Good morning, this is Albuquerque Local Pulse for Friday, September nineteenth. Our city wakes up to cool, clear skies, and just a touch of fall crispness. We’ll be mostly sunny, with highs topping out near eighty-two, so it’s a perfect day to get outside, visit Old Town, or cheer on the Lobos. Expect a breeze later in the afternoon, but nothing that should disrupt your plans.Turning to breaking news this morning, Albuquerque Police have launched a new drone program aimed at bolstering public safety and enhancing surveillance over high-crime areas. This move follows a challenging week, including a tragic incident in the Northeast Heights, where two teens were charged in the fatal shooting of seventeen-year-old Angelo Tafoya during a drug deal on Montgomery Boulevard. Police presence remains strong in that area, with ongoing investigations and increased patrols.We also want to note a new public safety alert — APD continues to ask residents in the Northeast Heights to report any suspicious activity as we see an uptick in property crimes and break-ins. Officers are focusing extra patrols around Wyoming and Academy, so stay vigilant and keep an eye on your neighborhood.Meanwhile, city hall is sharpening its focus as election season approaches. The City of Albuquerque is reminding all of us about new rules for campaign yard signs, including restrictions on placement in medians and public spaces. Signs must stay on private property—one per parcel, at eight feet max, and kept in good condition. As the mayor's race heats up, Everytown for Gun Safety has thrown its support behind Mayor Tim Keller’s re-election, citing his work on gun safety laws and a push for violence intervention programs.In positive community news, UNM announced a fourth consecutive year of rising enrollment, a bright spot for students and future job seekers in our area. Garcia’s Kitchen, a Rio Grande staple, is celebrating fifty years serving up New Mexico favorites — if you’re nearby, pop in for a slice of cake and a story about the city’s changing flavors.On the jobs front, hiring remains solid with roughly nine hundred new postings across the city this week, especially in healthcare and the tech sector. Real estate continues its summer pace, with home prices holding steady at around three hundred fifty thousand dollars across the metro.This weekend, the University of New Mexico hosts the William H. Tucker Intercollegiate men’s golf tournament at the Championship Course, drawing top teams from across the country. And fresh off their stunning victory over UCLA, the Lobos football team faces New Mexico State tomorrow night at Dreamstyle Stadium—expect a high-energy crowd and plenty of hometown pride.Schools are buzzing with excitement after Valley High’s robotics team clinched first place in state qualifiers, and Albuquerque High’s girls soccer posted a win over Sandia Prep last night.Before we go, we want to share a feel-good story. Neighbors around Tramway and Paseo del Norte have launched a community pantry, helping families stretch their budgets and connecting each other in new ways—one donated can at a time.Thanks for tuning in with us this morning.
