Good morning, this is Albuquerque Local Pulse for Friday, October 10, 2025.We start with breaking news from yesterday afternoon, where a shooting incident at the Sadie's on Academy restaurant at 5400 Academy Road NE left one person injured. Details are still emerging, but local police say the situation began as a theft that escalated, leading to gunfire. Both the alleged thief and a restaurant employee are facing charges. We’ll keep you updated as the case develops, and our thoughts are with everyone affected during what can only be described as a tense moment in our community. Elsewhere, our hearts are heavy after a pedestrian, reportedly a medical worker, was tragically killed in a crash near UNM Hospital last night. Albuquerque Police responded to the scene after a vehicle struck the victim shortly before 7 p.m. near the hospital. This latest fatal crash on our city streets is a sobering reminder to slow down and stay aware, especially as the nights are getting darker earlier.Turning to city hall, Bernalillo County is taking a strong stand to protect immigrant families. County commissioners yesterday announced new measures aiming to limit how, when, and where federal immigration agents can operate—especially near sensitive spots like schools, hospitals, and shelters. Mayor Tim Keller, who previously signed an executive order on immigrant rights, emphasized that we are one community. While some experts caution that court enforcement remains a gray area, these moves aim to calm fears among our immigrant neighbors and workforce. The measures are set to go before the full county commission for discussion and vote on Monday, October 14, and public comment will be heard that day.On the jobs front, Albuquerque’s economy is holding steady with recent data showing unemployment just under 4 percent—about average for our region. The real estate market, meanwhile, continues its slow but steady climb. Median home prices are inching closer to $300,000, which is another reminder that finding affordable housing can be tough for many families right now. If you’re looking for work, keep an eye on construction and healthcare, as those sectors are always hiring—plus, the seasonal rush at local restaurants and retail is starting to pick up.Culturally, there’s a lot happening around town. The ABQ BioPark Botanic Garden’s “Lebanon and Beyond” exhibit is now open, offering a welcome escape and a splash of botanical beauty for visitors and families. Local musicians are gearing up for weekend gigs at venues like the Kimo Theater and Launchpad, so catch a show if you’re looking for something to do tonight or over the weekend.In sports, the University of New Mexico women’s volleyball team played hard last night at San Diego State. Despite a slow start, the Lobos fought their way through the final two sets, but ultimately lost to San Diego State in four. We’re proud of their hustle and hope they’ll carry that momentum into their next matchup.Looking ahead, the weekend weather is shaping up to be mild, with highs around 70 and mostly sunny skies—perfect for the outdoor markets, the Rail Yards Market, and a handful of community fundraisers happening Saturday and Sunday. If you’re heading out, remember to take a jacket for those cool mornings.On a lighter note, a local elementary school on the west side was recognized this week for their outstanding literacy program, giving dozens of young students a real boost in reading skills. It’s one more tiny victory for our community, proving that teamwork and care can make a big difference in kids’ lives.Thank you for starting your day with us.
