From MPD:
“On 5/13/20 at approximately 12:27 a.m., officers were patrolling H Street NE when an adult male victim flagged them down to report that he was in the 1300 block of H Street NE when an unknown suspect walked by him, doused a shirt with an unknown flammable liquid, lit it and threw it on him. The victim was able to flee the scene without any injury. The suspect is described as a black male, approximately 5’5″ and 150lbs, wearing a tan coat, blue jeans and a black hat.
At approximately 01:11 a.m., police were called to the 900 block of H Street NE for another report of a fire.
On the scene, officers located an adult male victim who had suffered burns to his lower extremities, in addition to his personal belongings being destroyed. The victim was transported to an area hospital for treatment of his injuries. The victim was unable to provide a description of the suspect[s]. However, due to similarities between the two incidents, they are considered to be related.
These incidents are being actively investigated by detectives from the MPDC and DC Arson Task Force. Should anyone have any information about either incident, please contact the Metropolitan Police Department’s Command Information Center at (202) 727-9099.”
The incidents were: 12:38 AM- attempt to set fire 1300 block H St NE. 1:10 AM- outside fire 900 block H St NE with serious injuries to an adult male no fixed address. 1:22 AM- Car Fire 1300 block Florida Ave NE. 1:38- Front porch fire 1400 block Morse St NE.

Potomac Harmony is Back! Following a gap year of competing, then virtual rehearsals during the pandemic, followed by the well-earned retirement of our long-term director, a year of a director search, Potomac Harmony hit the regional contest stage in Concord, North Carolina in March for the first time since 2018! It was exhilarating, reaffirming, and rewarding!
The chorus hit all of its goals, the biggest of which was to have fun and sing our best on contest stage — we did both! Because we earned a score over 400 points, our new Director, Allison Lynskey, was awarded the Novice Director award, photo above. Additionally, one of our charter members, Jackie Bottash, was nominated for and honored with the Leadership Excellence award. It was a celebratory weekend!
What’s next? So much! We now look forward to upcoming performances, growing our membership, and expanding our musical product with new arrangements and an education component each week. It’s an exciting time to be part of this ever-growing ensemble!
