Lt. Brian Rice, the highest-ranking officer on trial in the death of Freddie Gray, was found not guilty of manslaughter, assault, misconduct in office and reckless endangerment — the third officer tried in the case to be acquitted. Baltimore City Circuit Court Judge Barry Williams delivered the verdict Monday. Rice was the officer that initiated the pursuit of Gray, who later died while in policy custody in April 2015. Prosecutors alleged that Rice acted irresponsibly by not putting a seat belt…

Maryland state officials want Dimensions Healthcare System out of a new Prince George’s County regional medical center, but a management framework for the planned hospital facility remains ill-defined. And the University of Maryland Medical System, which will take the reins of the facility, is running low on time. According to The Washington Post, UMMS hasn’t determined the “details such as mechanics, structure, governance and branding” of a new hospital system despite just being a few…

Good morning, and happy Monday. I think enough time has passed that I can stop giving the daily Pokemon Go update. But, in case you were wondering, I’ve officially joined Team Instinct (yellow).

The high is going to be 98, and the heat index will likely be even hotter than that. Try to stay indoors this afternoon if at all possible. Here are eight stories to get your work week…

When Jonathan Fishman and Eben Altmann announced the B-More Kitchen food incubator was coming to Baltimore, it was met with nearly 400 inquires from those in the industry, they said. The incubator is the anchor that holds down the nearly $3 million development, but the building it is housed in — a former Chevrolet car dealership — offers so much more to the area. Fishman, the founder, and Altmann, the general manager, have held a few open houses thus far to get the B-More Kitchen into the mind's…

Bullock defeated incumbent District 9 Councilman William Welch in April’s democratic primary election, receiving 51 percent of the vote to Welch’s 33 percent. Eight of the City Council’s 14 district seats will be occupied by new representatives come next year. That’s a level of turnover not seen since 2003. Bullock, a political science professor at Towson University and former city planner in Washington,…
