We start with breaking news out of City Hall, where Mayor Vi Lyles and city council members are responding to recent allegations of corruption connected to a reported settlement involving CMPD Chief Johnny Jennings. City leaders are firmly denying wrongdoing, aiming to restore public trust and keep us focused on community priorities. They assure us that the city remains committed to transparency, and more details from the investigation are expected in the coming days.
Turning to public safety, Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police continue to investigate a homicide that occurred earlier this week on the 300 block of Archdale Drive in the Steele Creek Division. Detectives are working closely with the community, and anyone with information is encouraged to reach out. Elsewhere, a fatal crash on I-485 Outer Loop has led to increased police patrols along the corridor, serving as a reminder to drive carefully during the busy morning and evening commutes.
Our weather today is shaping up to be mostly cloudy, with temperatures in the low 60s as we head through the morning and highs expected near 75 this afternoon. The overcast skies may linger, but we should catch a few bright breaks later. If you have outdoor plans, pack a light jacket, but don’t let the clouds dampen your spirits. Looking ahead, we expect similar weather through the weekend, which should be perfect for getting outside.
In real estate, Charlotte continues to see a steady market. Median home prices are holding at around 420 thousand dollars, and the pace of sales in South End and Plaza Midwood neighborhoods remains brisk as we move into May. Job seekers will notice new opportunities, especially in healthcare and technology sectors, with over 2,000 open positions reported citywide this week. Uptown also welcomes a new coworking space near Trade and Tryon, signaling growth for local startups.
Charlotte’s cultural scene is bustling this week. The Queen City Jazz Festival kicks off tomorrow night at Romare Bearden Park, promising live music, local food trucks, and family fun. Art lovers can catch the closing weekend of the Spring Modern Art Showcase at the Mint Museum. For sports fans, the Charlotte Knights are back at Truist Field tonight after a thrilling win against Durham, and UNC Charlotte celebrates a victory in the conference baseball tournament.
Schools are also making headlines, with Myers Park High’s robotics team finishing top five at the state championships, bringing home well-earned recognition for STEM excellence.
We end today with a feel-good story: neighbors in the Belmont community came together to revitalize Cordelia Park over the weekend, planting trees and painting murals, showing that a little teamwork goes a long way in making Charlotte shine.
This has been Charlotte Local Pulse. We’ll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
