Good morning, this is Albuquerque Local Pulse for Saturday, December 28, 2024. We're starting off with some breaking news from the past few days in our city. The Albuquerque Police Department has been busy, making significant arrests and tackling crime in various parts of the city. Recently, APD arrested a suspect in a November murder at a Central Avenue motel, and they also made 25 felony arrests and recovered three firearms during the fifth week of an operation in Southeast Albuquerque[1].Moving on to the job market, Albuquerque has seen a robust start to the year, defying national predictions. In January 2024, the city added nearly 2,500 positions, almost twice the anticipated number. This surge highlights resilience and growth in our local economy, particularly in industries like professional and business services, which saw a 4.7% increase in jobs over the year[2][5].In real estate news, while we don't have specific updates on notable property sales or new development projects today, it's worth noting that the city's economic growth could potentially lead to increased activity in the real estate sector.From city hall, the focus has been on public safety and community engagement. The APD has launched a public safety survey to understand community connections better and has been conducting operations to reduce crime in key areas[1].Weather-wise, today is expected to be mostly sunny with light rain and snow showers possible in parts of New Mexico. This shouldn't significantly impact today's activities and events, but it's always a good idea to check the latest forecast before heading out[3].In new business activity, while we don't have specific openings or closings to report today, the city's economic growth and job market expansion suggest a positive outlook for local businesses.Looking ahead to community events, there are several activities planned for the next few days, including Christmas tree recycling locations across Albuquerque and meal kits being handed out by Farmington Municipal Schools to support families over the winter break[3].In local school achievements, Donovan Dent was named the Mountain West Player of the Week, and the Lobos won against the VCU Rams at The Pit[3].For a feel-good community story, a stranger recently saved a family from an apartment fire in Southeast Albuquerque, highlighting the kindness and bravery of our community members[3].In today's crime report, APD has been actively addressing various incidents. A recent officer-involved shooting occurred near the McDonald's at 2801 Carlisle Blvd NE, and APD is investigating a death at a residence along Turquoise Ave NE[4].This has been Albuquerque Local Pulse.
