Let’s dive right into the news shaping our city today.Our top story this morning is out of the Northeast Heights, where officers are investigating a fatal shooting late last night at the Enclave Apartments on Osuna Road. First responders arrived on the scene just before 10:30 and found one person dead. Police are continuing their investigation, and neighbors are understandably shaken. We’re keeping the victim’s loved ones in our thoughts today.In breaking developments from city hall, fourteen business owners in downtown are facing new fines as the city steps up enforcement of the Downtown Vacant Premises Ordinance. The city warns that these properties, many near Central and 6th, must get improvements underway or face stricter penalties. The crackdown aims to boost safety and encourage more business activity downtown, so we may see some changes to the look and feel of our central corridors soon.Politics are heating up too, as a new round of polling suggests that Mayor Tim Keller could have a tough battle ahead in November. According to independent coverage, several challengers appear competitive as candidate filings are wrapping up. Expect plenty of campaign signs along Paseo del Norte and Lomas in the weeks ahead.Albuquerque’s job market remains steady, with around two hundred new listings posted citywide just in the past week. Most of those are clustered around healthcare, education, and software, which locals say reflects where demand is strongest. On the real estate front, median home prices have hovered near three hundred fifty thousand dollars, and homes in Taylor Ranch and Four Hills are still selling in under two weeks—a sign that buyers are staying active even as interest rates tick up.Turning to culture and events, there’s genuine excitement building around the Murder Mystery experience happening this weekend, described as a chance to solve a case right in the heart of Old Town.
