you just heard in the background were two police cruisers leaving. there is a very active investigation going on right now. i am joined by marcus bachelor. he is a member of the d.c. state board of education. talk to us about the community concerns with something like this. we do not know if this is a ballou student, but that is a possibility, the concerns in the education community, the concerns for parents in the wake of this. >> well, the major concern for our community is that if our children can't walk back and forth to school safely, who else is safe in our community? i mean, just in the last month we've had three-day-time shootings near the elementary school, a shooting within a block of savoy and thurgood marshall academy. now this, our community has been crying out. that even though we say there is a drop in crime, there's folks in our city who feel more unsafe than they've ever felt before. and i think today is evident of

>> reporter: marcus bachelor, thank you very much, with the d.c. state board of education. we do not have much more information on this this afternoon, except that it happened as school was letting out and that the victim is described as a teenager. when we get more information, we will bring it to you. live in southeast washington, jackie benson, news4. >> all right, we'll stay in close touch. jackie, thanks so much. what would you do if you come home, find strangers in your house? now, what if those strangers insisted it was actually their home and then told you to get out? that's what happened to a local couple this week in a story you'll see only on news4 tonight. mark segraves tells us this has been happening across the country. >> reporter: the home security cameras captured the confrontation. >> this is our ancestors. >> who are you? >> reporter: the multi-million dollar home near rock creek park is for sale and nobody is living in it, but the couple who own

and when they got an alert that the alarm was going off, the wife rushed to the house expecting to find a real estate agent. instead, she came face to face with a man and a woman who claimed they owned the land because their ancestors were the original inhabitants. the man and woman can be heard repeatedly saying they were moorish nationalists who had a sovereign right to the home. >> this is our home, our land. >> reporter: the homeowner tried to keep her distance from the man and woman as she called police, but she was growing more and more concerned for her safety. >> these are very frightening people. >> reporter: surveillance videos show the couple breaking into the home then taking down the for sale sign before the homeowner showed up. >> they knew they set the alarm off. i'm sure they were expecting someone to come. and they waited to confront me. >> reporter: once police arrive, the couple continues to insist the land is theirs. >> this is our land.

minutes, the couple becomes more argumentative with police and finally the man appears to try to push his way past police, who then arrest the couple who remained defiant even as they were escorted out of the house. now, both of the suspects were charged with a misdemeanor, unlawful entry. a judge released them on their own recognizance. he did order that they stay away from that house in upper northwest. >> mark -- >> this is crazy. so, this couple kept saying that they had filed -- i want to get this right -- reversal of estate claims. is there any legitimacy to this? >> there is not. this has been happening all over the country. you'll remember about three or four years ago it happened in a huge mansion in bethesda where the people did the same thing. they believe -- they call themselves moorish nationalists and they believe they are the indigenous people and original inhabitants and therefore have a claim to the land. oftentimes they will file paperwork. this woman actually said she had a l

halloween joke in the mail saying they were doing this reversal of estate. the problem with it is, you know, anybody can put a lien on your property and even though it's specious, you have to go and deal with it and fight it and go through the cost and aggravation of that. so, it can jamb a homeowner up, but so far this has been playing out over the past several years across the country. there is no validity to any of these claims. >> and what is the moorish nation, do we know? >> they get their name from an, actually a legitimate church. people who believe their ancestors were moores from africa, morocco, different parts there. but then there have been these off-groups that have splintered off. some of them the fbi consider to be dangerous and violent, and others of they have tend to play out this way and try to do these reversals of estate that they believe. and this woman told me, the homeowner told me that this couple, she believed, firmly believed everything that they

>> real any >> that's why she's scared they'll come back now that they've been released. they told her and the police they don't recognize u.s. law. >> frightening. >> amazing. >> good story, mark. thanks so much. >> wow. well, ashanti billie's mother says it's like looking at a monster. she is referring to the man who is charged with kidnapping and killing their daughter. a homeless veteran arrested yesterday in the murder of the 19-year-old from prince george's county. news4's erika gonzalez is in the newsroom with reaction from ashanti's parents. >> when you listen to them your heart goes out to this family who has had to endure the worst, and now knowing in graphic detail through those charging documents what authorities think happened to ashanti billie. outside fbi headquarters in norfolk, virginia, billie's parents talked to reporters, hurt and angry, they say, that the person allegedly behind the murder of their daughter is a navy veteran. police

brown was homeless and worked as a day laborer on joint base little creek. authorities say they've got video evidence, phone history, and dna linking brown to the crime. ashanti billie went missing mid september from joint base little creek where she worked. the body was found ten days later in north carolina. when questioned about his whereabouts at the time of billie's disappearance, brown said he was on base, but blacked out, doesn't remember anything. her father had some things to say about that. >> i'm not giving you no type -- opt for you to throw an insanity plea or crazy plea. i'm not looking for none of that. that's where you're trying to gear your way to. it's not going to work. it's not going to work. you knew exactly what you were doing. you preyed upon an innocent young lady who happened to be my child and that was the biggest mistake that you made. >> it is just so difficult to hear her parents say that. they are thank of the for the community support and the work of all the different

their girl. wendy, jim? >> powerful message from a loving father. all right, erika, thank you. prince george's county residents will see some familiar face whz they choose their next top prosecutor. former state delegate asia hombre boy served in the house of delegates from 2007 to 2015. fighting domestic violence, mass incarceration, and the foreclosure crisis. also in the race is state senator victor ramirez. he grew up in prince george's county and has been in the state legislature now since 2003. ramirez was the first latino elected to the legislature. he spent his career advocating for immigrant rights. voters in the democratic primary go to the polls this june. current states attorney angela brooks is running for county executive. >> the stunning democratic victories in virginh

politician is what he is. i think trumpism and what we saw in the virginia elections is going to be an existential threat to larry hogan. >> reporter: also in annapolis tuesday, businessman gacvin buckley won the mayor's office over a republican incumbent. >> we're going to capitalize on what happened and keep the energy up. we're a party of new ideas. our core is supposed to be we're progressive, that we're inclusive, that we're the party with a social conscience. >> reporter: governor hogan said he remains confident and so far his high approval ratings make him the candidate to beat. in annapolis, tom sherwood, news4. >> we now know when tolz als ar going to kick in along the i-66 corridor. vdot tells us huge changes will take effect on i-66, starting monday, december 4. rush hour

right now president trump is in the midst of his 12-day tour of asia. in china we've seen a game of flattery on both sides as the president appeared to soften his tone and shift the blame when it comes to trade. and the big question as he moves on, will he meet with vladimir putin? joining us now live is nbc white house correspondent kristen welker. kristen, let's start with china. can we make anything of how friendly in public these two world leaders have been with each other? and moving on forward, do we know any more about the possible putin meeting? >> to your first question, jim, it was a clear about face in terms of tone. president trump heaped praise on the chinese president. of course, in the past and as a candidate, he's accused china of

his words, the united states when it comes to its trade surpluses. but in his bilateral meeting with the chinese president, he said that it was his predecessors who were to blame. now we know that the white house wanted to secure stiffer sanctions against north korea and to convince china to cut back on some of its oil shipments and it's not clear that any of that happened. we do know that companies between the two countries did secure $250 billion trade deal. but what are the tangibles? what are the take aways before president trump left for this trip? his national security advisor said time is running out when it comes to north korea. so, the white house needs to secure more than niceties in order to have this trip be a success. and it's not clear that that happened, jim. >> back here at home, kristen, a bombshell report out today by the washington post, a woman alleging alabama senate candidate roy moore initiated a sexual encounter when she was under age. have we heard any

>> one of the top advisors here, kellyanne conway, said if the allegations are true, that he should pull out of the race. and that's effectively what we are hearing on both sides of pennsylvania avenue. a number of lawmakers saying that if these allegations are true, this is not someone who is fit to serve in the u.s. senate and he should drop out right now. and, of course, this comes against the backdrop of people coming forward and talking about accusations of sexual misconduct and sexual abuse. so, this is clearly something that's being taken very seriously. the white house watching closely, jim. >> all right, strong words there. nbc's kristen welker. kristen, thanks so much. and we invite to you keep it right here for any new developments from the president's trip ahead on nightly news with lester holt right after news4 at 6:00. >> the police officers who risked their lives received the medal of honor today. the chi o

police said the officers represent what's good about america and good about law enforcement. representative steve scalise spoke about them. officer bailey's mother flew in from brazil to see her son get recognized. >> your son saved the lives of over a dozen members of congress and the staff that were out on that ball field. i know you're proud of him on hey regular basis, but no, he's a hero to all of us. >> congressman scalise is back on the hill. he was shot in the chaos in alexandria in june and so was crystal griner. she was able to walk without assistance. >> as veterans day approaches, they are rolling out two new services to help those who served our country. one of those will help low-income vets get to doctors' poimtsd a appointment ands to their jobs. the other will help vets trying to launch their own businesses. here's mark segraves again with a story you'll see only o

>> reporter: richard white is 64 years old. he served in the army, and now he lives on his disability income. like many elderly and disabled, he finds it hard to get around using public transportation. >> it's very difficult, you know, when you try to use the bus, folks don't give you a seat like they used to. and the weather, you're waiting for a bus and it's cold outside. that can be very harmful to you, to your health. >> reporter: but now mr. white and other low-income vets don't need to rely on public transportation for many of their appointments. the district has launched a pilot program where vets who earn less than $30,000 a year can get free cab rides to doctors appointments, school or work. white tested out the new service with mayor bowser by his side. >> we know that housing and transportation are top on their list of things that they need to get back into the community. and especially for our retired

around. >> help me -- i go to outpatient at the va hospital. and that would help me enormously as well as when i come down to work. >> reporter: the mayor was also on hand to launch a new partnership with we work and bunker labs that will provide free work space for veterans who own their own businesses. >> this is going to be huge. >> reporter: joe is an air force vet who helps other vets trying so tastart their own business. >> having these spaces available will allow many veterans an opportunity to have a fixed address to work from, and they can then connect with our forms and our services to do more with their businesses . >> reporter: and the vets will get more than just free work space. so whether that's in-person m mentoring, we provide that. >> reporter: if you're a vet and would like to sign up for the free cab rides or work
