Good morning, this is Albuquerque Local Pulse for January 8, 2025. We're starting off the day with some breaking news. Yesterday, a woman was injured in a daytime shooting near Central Avenue, with Albuquerque Police Department officers responding to the scene around 12:20 PM[1]. This incident highlights the ongoing concerns about public safety in our city.
On a more positive note, let's talk about the job market. Albuquerque's tech scene is booming, with major players like Intel and Amazon actively recruiting. The city currently has over 1,400 tech job openings, with average salaries exceeding $100,000. Intel's recent $3.5 billion investment in their Rio Rancho facility is expected to create 700 new jobs, further boosting the local economy[2].
In real estate news, the iconic 'Breaking Bad' house is up for sale for $4 million, offering a unique opportunity for fans of the show[5]. While we don't have the latest weekly median home prices and inventory levels, it's clear that Albuquerque's housing market remains vibrant.
Moving on to city hall, the City Council met on January 6 to discuss various proposals, including the Downtown Vacant Premises Ordinance aimed at activating vacant buildings in the downtown core[3]. These decisions have a direct impact on our daily lives and the overall development of our city.
Weather-wise, we're expecting a windy and warm weekend start before a cooldown. Today, you can enjoy the outdoors with temperatures expected to rise, but don't forget to bundle up for the cooler evenings ahead[5].
In new business activity, local galleries are teaming up to immerse downtown Albuquerque in music, food, drink, and artwork, offering a great way to explore the city's cultural scene[4].
Looking ahead to community events, the Al'burrr'querque Polar Plunge is set to support a fund created in memory of a lifeguard, providing a fun and meaningful way to engage with the community[5].
In local school achievements, the University of New Mexico has released a statement on a basketball player's lawsuit against the school and head coach, highlighting the challenges faced by our local sports teams[5].
On a feel-good note, Presbyterian Hospital has shared photos of the first babies born in 2025, bringing joy to many families in our city[5].
Finally, in today's crime report, we have several significant incidents to mention. A teen was killed in a shootout at a southwest area park on December 31, 2024, and an APD officer's police car was rammed by a suspect during a traffic stop. Additionally, a reported bomb threat closed numerous streets and businesses in northeast Albuquerque, emphasizing the need for vigilance and cooperation with law enforcement[1].
This has been Albuquerque Local Pulse. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
