are. but i'm still doing it. >> reporter: seen here performing in the birthday bash, redz recalls how the 18-year-old impressed him in the short time that he's known him. >> he showed me a young man with a drive. a young man that was consistent. a young man that showed up and a young man that got it. >> reporter: but a young man who has now been silenced, not only to his fans, but to his family. >> to his mother, he was towing las brooks. he was just her baby. and she no longer can see his face anymore. she no longer can tell him i love you anymore, because somebody felt the need to cut his life short. >> reporter: derrick ward, ne 4 news4. >> we've got details about another young man killed in our area overnight. 24-year-old dante miller was shot and killed in northeast. somebody shot him multiple times early this morning along 18th place and maryland avenue. so far, no motive or arrests in this case.

amelia draper has been tracking the activity on twitter and facebook. so, are we done? we get another round of this? what's the word? >> i'm still tracking one shower out there on storm team 4 radar. this is moving toward the south and east, impacting parts of the beltway. you can see the spread here. buoy, you're liking going to stay dry. if you're following me on twitter and facebook this afternoon, i was tracking this line of rain and thunderstorms that's now mainly over the eastern shore. so aside from that small shower in montgomery county moving into the district, most of us are dry from here on out. even some peeks of late day sunshine. it is still muggy. it's not going to be until overnight tonight when the humidity levels start to drop and the skies clear out. wait until you see how comfortable it's going to be tomorrow morning. i know we have some kids heading back to school. i'm going to have that forecast and also talking about when we warm back up, coming up in a little bit. >> all right, thanks,

we are working to learn more bedetails after a police responded to a suspicious vehicle a couple blocks from the whie house. this was the scene on 17th and g near the runway gallery. the secret service and police blocked off all the streets in that area. a hazmat team was even on the scene. but then left without taking any action. tonight, the son of marion berry is being remembered. a vigil for christopher berry happened a couple hours ago in the berry farm area. a private memorial was held today for christopher berry as well. a visitation will be held tomorrow from 10:00 to 6:00, and then it will be -- that will be at the temple of praise on southern avenue in southeast. and then a public funeral will follow at the same location at 7:00 in the evening. christopher berry died one week ago. >> a historic house in northern virginia is in jeopardy of being demolished. it dates back to the

and the civil war. but now a developer plans to tear it down. darcy spencer is in mclean with what's being done to try to stop it. darcy? >> reporter: well, erica, the man behind the plan to try to stop this demolition says he just found out about plans to tear down this home a couple of weeks ago, and he has been trying desperately to see if anything could be done to save it. but time is running out. the house sits at virginia avenue here in mclean. its historic significance dates back to when dolly madison hit from the british in this house during the war of 1812. it was originally built in the 1730s. it also has, like you said, civil war significance where it was a headquarters, there were numerous encampments, and abraham lincoln is said to have been here to visit troops. but this house was never preserved or placed on any sort of historic registry. a neighbor says a developer has a demolition permit and

put houses here. this neighbor has reached out to preservation groups to see if something can be done. >> it would just be three more modern houses and a piece of american history would be lost. it would be really tragic. my hope is that somebody will come forward. somebody with the ability will come forward and assist here to save the property. >> reporter: we did reach out to the developer through phone calls as well as e-mail. at this point, we have not yet heard back. no word yet on when that demolition would take place. erica, back to you. >> darcy spencer, thank you so very much. nbc 4 is working for you in the community. it's that time again. back to school. >> yea! we are doing our part to help get students ready. nbc 4

a milestone reached in the silver spring apartment explosion. today we learned that all of the families are out of the shelter and now have temporary housing, but the investigation into the natural gas explosion at the flower branch apartments is far from over. seven people were killed in the august 10th blast, and due to the condition of the bodies, four of the victims have yet to be identified. the investigation could take several months. there's still a mystery

fire and ems pulled a body out of the river near the island this morning. investigators combed the area. right now, we don't know any details or the person or how it was that they died. we do have new details about the off duty firefighter shot yesterday in the district. we've got the police report outlining exactly what happened. the report identifies him as carteo anthony bost. he is a 24-year veteran of the department. according to the report, he was shot on the left side of his face by somebody on a black motorcycle. this happened while he was sitting in his car with his young daughter on southern avenue in southeast. she was not hurt. the firefighters union says he was air lifted to baltimore shock trauma and his prognosis is good. police have not released suspect information or even a possible motive in this case. so it looks like we're starting to see a few peeks of sub, as we show you a liveoo

85 for a high. we're going to start off the day at 69 here in the district. you definitely want your sunglasses as you're heading into work. 69 is the temperature here in washington. as we look to the suburbs, cooler, 64 up in frederick. 63 back in winchester. and 68 in annapolis. so as kids head back to school, comfortable at the bus stop tomorrow morning. heading into work, lunch outdoors. 80 degrees at noon. it's not hot, it's not humid. and we'll have a nice breeze at times throughout the day tomorrow. it's windows open kind of weather tomorrow night. 8:00, we're already around 79 degrees with mainly clear skies. so your monday outlook at the bus stop looking good for students in frederick county, both in maryland and virginia. i want to wish you the best of luck for your school year. outdoor exercise perfect. lunch outdoors comfortable. if you're going to have your dinner out, 70s and 80s as you dine outside. humidity levels, not just tomorrow, but through thursday are going to be nice. it's comfort o

this is the xfinity sports desk. >> team usa men's basketball taking home the gold. >> yes. >> the final day. >> no doubt. >> they won by 87 points. not exactly 87. but it was a blowout from pretty much start to finish. really, this was not a ball game at all. no lebron james. no stephen curry on this year's olympic basketball team. and a lot of people thought they were nervous about this group's chances about three-peating as gold medal winners. the americans had three wins by single digits these olympic games. close games, something we're not used to seeing when talking team usa basketball. but the guys did save their best for the gold medal round.

more toward the east. bowie, annapolis getting some of this activity. the weather really looking great. we have the battle of the beltways in baltimore, as well as the district. erica, you're heading to wolf trap. >> very excited. aretha and ricky, i'm coming your way. thanks so much for joining us. that is the news for now.
