  • "Wildfire in the Bosque, Housing Concerns, and Sports Highlights: Albuquerque Local Pulse for Sunday, July 13, 2025"
    2025/07/13
    Good morning, this is Albuquerque Local Pulse for Sunday, July 13, 2025.

    We start with breaking news from the Rio Grande bosque near Central and Tingley. Yesterday afternoon, a wildfire broke out close to the Albuquerque Botanic Garden, sending smoke across the valley and prompting park visitors to evacuate. Fire crews responded quickly and managed to keep the blaze from spreading into neighborhoods, but parts of the bosque are closed today as mop-up continues. Officials urge us to avoid the area and remind everyone that fire danger remains high in the summer heat. The weather today will be mostly sunny with highs in the low 90s, but there’s a chance for evening thunderstorms, so keep an eye on the sky if you’re heading outdoors.

    Turning to City Hall, Mayor Tim Keller shared that leaders are working on improving clarity and transparency in how the city addresses housing and safety concerns. This comes after a recent controversy at the Gavilan mobile home park, which inspectors declared unlivable this week due to hazards after last month’s storms. Cleanup efforts are ongoing, and city staff are connecting residents to resources and temporary housing.

    On the crime front, Albuquerque Police made an arrest in a major case: Detectives took Erick Pacheco into custody on July 10 in connection with the June shooting death of Denise Duran near Wyoming and Lomas. Meanwhile, police also released more details about a non-fatal officer-involved shooting from June on the West Side. Public safety remains a top concern with increased patrols in Northeast neighborhoods following a deadly shooting Friday night.

    Shifting to the job market, Albuquerque’s unemployment rate is holding steady, and we’re seeing new job listings rise, especially in health care and tech. There’s also a glimmer of hope in the real estate market: The number of new listings increased by about ten percent this week, with the median home price just below three hundred ten thousand dollars. Open houses are happening today in Nob Hill and Westside, with a few first-time buyer workshops scheduled this week.

    In business news, a new coffee shop, Zia Java, opened its doors yesterday on Central across from UNM, adding to the lively scene there, while several local retailers on Route 66 are holding summer sidewalk sales today and tomorrow.

    For sports fans, the Albuquerque Isotopes fell to Round Rock 5 to 1 last night, despite out-hitting the Express by two. There’s a rematch this afternoon with first pitch at 12:05. On the high school front, Cleveland’s standout baseball player was just named Gatorade Player of the Year, and five local athletes were inducted into the New Mexico Sports Hall of Fame.

    This weekend’s community calendar is packed. Presbyterian Hospital is hosting a Community Baby Expo near Carlisle and I-40, free to all expectant families. Also, look out for the Downtown Art Walk Friday evening and movies in the park tonight at North Domingo Baca.

    And for a quick feel-good story—after forty years, a piece of stolen art was returned to the Harwood Museum of Art thanks to a tip from a retired teacher. It’s a reminder that small acts can make a big difference in our community.

  • Albuquerque Transit Tragedy, Federal Cuts Threaten Public Safety, Staffing Changes for Fire Rescue
    2025/07/12
    Good morning, this is Albuquerque Local Pulse for Saturday, July 12, 2025.

    We start with breaking news that has shaken our city. A fatal stabbing involving an ABQ Ride bus driver yesterday forced city leaders to pause a planned press conference on the city’s Zero Tolerance crime initiative and instead redirect attention to this growing safety concern. City officials have acknowledged the urgency to improve transit security. In fact, the city is moving forward with updated plans to increase bus safety, an issue that’s been under close scrutiny recently. Tragically, this comes as police are also investigating a deadly shooting in northeast Albuquerque and, in a separate incident, officers shot and killed a woman after she fired at police responding to an early morning disturbance at a hotel. Police have assured us these incidents are being thoroughly investigated, and additional patrols are expected at key transit and hotel locations today.

    Public safety has dominated the conversation at City Hall, too. Mayor Tim Keller and city leaders are joining a national coalition to fight proposed federal cuts to public safety and affordable housing funding. The Trump administration’s policy changes threaten about 17 million dollars for our police department, plus funding for programs that help keep families in their homes. City leaders say losing this support would directly impact how quickly our officers can respond to crime and how well we can address homelessness.

    Staying with City Hall, there’s been a significant change to how our ambulances are staffed. A city committee sided with Mayor Keller, overturning a council-backed rule that required two paramedics on every ambulance. Now, Albuquerque Fire Rescue will be allowed to staff ambulances with one paramedic and one EMT, a move designed to address critical shortages but one that has raised concerns among union leaders about the quality of emergency response.

    Turning to community safety, we urgently ask everyone to be on the lookout for Wynona Cleveland, a 12-year-old girl missing from Albuquerque since July 10. She was last seen near Louisiana Boulevard. Please contact authorities if you have any information.

    On the weather front, scattered showers are likely early this afternoon, with highs in the mid-80s. If you plan to be outdoors or attend local events, keep an umbrella handy. Rain chances continue into the weekend, so check conditions before heading to Balloon Fiesta Park or the Rail Yards.

    In real estate, home prices have held steady, averaging around 315,000 dollars for a single-family house, while job seekers are seeing more listings this month, especially in healthcare and construction—a sign our local economy is still pushing forward.

    A quick sports update: The Albuquerque Isotopes celebrated a huge win last night, crushing El Paso at Isotopes Park, 18 to 5. Also, congratulations to the Cleveland High baseball star just named New Mexico’s Gatorade Player of the Year.

    For music lovers, the Heights Summer Concert Series continues this evening at North Domingo Baca Park, with performances starting at 6. Meanwhile, Presbyterian Hospital is hosting its Community Baby Expo, connecting new and expecting families with resources.

    Before we go, a small feel-good story. Local firefighters came together at Civic Plaza to help seniors move into newly completed affordable apartments, showing us again the heart of our community.

  • Albuquerque Rebounds After Floods, Walmart Incident Raises Transparency Concerns
    2025/07/11
    Good morning, this is Albuquerque Local Pulse for Friday, July 11th, 2025.

    We start today with weather on everyone’s mind. Our area saw scattered overnight showers, but skies are clearing as we head into the weekend. The National Weather Service in Albuquerque reminds us to expect warm, partly cloudy weather today with highs in the upper 80s, and there’s just a slight chance of afternoon storms. That’s a relief after what we’ve seen in nearby parts of New Mexico—just this week, the mountain village of Ruidoso found itself rebuilding again after flash floods swept through, just one year after its devastating wildfires. Floodwaters on the Rio Ruidoso set a record, rising over 20 feet in a matter of hours. Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham is requesting federal disaster help, and emergency crews have wrapped up dozens of water rescues. Albuquerque’s own city officials are reminding us to look out for scams targeting flood relief donations. Councilor Dan Champine is urging everyone to verify charity credentials before offering help.

    Turning to City Hall, Councilor Klarissa Peña is calling for more transparency after an ICE incident at the Walmart on I-40 and Coors left one man seriously injured. Peña wants to see more clarity from ICE, especially regarding enforcement actions in public spaces and the policies of retailers when these incidents occur. She’s meeting with local businesses to ensure everyone’s rights are respected and that residents of all backgrounds feel safe across Albuquerque.

    Our crime report today covers several stories. The Bernalillo County Sheriff’s Office has charged James Lucero, age 37, with murder in the beating death of his mother Shirley Lovato, a tragic incident that has shaken the South Valley community. In another case, an Albuquerque mother and her son were sentenced yesterday for using Instagram and a 3D printer to traffic illegal machine gun conversion devices. This serves as a reminder of the ongoing challenges local law enforcement faces as technology and crime increasingly intersect.

    For our job market update, summer typically brings seasonal hiring, especially in hospitality and construction. Local listings show about 2,200 jobs open citywide, with demand up for trades and healthcare roles. In real estate, home prices around Albuquerque have stabilized after a steep rise earlier this year, with the median selling price now hovering just under 350,000 dollars. New apartment developments are underway downtown and near the University area, aiming to ease the squeeze for renters.

    Last night in sports, the Albuquerque Isotopes edged out Round Rock 3 to 2 in extra innings over in Texas. Our club stays on the road for a few more days, so let’s cheer them on from home.

    Looking ahead, the Downtown Growers Market at Robinson Park is happening tomorrow, and the annual Route 66 Summerfest kicks off Saturday evening along Central Avenue with live music, food trucks, and family activities.

    In education news, several APS high school robotics teams just returned from a national competition, bringing home top ten finishes and lots of local pride.

    And for today’s feel-good story, a group of Nob Hill neighbors rallied together to fix up Hyder Park’s playground after a bout of vandalism, collecting donations and doing the repairs themselves. It’s another example of the spirit that keeps this city strong.
