Good morning, this is Albuquerque Local Pulse for Tuesday, April 1, 2025.
We're starting with some unsettling news today. The Republican Party of New Mexico's headquarters in Albuquerque was damaged by fire yesterday, and authorities are investigating it as a potential arson. The blaze affected the building's entryway, and party officials held a press conference to discuss the incident. While the investigation is ongoing, this event has raised concerns about political tensions in our community.
On a brighter note, the Albuquerque tech scene continues to thrive. Recent reports show a 37% increase in AI-related job postings, with major players like Intel investing heavily in the local ecosystem. The cybersecurity sector is particularly hot, with average salaries reaching nearly $129,000 annually. For those looking to break into tech, there are plenty of entry-level opportunities, and certifications like CompTIA Security+ can open doors without requiring a four-year degree.
In sports news, the Professional Bull Riders Unleash the Beast event kicked off at Tingley Coliseum over the weekend. The competition has drawn top riders from across the country, bringing a taste of rodeo excitement to the Duke City.
We've got a heads up for commuters on the West Side. A two-alarm fire broke out at the Puerta del Sol Apartments on McMahon Boulevard yesterday afternoon. While firefighters managed to contain the blaze, 24 residents were displaced. If you're in the area, expect some traffic delays as cleanup continues.
Looking ahead to the weather, we're in for a blustery day. The National Weather Service has issued red flag warnings due to high winds, so secure any loose items in your yard and be extra cautious if you're planning any outdoor activities.
On the cultural front, film buffs will be excited to hear that 'Coyote vs. Acme,' a movie that was previously shelved, has found a new home. While we don't have details on a release date yet, it's great to see projects with ties to our state getting a second chance.
In community news, a local horse therapy nonprofit is seeking volunteers. If you're looking to give back and spend time with some majestic animals, this could be a great opportunity to get involved.
Today's crime report focuses on a fatal crash between a motorcycle and a vehicle that police are currently investigating. We urge all drivers and riders to exercise caution on our roads.
Lastly, a quick reminder that the Lobos are set to introduce their newly-hired men's basketball head coach today. It's an exciting time for UNM sports, and we're eager to see what the future holds for our team.
This has been Albuquerque Local Pulse. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
