the Hill continues right after this. That's Fox 5's On the Hill. we're continuing our conversation with Maryland Congressman Johnny Olszewski now there is a question a ballot question which you know ballot questions sometimes don't get a lot of attention from folks but this one in Maryland is pretty important it would ask voters if they agree with a statement that there is no hard and fast language in the state constitution on redistricting and that would allow you Democrats who control uh the legislature the general assembly in Maryland to go and redraw your own congressional district, redraw your district as well too. How do you feel about this? Well, I was listening earlier and I agree completely with the sentiment that people should choose their politicians, not the other way around. And it really is unfortunate that we've seen President Trump start this race to the bottom. I understand why Maryland is responding in this way, but my preference, and I'm one of those legislators, one of those members of Congress who is calling for national reform, because I don't think we should be redrawing mid-decade and making these partisan maps anywhere in the country.
