🌱6-Year-Old Walking Street After Midnight + Spring-like Forecast

Good day, people of Providence! It's me again, Karena Garrity, your host of the Providence Daily.

First, today's weather:

Mostly sunny and warmer. High: 52 Low: 38.

Here are the top four stories in Providence today:

1. Protesting unhealthy living conditions, the newly formed Providence Living Tenants Union held its first action on Friday and marched up Wickendon Street, to the offices of Providence Living, to demand, “increased responsiveness and timeliness from the company, as well as safe and dignified housing for all residents.” (Uprise RI)
2. Shortly after midnight, Sunday morning a six-year-old was found wandering near the intersection of Academy Avenue and Wealth Avenue in Providence, by himself in only a t-shirt and underwear. Police have not said if there will be any charges at this time. (GoLocalProv)
3. Spring is in the air this week! Here is the Providence weather forecast for the week ahead. (Providence Patch)
4. An 18-year-old was arrested Friday and charged with possession of a firearm without a license after being found in possession of a ghost gun. He was held overnight and released Saturday on bail. (The Providence Journal)
