Good morning, D.C. It’ll be a hot and humid one today, with temperatures in the 80s with the chance of rain in the afternoon.

LEADING THE MORNING NEWS:

  • Rashema Nelson lived in a homeless shelter with her mother and brothers while attending Anacostia High School. This past weekend, she graduated from Georgetown University and is the first person in her family to earn a college degree.

  • A vehicle crashed through the memorial site for Dave Salovesh where 12th and K streets NE intersect with Florida Avenue NE. The Chevy Tahoe hit a parked car and a light pole where a “ghost bike” was chained to memorialize Salovesh, who was killed by the driver of a stolen vehicle at that location just weeks ago. In a separate incident, a woman was hit and killed by the driver of an SUV in Southeast. The woman was crossing the street outside of a crosswalk on Martin Luther King Jr. Avenue SE.

  • Children sent to Junior Village between 1958 and 1972, what was supposed to be a refuge for needy kids, were drugged and raped.
