6:25 AM: Karon Hylton’s mother arrested at protest outside D.C. police station
D.C. police arrested the mother of Karon Hylton on Saturday night during a protest over her son’s death in an October moped crash while being followed by officers.
Karen Hylton-Brown, 52, was one of two people arrested during a demonstration outside the 4th District police station on Georgia Avenue NW, police said Sunday. She and a 24-year-old from Virginia were cited and released after they allegedly crossed a police line during a tense but peaceful protest, according to D.C. police spokeswoman Kristen Metzger.
Hylton-Brown did not respond to a request for comment Sunday.
Videos posted to social media show Hylton-Brown being ushered inside the police station by officers who rushed out and surrounded her while protesters shouted, “Let her go!”

6:15 AM: Arrest made in woman’s disappearance a decade ago, police say
An arrest has been made in the case of a woman who disappeared 10 years ago and was never found, D.C. police said Sunday.
Unique Harris, 24, was reported missing on Oct. 10, 2010, from her home in the 2400 block of Hartford Street SE, police said.
When her two children awoke, according to an account in The Washington Post, Harris was gone.
Two years ago, police said, a death certificate was issued after the Superior Court granted a petition for presumption of death of a missing person.
On Sunday, police said Isaac Moye, 43, of Southeast Washington was arrested Saturday and charged with second-degree murder while armed.
Police said they are still investigating.

6:10 AM: D.C.-area forecast: Chilly weather this week and stormy on Christmas Eve
The Capital Weather Gang rates today’s weather a 4/10: A four for the fourth straight day without much sun. A somewhat subjective rating of the day’s weather, on a scale of 0 to 10.
Today: The winter solstice arrives at 5:02 a.m. and we start our shortest day of the year with pockets of fog. In our colder areas, watch out for icy spots, especially on bridges and overpasses. Skies may be slow to brighten, keeping it rather chilly into the afternoon. Highs may only approach 45 but, if we do manage some sunshine, we could get closer to 50. Confidence: Medium
Tonight: Unfortunately, if we manage any blue skies during the afternoon, cloud cover races back in during the evening and may interfere with chances to see the Jupiter-Saturn conjunction. Some scattered rain showers (possibly mixing with snow in our colder areas) may then develop which scoot out of the region during the predawn hours. Lows are in the low to mid-30s. Confidence: Medium
Tomorrow (Tuesday): This promises to be the first mostly sunny day since last week but it’s rather blustery. Highs reach the mid- to upper 40s as wind gusts potentially top 30 mph at times. Confidence: Medium-High
