Good morning, this is Albuquerque Local Pulse for Thursday, October 23, 2025. We start today with breaking news on Old Coors Drive, where a heavy police presence is calming after officers detained several people and others remain barricaded. Police are focusing efforts between Salvador Road and Sunset Gardens Road, so let’s keep clear of the area while investigations continue. Meanwhile, a suspect in the recent deadly home invasion in the Foothills neighborhood has been arrested, offering some relief for residents there as APD detectives assure us the investigation is progressing swiftly.In court news, the New Mexico Supreme Court has denied the city’s appeal in the case about how Albuquerque handles homeless encampments. This lawsuit, brought by eight residents, claims the city’s method of clearing camps unfairly destroys personal belongings without allowing people to reclaim them. City leaders say this ruling could change how we see and address homeless camps, and they’re preparing for further court reviews.Weather this morning feels crisp and cool across the valley. We’re looking at mild temperatures in the low 60s, climbing to the upper 70s by the afternoon. No rain is forecast, so outdoor events and travel should go smoothly. Drivers should be aware of residual delays on I-40 near University following yesterday’s crash. And earlier today, a minor collision at Juan Tabo and Comanche sent one person to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, so caution is still encouraged in that area.Jobs and real estate in Albuquerque see new shifts this week. According to mayoral candidate Mayling Armijo, more than 800 new jobs have been added in the city over the past month, especially in tech and hospitality. On the housing front, listings remain steady, with about 950 homes currently available for sale and an average asking price just under $324,000—steady numbers that suggest the local market is holding strong.Business activity brings good news for food lovers—a new vegan bakery is opening up on Menaul and Louisiana, promising local pastries with a healthy twist. On the flip side, a long-time coffee shop on Central near UNM is closing after 18 years, with owners citing rising rents.Culture comes alive tonight at Popejoy Hall, where Moulin Rouge! The Musical launches its traveling production. The show runs through Sunday and has already sold out several dates. For music fans, local jazz group Sunburned Sage performs at Sister Bar on Central this Saturday, and it’s expected to draw quite a crowd.Community events include a fall festival for families at Balloon Fiesta Park on Friday night, featuring pumpkin painting and live bluegrass. Also, don’t forget early voting and registration deadlines for local elections are wrapping up. Polling locations are open across the city, so let’s make our voices heard.Our schools report a big win this week—Eldorado High’s soccer team clinched the district title, and APS elementary students placed in the top three statewide at the math invitational.In crime reports, APD continues its crackdown on property crime. Officers arrested a shoplifting suspect in a neon shirt at the Montgomery Target, not far from the scene of a recent rash of thefts. In a more serious update, authorities found a woman deceased in an arroyo off High Mesa Drive in the Mesa area, with investigations ongoing. As always, we encourage all listeners to stay alert and report suspicious activity.Finally, a feel-good story on our city’s college students: UNM volunteers spent yesterday cleaning up Tingley Beach after the Balloon Fiesta, removing over 800 pounds of trash. Their work keeps our city beautiful and builds pride in our shared spaces.Thanks for tuning in and remember to subscribe for daily updates. This has been Albuquerque Local Pulse.
