Teen killed in Northeast DC: Midterms, redistricting and early voting heat up

Right now at 6, D.C. police are on the lookout for a teen wanted for killing a 15-year-old in a shooting in Northeast, where that investigation stands at this hour. Plus, energy and endurance this weekend. More on the test of strength at this year's Marine Corps Marathon. And President Trump has new threats against Iran tonight, just nine days ahead of the midterms. Fox 5 News at 6 starts right now. But we begin this hour with developments out of the district. A 15-year-old boy is dead after a shooting in Northeast. And tonight, police are searching for a 16-year-old boy they believe fired the shots. Regina Ureta is live now near the scene with the very latest on this investigation. Regina? Yeah, well, Sydney, nine hours after a D.C. police confirmed that a teenager was shot and killed here in northeast D.C., you can still see police right behind me. Just a short time ago, they actually had crime tape that continued to block off 46th and Blaine Street. But what makes this even more disturbing, police say they are searching for a 16-year-old suspect. I want to show you additional video that Fox 5 captured. You can see police officers and investigators still on scene. The police homicide branch seems to be leading this case. Now, 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 the victim's name, and there are no details on what led up to this shooting. Again, still seems to be an active scene right behind me. We did notice also detectives about 10 minutes ago coming out of the house right behind me with brown bags, probably evidence from this shooting. But that is the latest details that we're getting from this investigation provided by law enforcement. I'll send it back to you. All right, Regina, thank you. A motorcyclist has died after a crash in Chilam this morning. Police say it happened at the intersection of New Hampshire Avenue and Sheridan Street. That motorcyclist was pronounced dead at that scene. The driver and passenger were told were taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. Investigators, we know, are still working to determine the exact cause of that crash. All right, time to get a first check on your forecast this Sunday evening, taking a live look across our region. A little chilly but sunny this Sunday, and we are expecting a bit of a warm-up heading into next week. But don't put your coats away. Jen Delgado is here now. And, Jen, I got to tell you, I was out at the Marine Corps Marathon today. Amazing weather for those runners. Yeah, absolutely perfect. You don't want it to be too hot. You don't want it to be too cool. It's like Goldilocks. You want it to be just right. And today was the perfect day for it. You and I couldn't run in any weather, but for those trained runners. But we can watch people run in weather. And it felt lovely. We can do that. We can cheer you on. And hopefully everybody had a great race. We love the Marine Corps race for sure. Now, what we're looking at for tonight, another chilly night on the way. Those overnight lows going down to the 30s and the 40s. But then the 70s are going to make a return. Now, the good news is you can put away your umbrella because we are going to stay dry as we go all the way through October. As we look at our temperatures across the region, we're in the 60s, 59 degrees in Winchester, 63 degrees out of Dulles and 63 degrees in Quantico. We do have another night that we're going to be looking at frost advisories. Now, for this morning, the temperatures were so low it ended the growing season in Frederick, as well as a good portion of Loudoun County. But these are the other counties right now. They're under the threat for some frost for tomorrow morning. Now, we look at our planner tonight. We will keep those skies clear, temperatures in the 50s. And then after about 4 o'clock in the morning, that's when those temperatures are really going to be dipping. Here's your view of the satellite and radar. High pressure is in control for us. We keep it nice and dry. And then as we look ahead for Monday morning, look at that temperature getting down to 36 degrees in Manassas, 42 degrees in Frederick, and then 38 degrees in Frederick. Now, as we look into tomorrow afternoon, high of 71 degrees. Now, the good news is those overnight lows are going to moderate by the time you head out the door Tuesday and Wednesday morning because they'll be back in the 40s as well as the 50s, so it won't be as chilly to start off as we get past tomorrow. But here's your high for tomorrow afternoon, 71 northwest winds, 5 to 10 miles per hour, running just a couple degrees above average. But we're going to flirt with the upper 70s this week and talk more about your Halloween forecast. And tonight, Sidney, it's the last night for a 6 p.m. sunset for a Sunday until 2027. Oh, we don't need to say that again. All right, Jen, thank you. We are just now nine days away from the midterms, if you can believe it. President Trump made another campaign stop today in Michigan. The president, of course, looking to boost Republican House candidates in the battleground state. The Senate race in Michigan, also a real big one, drawing national attention between Republican Mike Rogers and Democrat Abdul El-Sayed. Former President Barack Obama also made a stop in Detroit yesterday, headlining a rally for El-Sayed. Meantime, Maryland voters are being asked a major ballot question on congressional redistricting this election. If approved, Question 3 wouldn't directly redraw district maps, but it would clear a path to eliminate the only Republican lawmaker in Congress. Virginia is also still facing its redistricting battle there, where attempts by Democrats in Richmond were derailed by a court decision. And this fight centers on one big 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 also 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 now has an idea on how voters could bypass Congress he is proposing a constitutional amendment that would let voters directly pass or repeal federal laws through national ballot questions if passed that would allow citizens to gather signatures equal to at least five percent of voters in the most recent presidential election in at least 25 states 18 months after verification, the question would go to voters in the next 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. Now, this proposal would require a long road to becoming reality. It needs a two-thirds vote in Congress and ratification by three-fourths of the states just to amend the Constitution. And just a reminder that early voting gets underway tomorrow morning in D.C. That will continue every day between 8.30 in the morning and 7 p.m. at night through Sunday, November 1st. Early voting is also underway in Maryland and Virginia. Last day for Maryland is Thursday, October 29th, and for the Commonwealth, Saturday, October 31st. Today, thousands of runners hit the streets of D.C. and Northern Virginia for the 51st Annual Marine Corps Marathon. Chad Ricardo is at the finish line for the stories of perseverance, 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 M.D. 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, I'm out there running and doing it for those that I love that can't do it anymore. 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.
