the potomac. in looking for his killer, detectives discovered a second murder. julie carey joins us from prince william county police headquarters. >> reporter: detectives here have been covering a lot of ground in this investigation. late yesterday, two men and a male juvenile tracked down and captured on a job site outside philadelphia. just minutes ago, we've learned a fourth man also arrested in pennsylvania. now, two women are also charged in connection with this case. they were arrested earlier this month in the popular area. police say there could be more arrests to come. a brutal murder near the banks of the potomac. this is where the body of 21-year-old christian sew sa rivas was found on january 12th. these four adults and one juvenile arrested in connection wite

the body of alexandra reyes was found february 11th in springfield. ten people were arrested last week in fairfax county in connection with her killing. >> we initially thought there was a connection to the victim who was found in fairfax to our case. there are overlapping individuals who know each other and who have a relationship, acquaintanc acquaintanc acquaintances. >> reporter: there is a strong common denominator, involvement in the ms-13 gang. prince william county investigators learned that sew sa rivas has angered clique leaders by falsely boasting he had a leadership role. they decided he would be punished. they then used the social media accounts of female associates to set up the victim. police say he was then murdered. >> there appears to have been an internal conflict within the

that's kind of some indication it was a factor. >> reporter: we don't yet know what contact alexandra reyes might have had with sew sa rivas. >> we hope that it sends a message that we'll go after everybody and everyone who has some sort of ties to any of these cases. >> reporter: these cases both very, very complicated. coming up, i'll take a look at another disturbing connection between the murder victim in this case and a teenaged girl arrested in the other murder case. an about face today from a staunch opponent of fare hikes on metro. this is not the news riders want to hear. now metro board chair jack evans is joining the other transit leaders in backing a plan that

service. the changes would kick in as early as the 1st of july. >> reporter: this is a tough situation for metro right now. and to sum it up, metro is a transit agency that is fast approaching a financial cliff. all they can really hope for now is a bail-out. you are likely going to pay more and get less service on metro. once talked about as a last resort to plug a big budget gap for next year, metro's leaders are saying riders should brace themselves. >> my current position is there will be fare increases and service cuts. >> reporter: metro's jack evans speaking bluntly today about why he changed his mind on fare hikes and service cuts. >> i'm willing to do these actions at the request of the general manager so that starting in july

to congress and the three jurisdictions and say we have done everything we possibly can and we still do not have enough money. now you must step up to the plate. >> reporter: meanwhile, riders, especially those in the disabled community pleading with metro not to cut service or raise fares. >> i rely on metro to get around. i live, work, play and socialize just like you. i just found my freedom. please don't take it away from me. >> reporter: for now, though, an even tougher ride of metro is all but a certainty. coming up next hour at 6:00, wait until you hear what the board chair says is going to happen to metro if they don't find some sort of dedicated funding stream. at the

president trump sat down with a group of ceos from the manufacturing sector to talk about job creation and trade. the president's daughter ivanka also took part in that listening session. before the meeting the ceos participated in working groups along with jobs that focus their aim to discuss regulation and trade and infrastructure. meanwhile in maryland the president's chief of staff and controversial chief strategist appears at the conservative political action conference. steve bannon blasted the media today for what he called an inaccurate portrayal of the president's first month in office. bannon also said every day will be a battle against the media and progressives. he and reince priebus also said the president is keeping campaign promises, calling the administration the opposite of chaos. here at home, news4 broke the story that d.c. mayor muriel bowser was nominating p

newsham as the new police chief. a few hours ago bausecaus bowse official. >> reporter: you know, 30 years, nearly 30 years pete newsham will be a d.c. police officer, he's well liked by many if not most of the rank and file. he makes himself accessible to reporters and to the public. as mayor bowser said today he beat out at least 100 people who applied for the job. peter newsham was greeted with applause from his command staff as he entered the room for the big announcement. newsham said his top priorities will be community policing and building trust. >> if philosophy is that we the police are here to help. >> reporter: his nomination has been met with support from the police union, the district's top

prosecutors and the former chief. not everyone sees newsham as a good choice. marra hilliard is a civil rights attorney who is part of the group that sued the d.c. police department after newsham ordered mass arrests at the imf protests back in 2002. that lawsuit cost d.c. taxpayers millions of dollars. >> he has not learned the lessons of the past. he is a mass violator of civil rights. >> my decision at the time was a decision that i thought was in the best interest of the district. it was subsequently determined that was not the right decision and i have to make decisions in my line of business. but the metropolitan police department learned a great deal from that experience that we've taken to today. i think it was exhibited during the inauguration. >> reporter: last month d.c. police

under newsham's leadership during the riots on inauguration day. >> we're going to have a chief of police who believes he can act above the law, outside the law. >> reporter: today newsham defended the actions police took during the inauguration day riots. >> all of that damage and destruction that they caused to our city was legitimate. six of our police officers were injured. and none of the arrestees were injured. >> reporter: mayor bowser says she did a thorough job of vetting newsham's past record before offering him the job. >> make sure they have not only the experience but the integrity to lead in our city. that's my judgment about chief newsham. >> reporter: now acting chief peter newsham still needs to be confirmed by the d.c. council. there will be hearings over a few weeks that will give the public an opportunity to weigh in. he is expected to be confirmed.

so warm, mosquitos have already arrived in some states. this could forecast an earlier and longer season for zika virus outbreaks. also tonight we've learned that more people who were tested for zika in the district received those false test results. doreen gentzler here with more on that and the race to develop a zika vaccine. >> it was a pretty big shock for people last week when the d.c. forensic sciences department revealed that the zika virus tests they had done on about 400 people were flawed. this afternoon they released some more of those new test results and they show at least one more pregnant woman actually tested positive and six more are now listed as possibly positive after being told weeks and months ago that their zika tests were negative. that's in addition to the two false negatives we learned about last week. all this is a big deal because we know that zika can cause serious birth

now researchers are learning that involves much more than the microcephaly we already know about. >> the more we learn, the more serious it gets. we know now that microcephaly is not the only congenital abnormality. it's kind of the tip of the iceberg. if you look and follow children who were born, even children who look normal, many of them have congenital abnormalities in their brain, they have other structural abnormalities in their joints. >> this collection of birth defects now being called congenital zika syndrome. zika brings on relatively mild symptoms in most adults but it can stay much longer in the bloodstream of pregnant women and could possibly cause serious problems for men. >> when you infect adult male mice with zika, they get te testicular

>> it's impossible to predict where the next zika virus outbreak might happen and how serious it might be. mosquitos don't travel far at all on their own so this epidemic is linked to our international travel. mosquito control is key for prevention, while efforts are underway to develop an effective vaccine. >> we're going probably more quickly than we've gone on any other vaccine. >> this vaccine is well into the phase one trial. the earliest a vaccine could be ready is mid 2018, but in order for that to happen a number of trials and tests would still need to be done on people who are actually exposed to zika mosquitos. but he's pleased with how quickly things are happening. right now there are at least half a dozen vaccines in some phase of development underway. that's just at the nih. there are other companies

as well. things are moving quickly. virginia's taking steps tonight to fight the opioid epidemic that has struck here and across the country. today, virginia governor terry mcauliffe signed several measures into law aimed at expanding resources and curbing fraudulent prescriptions. one will allow community organizations to distribute the anti-drug overdose that lox own. local health departments will be able to provide clean needles. there will be family assessments and treatment for mothers if children are found to be exposed to opioids in utero. by 2020 all opioid prescriptions will be transmitted to pharmacies electronically.

numbers from last year are not out yet but in virginia health officials projected more than a thousand opioid overdose deaths in 2016. that would be a 30% jump from the year before. in 2014 more people in virginia died from overdoses than car crashes. maryland officials tell us between january and september more than 900 people died from heroin overdoses. the worst hit, baltimore, which more than doubled its heroin-related overdose deaths from 2015. here in the district, more than 200 people died from opioid related overdoses in the first half of last year, with ward eight having the most. african-american churches in the area, pillars of the community. but as the neighborhoods continue to gentrify, news4 took a look at how three churches in our area are adapting so they can keep a hold of their congregations. >> eighth street is

right now, some new reaction to the move by the white house to revoke an obama-era directive of transgender students and the bathrooms they use. today montgomery county schools released a statement that says it's committed to a safe and welcome environment for all students and they say school guidelines protect against discrimination. one parent who also worked for the human rights campaign calls it a commitment to diversity.

curve in terms of recognizing the incredible diverse student body. completely reaffirmed their commitment, every student matters, every family matters. we see who's in our school community and we're going to stand by you. >> that move by the trump administration comes as the u.s. supreme court is preparing to hear arguments in a case from virginia. >> joining us with more insight on this directive and where things go from here is nbc's justice correspondent pete williams. what does title ix have to do with this and the way it was implemented? >> title ix is the essence of this case. title ix says that if schools provide facilities for boys, they have to provide equivalent facilities for girls. what it says is

can't discriminate on the basis of sex. the legal question here is, does that also protect against discrimination on the basis of gender identity. now, the obama administration had said yes. it said to the nation's public school if you don't let children use the bathrooms that match their gender identities you could risk losing federal funds. that obama directive never really did anything, because shortly after it was issued, it was blocked in court by a lawsuit from 13 states led by texas. it never went into effect. >> here's another one that we've been covering for so long. gavin grim. >> states certainly can provide protection for transgender students if they want to. they could under the obama directive, the one that was stopped in court. they can still do that

says it's up to the states. there's nothing that bans schools from providing this. the question is are they legally required to provide it. this is gavin grim, you see him in richmond at the fourth circuit. he won there. the gloucester county school district appealed to the supreme court. it's going to be argued march 28th. the question really will be what does the law title nine require. the trump administration's cancellation of the order that obama had issued certainly doesn't help his case, but his lawyers said they intend to go right on with it, that the essence of their case remains. people in prince george's county spotted this wandering around today and
