In the days following the Southeast D.C. shooting that killed a young father from Baltimore, police announced a suspect in his death.

Surveillance cameras caught an image of Avery Miller, 27, who is wanted for first-degree murder while armed with a gun. There is a $25,000 reward for information leading to his arrest.

Aryeh Wolf, 25, was found shot shortly before 4 p.m. on Aug. 10; he was pronounced dead later at the hospital. Wolf, a solar panel installer, was working on a project on the 5100 block of Call Place.

National Museum of the American Latino to be housed in historic Smithsonian building

The Smithsonian Institution has decided to put the National Museum of the American Latino into an existing, historic building, rather than constructing a new one. The Smithsonian Board of Regents on Monday designated the Arts and Industries Building, a 145-year-old redbrick Victorian structure located between the Smithsonian Castle and the Hirshhorn Museum, as the permanent site of the National Museum of the American Latino, which Congress authorized in 2020. In 2022, the Smithsonian narrowed its survey for permanent locations for the National Museum of the American Latino and the American Women's History Museum to four locations near the National Mall on land owned by the National Park Service. The Arts and Industries Building, located at 900 Jefferson St. SW, was one of the four sites. New construction on National Park Service land would require congressional approval. However, since the Smithsonian already owns the Arts and Industries Building, the institution can place the National Museum of the American Latino in the existing building without additional legislation.
