Attorney General Brian L. Schwalb has filed a lawsuit against Kiihomes, LLC and its former owners, accusing them of endangering tenants at a newly built 40-unit apartment building on Dix Street NE.
According to the Office of the Attorney General, the developers ignored safety regulations, skipped required inspections, and rented units despite serious hazards—including exposed wiring, lack of fire alarms, and poor weatherproofing. Schwalb said the owners “put profits over people” by repeatedly defying city orders to fix the problems.
The lawsuit seeks restitution for tenants and civil penalties against the former owners.
A Prince George’s County family is grieving the sudden loss of Alden and Helianthe Monkou, who died last week from carbon monoxide exposure inside their Largo home. Fire officials said three people were rescued from the residence, with the couple later dying at the hospital.
Loved ones describe the Monkous as selfless and generous, known for opening their home, sharing meals, and offering prayers to anyone in need. To help cover funeral expenses, relatives launched a GoFundMe campaign that has already raised more than $38,000 of its $45,000 goal from over 300 donors.
The family says every contribution or share helps ease the burden as they prepare a meaningful service to honor the couple.

Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-DC) has introduced legislation requiring National Guard members and other armed forces deployed in the District under presidential orders to wear body cameras, mirroring the Metropolitan Police Department’s program.
Norton said the bill is a direct response to President Trump’s emergency crime order, which has stationed more than 2,000 troops in D.C. She argued that body cameras would ensure accountability, promote transparency, and protect both residents and service members.
Calling the deployment “a raw assertion of power” over D.C.’s 700,000 residents—most of whom lack voting representation in Congress—Norton urged the administration to withdraw the troops and pressed colleagues to back her proposal.
Nearly 400 residents joined a virtual town hall Monday night led by At-Large Councilmember Robert White, where tensions flared over the presence of federal law enforcement in D.C.
Residents flooded the chat with demands for transparency, criticizing masked officers and questioning their authority and accountability. MPD Captain Jon Dorrough confirmed federal officers often join MPD’s crime suppression teams but admitted MPD has limited oversight, especially when agencies like the FBI take individuals into custody.
Many participants voiced frustration that their concerns went unanswered. White echoed their dissatisfaction, stressing that while local leaders lack control over federal forces, residents must stay engaged in pushing back against federal overreach. The event also included a “Know Your Rights” session from a UDC professor.
Police are investigating a deadly shooting early Tuesday in the 300 block of Anacostia Road SE. Officers found a man shot around 12:24 a.m.; he later died at the hospital.
No suspect information has been released. Anyone with tips is asked to call 202-727-9099 or text 50411
A grand jury has three times refused to indict Sidney Lori Reid, accused of assaulting an FBI agent during an ICE operation outside the D.C. Jail. Prosecutors dropped the felony charge carrying up to eight years in prison and will now pursue a misdemeanor.
Reid’s lawyers say she was arrested for filming officers, while prosecutors argue a magistrate judge already found probable cause. The case is now before U.S. District Judge Sparkle L. Sooknanan.
A Maryland resident has been diagnosed with the rare flesh-eating New World screwworm parasite, federal health officials confirmed. The patient recently traveled to El Salvador, where the parasite is more common among livestock.
The screwworm, eradicated in the U.S. about 50 years ago, spreads when adult flies lay eggs in wounds or body openings, and the larvae feed on living tissue. Officials emphasized there is no significant risk of transmission to the general public.
Trump expanded his federal crime crackdown in D.C. with new executive orders adding Park Police, prosecutors, and a National Guard unit, while moving to roll back cashless bail. Mayor Bowser defended the decades-old bail system and warned against federal overreach.
The White House claims crime is down, but a whistleblower says D.C. police have been downgrading violent crimes, prompting a congressional probe. Despite 1,000 arrests in three weeks, residents in areas like Fairlawn say shootings and drug activity continue.
A 20-year combat veteran was arrested Monday evening for burning an American flag in Lafayette Park, hours after President Trump signed an executive order seeking tougher penalties for the act.
The U.S. Secret Service detained Jay Carey and turned him over to U.S. Park Police, who charged him with setting an unauthorized fire.
Carey said he burned the flag in protest of Trump, whose order pushes for a mandatory one-year jail sentence despite the Supreme Court’s 1989 ruling protecting flag burning under the First Amendment.
MISSING PERSON ALERT: 19-year-old Dacara Rose Thompson has been missing since August 22, 2025, from Lanham, MD. She is a Black female with a medium complexion, 5’2” tall, weighing 105 lbs, with long brown hair and brown eyes.
Dacara was last seen exiting her 2013 pearl white Ford Edge at the Shell Gas Station in the Eastgate Shopping Center in Lanham. Her vehicle was later discovered abandoned in Hyattsville, Maryland, with all of her personal belongings left inside.
Anyone with information is urged to contact the Prince George’s County Police Department at (301) 772-8970 or BAMFI at 877-97-BAMFI.
D.C. will launch a new pilot driver education program on Sept. 22 at Coolidge, Eastern, Jackson-Reed, and Phelps high schools. Mayor Muriel Bowser said the initiative is designed to help students, especially those in career and technical programs, learn to drive safely in the District’s multi-modal environment.
The curriculum will cover not only road rules but also how to share the streets with pedestrians, cyclists, buses, and other forms of transportation. City officials noted the program comes as traffic fatalities have fallen to a 12-year low.
A Charles County man has been sentenced to 10 years in prison for his role in the 2022 drug-related murder of 19-year-old Aden Christopher Garcia in Waldorf.
According to the State’s Attorney’s Office, 27-year-old Dalvin Devonte Risi of La Plata pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit first-degree murder and a handgun charge. Investigators say Risi, co-defendant Ricardo Kevon Colbert-Lyles, and another suspect shot Garcia during a drug deal on October 23, 2022.
Risi was sentenced last Thursday and will face five years of supervised probation after release, with the possibility of life in prison if he violates the terms. Colbert-Lyles pleaded guilty to first-degree murder in May 2025.
The Trump administration’s federal surge in D.C. is overwhelming the courts, with arraignments doubling and stretching past midnight. Legal experts say minor offenses are now being prosecuted as criminal cases, straining judges, attorneys, and jails.
Prosecutors face challenges without clear body-camera use by federal agents and National Guard troops. Delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton has introduced a bill to require body cameras, citing accountability and transparency concerns.

Maryland attorney Scott J. Pichon, 33, has been charged with felony assault for allegedly spitting on two South Carolina National Guardsmen outside Union Station in D.C. One was hit in the face, the other on the neck.
Pichon, licensed to practice law since 2019, was arrested Tuesday and released on his own recognizance. He is scheduled to return to court September 16 unless indicted beforehand. The incident comes amid President Trump’s federal policing surge in the District.
