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.
