We're starting off the new year with a look at some of the major developments in our city over the past few days.First off, let's talk about safety. There was a significant incident on December 31, 2024, when a shootout at a southwest area park led to the tragic death of one teenager. The Albuquerque Police Department is still investigating the incident, which occurred around 6:20 PM at 8500 Old Cottonwood Ave SW[1].In other news, the APD has been busy with several arrests, including the apprehension of suspects involved in kidnapping and sex trafficking minors in the city's War Zone. Additionally, an off-duty APD officer was arrested for drunk driving and speeding on December 26, 2024[1].Moving on to the job market, the latest unemployment rate for Albuquerque stands at 4.10% as of October 2024, which is slightly higher than the previous month but still lower than the long-term average of 5.05%[2]. We'll keep an eye on this and bring you updates as new data becomes available.In real estate, there's been some notable activity.
