4th teenager arrested following Navy Yard Chipotle brawl

D.C. police have arrested a teenager in connection with a fight at a Chipotle restaurant in Navy Yard last month.

A 16-year-old boy, from Northeast D.C., was arrested last Saturday and charged with assault with a dangerous weapon for allegedly using a chair during the altercation.

The incident happened May 16 at a Chipotle on First Street Southeast, where two groups of teens got into a fight in the restaurant before fleeing the scene. Several teens were caught on camera throwing chairs as customers escaped the brawl.

Three other teenagers were arrested on assault charges earlier this month in connection with the melee: a 15-year-old boy from Southeast D.C., a 16-year-old boy from Southeast D.C. and a 16-year-old boy from Temple Hills, Maryland.

The brawl took place amid youth curfews enacted in the District last month and threats from the U.S. Attorney for D.C. Jeanine Pirro to prosecute parents of teens involved in “teen takeovers” in the District.

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.
