Good morning, this is Albuquerque Local Pulse for Saturday, April 5, 2025. Let's dive into today’s news and happenings around our city.
We begin with breaking news from yesterday afternoon. A tragic shooting near 6900 Central Avenue SE, across from the Smoke City Smoke Shop, left one person dead and another injured. Police were called to the scene just after 3 PM and discovered the fatal victim outside the shop. The second person was found near an ART bus stop and is currently hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries. The ART station at Central and Louisiana has been temporarily closed as investigations continue. If traveling through this area, expect traffic disruptions and plan accordingly.
On a lighter note, spring is bringing some exciting cultural events our way. This afternoon, Civic Plaza will host the Hands Off! rally from 2 to 4 PM, part of a statewide movement advocating community solidarity. Meanwhile, the 32nd Annual César Chávez and Dolores Huerta Celebration is also taking place today. It's a fantastic opportunity to honor two iconic figures in civil rights history while enjoying music, food, and community spirit.
In sports, the Albuquerque Isotopes had a strong start to their season with an away game last night. Fans are gearing up for their first home game at Isotopes Park on Tuesday. For high school sports enthusiasts, mark your calendar for track and field meets continuing this weekend across several Albuquerque Public Schools venues. Local athletes have been putting on impressive performances, so it's a great way to show your support.
Turning to real estate, Albuquerque's housing market has seen steady activity this spring. The median home price in the city stands around $310,000, with a mix of new developments and historic homes feeding demand. If you're in the market, the open house scene this weekend could offer a few gems across Nob Hill and the North Valley.
The job market remains a mixed bag. The city continues to recruit for key public service roles, while local manufacturing shows growth. Keep an eye on openings at Sandia Labs and the University of New Mexico, both of which are hiring across various departments.
Weather-wise, Albuquerque is looking at a windy day with warm temperatures hovering in the mid-70s. Red flag warnings remain in place due to high winds, so avoid outdoor burning and secure any loose items around your property. The gusts could also impact outdoor events, but otherwise, it’s a great day to enjoy the sunshine.
Crime and safety updates include a shooting at the Walmart on Coors and Ouray earlier this week, where one person was killed amid chaotic scenes. Police are working to determine the circumstances. Meanwhile, a homeowner on the west side fatally shot an alleged intruder in what police are investigating as a possible justifiable homicide. These incidents are stark reminders to remain vigilant and look out for one another.
In community news, Albuquerque Fire Rescue teams are being praised for their quick response to a house fire early this week on Canyon Trail SW. Their efforts limited the damage and saved lives. On a feel-good note, volunteers with a local horse therapy program are making a big impact and are looking for more help. It's heartwarming to see such positive engagement happening in our community.
Finally, for those looking to get involved or explore, check out the Department of Senior Affairs' expanded 50+ Sports and Fitness programs running throughout the month. There’s something for everyone, whether it’s track events at La Cueva High or cornhole competitions citywide.
This has been Albuquerque Local Pulse. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates. Stay safe and enjoy your Saturday!
