サマリー
あらすじ・解説
Good morning, this is Albuquerque Local Pulse for Thursday, April 17, 2025.
We start our day with breaking news and updates that impact all of us. Two men were arrested for allegedly setting fire to a bike vault at the University of New Mexico, a stark reminder of the need for vigilance around our campus spaces. In another major development, Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham has exercised her line-item veto power, rejecting 18 bills from the most recent legislative session and sparking discussion on the direction of state policy. Meanwhile, District Attorney Sam Bregman has formally announced his candidacy for governor, bringing the local political spotlight even more squarely on Albuquerque.
Turning to public safety, the city is responding to a recent spike in crime along Central Avenue and the east side with a deployment of 60 to 70 National Guard personnel. Their focus will be supporting police with tasks like scene security and traffic control, freeing up officers to address drug and juvenile crime concerns. Just this week, a shooting near Morrow Avenue left an elderly woman dead, and an armed suspect fired multiple rounds into a home in the War Zone area before ramming his truck into police vehicles on April 15. Albuquerque Police have made an arrest and are continuing their investigation. There was also a fatal motorcycle crash in the foothills near Menaul and Jane, and several recent shootings at local Walmarts on Coors, putting an extra spotlight on Westside safety.
Despite these challenges, our community spirit remains strong. Volunteers at local food banks have been recognized for their hard work, and a “Pay It 4ward” honoree this week showed how small acts of kindness can make a big impact. On the job front, Albuquerque’s employment market is steady, with several hundred new job postings in healthcare and hospitality this week. In real estate, home prices along Tramway and the North Valley are holding steady, with median sales near four hundred thousand dollars, and there are more homes hitting the market as we head into spring.
Culturally, we are celebrating the Route 66 Centennial with music and events all week. Tonight at The Dirty Bourbon, country artist Chase Bryant takes the stage with special guests the Brandon Saiz Band, promising a lively night out for music fans. The Albuquerque Isotopes had their home opener earlier this week, honoring Jackie Robinson, and the team is back at Rio Grande Credit Union Field this Friday for another match-up.
Looking at weather, it’s a beautiful spring day with sunny skies and highs expected in the mid-80s, perfect for outdoor activities or a sunset stroll along Tingley Beach. We might see a few clouds late afternoon, but no major changes in the forecast until early next week.
Students at several local schools have reason to celebrate too, with the Highland High debate team taking home top honors at a statewide competition and the La Cueva Bears securing a narrow baseball win over Sandia.
That’s our look at today’s headlines and happenings. This has been Albuquerque Local Pulse. We’ll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
