Good morning, this is Tulsa Local Pulse for March 22, 2025.
We're starting off with some breaking news from last night. A shooting occurred at the QuikTrip on North Lewis Avenue. Two individuals were involved in an altercation at the ATM inside the store, which escalated and resulted in one person being shot. The injured party is currently undergoing surgery, while the other individual is cooperating with the police investigation.
In city hall news, Mayor Monroe Nichols met with Governor Stitt yesterday to discuss recent tribal rulings and their impact on Tulsa. We're expecting a press conference later today to address the outcomes of this meeting and potential changes to city policies.
The weather today is looking favorable for outdoor activities. We're expecting sunny skies with a high of 75 degrees, perfect for the Tulsa Botanic Garden's Spring Bloom Festival kicking off this afternoon.
On the business front, we're excited to announce the grand opening of a new tech hub in downtown Tulsa. The facility, located on Boston Avenue, is expected to create over 200 jobs in the coming months. Speaking of jobs, the Tulsa job market continues to show strength, with unemployment rates holding steady at 3.5%.
In real estate news, the Tulsa housing market remains competitive but is showing signs of stabilization. The median home price in Tulsa now stands at $210,000, up 4.5% from last year. Homes are spending an average of 35 days on the market, giving buyers a bit more breathing room.
For sports fans, the University of Tulsa's basketball team advanced to the second round of the NCAA tournament last night with a thrilling overtime victory. They'll face their next opponent tomorrow evening.
Looking ahead to community events, don't forget about the Tulsa Farmers' Market reopening for the season tomorrow morning at Cherry Street. Also, the Admiral Twin Drive-In is hosting a special retro movie night on Sunday, featuring classic films from the 1980s.
In education news, Booker T. Washington High School's robotics team has qualified for the national championships after their impressive performance at the regional competition last weekend.
On a lighter note, we're happy to report that the Tulsa Zoo welcomed a new baby giraffe yesterday afternoon. The zoo is asking for the public's help in naming the newest member of their family, so be sure to stop by and submit your suggestion.
Today's crime report includes an update on a car theft that occurred yesterday near 21st and Memorial. Tulsa Police arrested Chaz Jones after he allegedly stole a running vehicle from an apartment complex. Jones is currently in custody at the Tulsa County jail.
This has been Tulsa Local Pulse. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
