Good morning, this is Charlotte Local Pulse for Tuesday, May 6th, 2025. We wake up to a mild and breezy start here in the Queen City, with temperatures hovering in the low sixties. We can expect partly cloudy skies through the morning, with a high in the upper seventies later this afternoon. Keep an umbrella handy just in case, as a pop-up shower could roll through near uptown in the late afternoon, but most outdoor plans should be safe.

Turning to breaking news, Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police are investigating a deadly shooting on Archdale Drive near the Interstate 77 interchange in south Charlotte. It happened just after 4 p.m. yesterday at an apartment complex. One person lost their life, while another was rushed to Atrium Health with critical injuries. Officers are still piecing together the situation and searching for leads, so anyone with information is encouraged to come forward. This follows a busy weekend for first responders, including a serious accident on the I-485 Outer Loop Saturday night that left one person dead. Safety remains a top priority for our city, with more patrols visible across Mecklenburg County.

From City Hall, council members are set to vote this week on changes to zoning rules that could impact homeowners from Dilworth to University City. The council is also discussing proposals for expanding greenway access, particularly along Sugar Creek, which could mean more parks and public spaces in the future.

On the economic front, Charlotte’s job market remains steady. A handful of tech startups are hiring for new software and data analyst roles uptown. Meanwhile, several restaurants along South End’s Camden Road are preparing to open their doors by Memorial Day, offering fresh job opportunities. In real estate, median home prices in the county are just over four hundred thousand dollars, with inventory ticking slightly higher compared to last month—good news for buyers looking for options.

Culturally, the city’s buzzing. Music fans can catch a free jazz concert at Romare Bearden Park this evening, and the Mint Museum is unveiling its new interactive art exhibit tomorrow. If you are looking for family fun, the Charlotte Science Festival wraps up this weekend at Discovery Place, featuring local school robotics teams and hands-on experiments led by CMS students.

High school sports brought another reason to cheer last night as Myers Park took the regional soccer title, edging out Providence in overtime. The victory sends them to the state championship this weekend.

For our feel-good story, volunteers from the Plaza Midwood neighborhood came together over the weekend to renovate the playground at Shamrock Park, installing new equipment and planting shade trees just in time for summer.

That wraps it up for today. This has been Charlotte Local Pulse. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
