I guess you mean the sub-heading.
Headlines and subs are NOT punctuated except for colons, thus

Answer by checkmate
It depends on the house style that usually does eschew punctuation to convey an atmosphere of immediacy but a sentence should begin with a capital letter and end in a full stop (period to Americans and Scots of a certain age).
