Good morning, this is Albuquerque Local Pulse for Sunday, November ninth, and we're glad you're tuning in.We start with breaking news. Albuquerque police are investigating an overnight double homicide in the South Valley on Entrada Bonita Southwest. Bernalillo County deputies have one suspect in custody after the incident, which happened late last night. In another significant case, a suspicious death on the city's Northeast side is under review. Community members near Wyoming and Spain are seeing increased police presence and are encouraged to share any helpful information with authorities.A major development from City Hall this weekend: Albuquerque has reached an agreement with the U.S. Department of Justice to end its longstanding police reform settlement. For a decade, this agreement has shaped APD operations, and now city officials say this new chapter will shift focus to more local oversight and community-based initiatives. Watch for upcoming public meetings at Civic Plaza to address resident questions.For families depending on food assistance, good news today. Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham confirms New Mexicans will receive their full SNAP benefits for November. Funding was loaded onto EBT cards in advance, so if your regular benefits are usually deposited between the first and the eighth, you should already see funds available. This means nearly half a million New Mexicans, including many here in Albuquerque, can expect the support as usual this month.Turning to the weather, sunshine greets us this Sunday morning, but it’s one of those famous New Mexico curveballs: a cold front sweeps in by late afternoon. That means picnic plans or visits to the Balloon Fiesta Park’s trails are best made early. Temperatures start near sixty this morning and should reach the mid-seventies before dropping suddenly after sundown. A light jacket is your best friend today, with cooler, breezy conditions tomorrow.In the job market and real estate news, Albuquerque’s unemployment rate is holding steady at a little over five percent, with about 500 new job postings in health care and tech this week. The real estate market shows slight cooling, with median home prices hovering in the low three hundreds and about 150 homes hitting the market in the last few days. Prospective buyers are finding more choice, although interest rates remain a challenge.New business activity around town is echoing the national trend. Local favorite Bosque Bakery has just opened its second location near Central and Carlisle, bringing fresh bread and coffee to Nob Hill. However, we’re saying goodbye to Zendo Coffee’s original downtown spot as the owner pivots to their South Valley roastery and events space.Upcoming community events include tomorrow’s Community Resource Fair hosted by Representative Melanie Stansbury at the Juan Tabo Library, offering free flu shots, family legal advice, and utility assistance. Looking ahead, get ready for the Veterans Day parade along Central Avenue this Tuesday morning—roads between Eubank and Louisiana will be closed starting at nine.In sports, the UNM Lobos picked up an impressive win yesterday against UT Arlington, with a final score of seventy-four to fifty-six. The Lobos women’s basketball team faces North Carolina A and T today at The Pit—tip-off is at one, and kids under twelve get in free. At the high school level, Eldorado High’s cross-country team celebrated a state championship after coming from behind on the final lap at Balloon Fiesta Park.Let’s not forget to celebrate the good in our community. Last night, dozens of volunteers with Locker 505 delivered winter coats to students in need at Montezuma Elementary, making sure that Albuquerque’s kids are warm as temperatures drop. Pay it 4ward, indeed.A quick note on traffic: lanes have reopened on I-40 Westbound near University after a crash late last night. Police remind us to drive safe and expect heavier traffic this afternoon as families head home from weekend events.That wraps up another busy day in Albuquerque.
