Police said a man has been arrested in connection to the death of a 5-year-old boy in Northwest D.C. The Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) said on Oct. 6, around 9:45 a.m., officers were called to the 4500 block of Connecticut Ave.

D.C. police said Monday that authorities charged a man with murder after three people died as the result of a house fire in Southeast Sunday morning.

Four calls in four days to the same house on 23rd Street Southeast Washington, D.C.: a domestic fight, broken windows and small fires suspected of being deliberately set. One call came just two hours before the raging blaze that trapped and ultimately overcame the home’s three occupants as they slept early Sunday morning.
