A 9yearold boy beaten to death by a mothers boyfriend for taking a piece of birthday cake. His cake. Maryland bureau chief brad bell tell us the mother charged in this case is pleading guilty today and she will be behind bars for a long time. Brad jack garcia was 9 years old when he was killed in 2015. In the final months of his life, he endured nearly constant torture at the hands of his mothers boyfriend and uncle. This happened in this apartment after the hungry child not fed in more th hours took a piece of another childs birthday cake. As punishment, the uncle Jacob Barajas handcuffed jack to a chair. The boyfriend Robert Wilson beat him to death. And his mother Oriana Garcia turned away an ambulance. Even hardened cops struggle with the case. This was dumbfounding for me, that a child gets beaten to death over a piece of cake. Brad even though garcia lived in hagerstown for just a few months, dozens gathered for a vigil in his memory. People are in shock this kind of thing is happening. Brad now jacks 27yearold mother Oriana Garcia pleaded guilty to child abuse causing death. Wilson already pleaded guilty to murder and is serving 30 years. Barajas is guilty of child abuse and faces up to 15. In hagerstown where the case has been followed closely, people we speak to say all three deserve hard time. They need to serve brad after pleading guilty in Washington CountyCircuit Court today, garcia was taken back to jail. She has been behind bars since her arrest in july of 2015. She is going to be behind bars for a long time. She faces up to 20 years in prison. In hagerstown, brad bell, abc7 news. Michelle new at 4 00, a student was stopped trying to bring a gun into a high school in southeast d. C. School resource officers stopped and arrested a student. The school has metal detectors at entrances. Alison developing in annapolis tonight, police chief Michael Pristoop is out. The Mayors Office confirms he has been fired. And major scott baker will take over as interim chief while the city searches for a newton cop. Abc7 asked the Mayors Office why Michael Pristoop was fired . The response, the city was looking for new direction in enforcement efforts. Well, Savoy Elementary School in d. C. Is closed. Exterminators working on an bedbugs, rats and mice. The children are still attending a Different School today. So how common are bedbugs in d. C. Schools . 7 on your side asking that question today. D. C. Bureau chief sam ford has the story for us. Sam, what did you learn . Sam well, a School Spokesman told us that bedbugs in a school is not that unusual. Although, out of an abundance of caution they have closed Savoy Elementary School here through the end of the month. As a councilmember complained he is not getting enough answers. This morning, busing began to take students the three miles from Savoy Elementary School to a closed school reopened also in southeast. That is so a thorough cleaning of savoy could continue without students presence. This all raised issue with parents and the local councilmember. What is the city doing to find the source of the d. O. H. Told them its not their issue and he doesnt like that. D. O. H. Said its not a health issue. Indeed it is a health issue. Bedbugs are a bloodsucking parasite. If we dont go in to the homes and address the problem it will start all over again in another location. Sam the Health Department told us as well they could provide us no data on bedbug infestation in d. C. And they have no Services Related to bedbugs. Well have more on that and other Matters Regarding this coming up at abc7 news at 5 00. Reporting live from southeast washington, im sam ford, abc7 news. Alison sam, thank you. Are you wondering more about the bedbugs . According to the c. D. C. They are really not known for spreading disease. People can react differently to the bit can be pretty itchy. If you scratch them too much, that could lead to an infection. Some may have an but generally, though, the c. D. C. Says they are not dangerous. Jonathan here is a question for you. What would you pay for a bus stop . The price tag for two dozen arlington bus stops raising call kind of eyebrows even after a reduction from the socalled milliondollar stop. Brianne carter breaks it down for us. Are they more reasonable or still highpriced . Brianne we all remember it. Here it is. Dubbed the milliondollar bus stop. Now for similar transit stops along columbia pike but we know they wont be as expensive. We soon expect to have a better idea what the new transit stops will look like as the county is set to release even new images detailing the stations by the end of this month. Well, here is what we do know. It will be 23 larger bus stops that will be going in. They will have near level boarding. Meaning they will be close to the street level. Longer platforms. Real time bus arrival i ability for riders to pay before they board. The price tag 13. 3 million for all 23. That is about 575,000 a stop. But bus riders say they would rather see the money spent somewhere else. Its too much. Everything is going good right now. Yeah. They might be a little slower but that aint never stopped a bus driver from driving. It dont make sense to add all the other stuff. Brianne where are they all located here along columbia pike . We will give you a closer look tonight at 5 00. Brianne carter, abc7 news. Jonathan thank you. Coming up next at 4 00 ben and jerrys knows a pint is not enough. Its a remedy, though.

The new developments and the cranes. What does it mean for the condo market and apartment rentals . Im q mccray. Ill explain it all coming michelle now to a 7 on your side consumer alert. If you look around arlington, you see new apartment buildings. You would think it would lower the price for renters but as q mccray found out, its not necessarily the case. He joins us live to explain. Q . Q the answer is simple. Arlington in the Wilson Clarendon corridor is a hot spot. Everybody wants to live here. But the lifestyle comes at a price. Rosslyn, clarendon, ballston. Construction sites are becoming common place in arlington. Apartment and condo buildings are going up quickly. A good and bad thing, depending who you ask. I think there are too many bars. Thats what bothers me, the noise at 2 00 a. M. This little hub zone has been fantastic for me and my business. Q Many Developers are looking to get units purchased or respected before construction is finished. Like Central Place at wilson we checked. Rents start at 2,000 for a studio. Up to 15,000 a month for a penthouse. I would think with all the extra building maybe prices would come down a little bit. Q not along the wilsonclarendon corridor. Our clients would typically rather be in a walking distance to metro because of what it offers around it. Walkability, restaurants, just the urban feel. Q if you are wondering, there are 81 apartments available along the clarendonwilson corridor right now. Now we spoke we have talked about apartments but what about the condo market along the same area . I have more on that story coming up at 5 00. An expert we spoke to said dont let the Tall Buildings fool you. I will explain more then. Im q mccray, back to you in the jonathan if you lose a loved one its a difficult time. Alison more time is what facebook is giving employees. We want to know what you think of this. Go to wjla. Com votenow. Michelle now to amy aubert who joins us now with the companys new policy.

Six to ten inches of snow. Blizzard warnings in effect for portion over long island for the storm that is still over the midwest.

Michelle you are about to see undercover video from dozen of stores in maryland where products from threatened species are being sold. Jonathan elephant ivory, leopard fur. They have been treeing to keep these off the market for a long time. Kimberly suiters reports on the investigation. Selling this stuff is illegal, correct . Kimberly yes, and no. Federal law absolutely prohibits the import, export and sale of African Elephant ivory, except for real antiques, items over a hundred years old. But there is a loophole. So the Humane Society undercover investigation of what they call from threatened and endangered species. Sold by different dealers, an an antique shows or malls, flea markets. Its impossible to know if they were imported illegally. Many claimed ignorance of the law. It was found in frederick, Montgomery County, baltimore, annapolis, too. Under the nose of maryland General Assembly. They urged the General Assembly to pass legislation to be the seventh state to actively combat wildlife crime. The maryland law would prohibit selling products from elephants and sea turtles, rhino, lions, great apes and other threatened and endangered species. Jonathan kimberly, thank you. New educatio with a look at the weather and an update. The temperature in the 70s the past couple of days warmed up the roadway temperatures. We checked out the seniors throughout the around through maryland. We have temperatures of the roadway surface ranging between 56 to almost 70 degrees. They will get colder. But this bodes well for the metro area. We wont have a lot of metro effect in morning but every little bit north and west you go it will be more to deal with. We are still around 60s in the area. Rain developed late tonight. Temperatures in the 50s. Because of the transition that will occur overnight the Winter Weather advisories, advisories. The but the big esstorm is all the way in our area to the coast of maine. But the future cast is showing the rain west of town at 1 30 in the morning. Still rain getting closer as we get through 3 30 in the then the changes occur as the colder air comes in. Changes to snow. The temperatures start to fall. Then the bulk of the snow moves out by 9 00 or 9 30 in the morning only to be replaced by strong winds and snowshowers throughout the afternoon. The wind chill drop through the 20s. How much snow . We think it will be a wet slushy snow. Mostly grass top, car tops, places like that. Up through an inch in the metro. Mostly rain in the south. Every little bit more to the north, the more snow and impacts and more likelihood traffic will be impacted. Steve rudin here in ten minutes to talk about the tenday. For me personally, this confirmation process and the drama it engendered has been a bear. Jonathan that is betsy devos joking about the response in the confirmation process saying some schools might need guns in case of grizzlies. On her first dale she called on people to set aside precon a need to find common ground. I appeal the ruling objection is heard. The senator will take her seat. Michelle senator Elizabeth Warren shut down over her objections to senator Jeff Sessions as attorney general nominee. It was during another allnighter by senate democrats. Abc7s chief Political Correspondent scott thuman on the hill for us tonight. Scott, where does his confirmation stand at this point . Scott well, michelle, we expect we will see the vote on Jeff Sessions this everything. But as you pointed out, not without controversy even if he gets through with a vote along party lines. You still had that hot button issue come to the forefront last night as democrats pulled that allnighter. We saw democrats kind of picking up the torch where senator warren could no longer carry it. They were reading the speech. Some lines from the widow of dr. Martin luther after she was essentially booted from the floor and could no longer cite them because it was considered a violation of rule 19, that is impugning the motive or the reputation of another senator. Something you are not supposed to do. Controversy aside on that one. You look forward. We still have two others that will not be easy for trump picks. We are talking about h. H. S. Nominee tom price. People believe there is a conflict of interest according to his critics. Where he has made investments in companies. Further legislation that benefited them. We will see what happens there. Steven mnuchin for treasury. Also facing some controversy due to what some members of congress say was misleading, that he did not divulge all the information for past investments he should have. On top of that, you have the scotus pick. We are also awaiting what will happen with the travel ban. Went to court, had oral arguments last night. There will not be a ruling today. We look for tomorrows calendar to see if there is a resolution on that. President trump saying if the ruling is against the administration it will make us as a nation less safe and secure. And as a result, they will continue the fight. If the administration loses and the ban is apolished temporarily you can abolished temporarily it is setting the stage for a Supreme Court fight. Michelle thank you. Jonathan without a mask or makeup this guy will be easy to find. Police are looking for him. His name is matthew stager. He was released from a correctional facility in petersburg last week and was supposed to selfreport in texas on the same day. We never showed up. U. S. Marshals believe stager may have passed through the Hampton Roads area or may still be in area. If you see him, the police would like to hear from you. Michelle my gosh. That is a sight to behold. Jonathan nobody is not necessarily going to blend all that easily. Michelle no. Well, you know, after the super bowl a lot of fans are still reacting after lady gaga media criticizing her halftime super bowl performance. Jonathan she did a great job. Why would anyone be critical of that . Lindsey mastis shows us how she is taking the high road. Lindsey is trolls are going after her looks. This is one example. It says lady gaga had a little gut on her. Its the super bowl, not the super roll. There are other examples. But a lot of them have been taken down because a lot of trolls can dish it out but cant take it. This woman responds. How does your gut look . And someone else says, says someone with more rolls than a thanksgiving feast. Lady gaga is taking the high road. She posted this response to instagram saying in part i heard my body is a topic of conversation so i wanted to say im proud of my body. And you should be proud of yours, too. She is getting a lot of love. She has tens of thousands of responses so far. More than a million l it seems so far most of the response is positive. Back to you. Jonathan she looked great. She sounded great. Michelle she is in shape. She did that set that was 13 minutes . It was long. Jonathan nonstop. Michelle next for us on abc7 news at 4 00 looks like limes, right .

Tomorrow, im gonna step out with my favorite girl. Ask your doctor about entresto. And help make the gift of tomorrow possible. Michelle check this out. It looks like a box of limes, right . Jonathan give them high credit or points for the creativity. These arent limes. They look like paper ma shay wrap around a lot of pot. Border agents uncovered 4,000 pounds of marijuana disguised as key lime. January 30 is when the bust happened. They are showing off pictures now. Michelle creative. Jonathan if you get close you are like that is not lime. Michelle it points out how tough of a job it is for the agents that have to monitor things. Jonathan sneaky.

The bulk of the snow comes through between 6 00 and 30 to 8 00. Quickly pushes off. It depends how cold the ground gets.
