The second suspect in the fatal shooting of 10-year-old Makiyah Wilson, 21-year-old Quentin Michals, turned himself in to the Metropolitan Police Department early Monday morning. MPD previously issued a warrant for his arrest on a charge of first-degree murder. On Saturday, police arrested 20-year-old Qujuan Thomas.
-
Metro inspected more than 200 train cars, all 5000- or 6000-series, after a Silver Line train came apart on Saturday while carrying passengers. This type of separation is “extremely unusual,” WTOP reports.
