D.C. police are asking for the public’s help in locating four suspects and a vehicle that they believe are connected to an armed robbery in Southwest earlier this week.

Surveillance video captured the suspects in the 600 block of Wharf Street SW shortly before 11 p.m. Monday, where they got out of a black sedan with handguns drawn, while the driver of the car remained in their seat.

The four suspects demanded property from victims, the victims complied and the suspects fled with their property and money, according to a news release from D.C. police.

Anyone with information on the suspects or the vehicle, or with knowledge of the incident, is asked to call police at (202) 727-9099 or text a tip to 50411.

Below is a map of the approximate area where the robbery took 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.
