“I’ve always respected Shomari’s skills as a reporter for our competition, but now he’s finally where I always envisioned him, on our team! He has already earned the viewers’ trust through his years dedicated to helping the DMV community, holding local leaders accountable, and breaking impactful stories” said FOX 5 VP and News Director Paul McGonagle.

On Thursday, FOX 5 DC welcomed Shomari Stone as a reporter and anchor beginning May 1st. “The DMV is my home. Growing up, I spent summers here with my father and even graduated from St. John’s College High School. It is an honor to join this great team where I can bring viewers closer to the news stories by making my reports memorable, interesting, and informative” said Stone.

Prior to signing on with FOX 5, Shomari Stone joined CNBC in April 2022 as a CNBC General Assignment Reporter for “The News with Shepard Smith,” based at the network’s Washington, D.C. bureau. In December, he started reporting on NBC News Now and MSNBC. Stone is an Emmy and Edward R. Murrow award-winning reporter who spent over 10 years as a general assignment reporter at D.C.’s NBC station, specializing in breaking news coverage. Throughout his on-air career, he has reported on a multitude of high-profile stories across the country including the January 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol, the bombing at the Boston Marathon, immigration reform, the local impact of the Cuban Dictator Fidel Castro’s relinquished power and the fall of Haitian President Jean Bertrand Aristide as well as an exclusive interview with Trayvon Martin’s parents while they were in Washington, among others. He is a graduate of the University of Michigan, where he received six journalism awards (per Stone’s LinkedIn account).
