Good morning, this is Nashville Local Pulse for Saturday, July 26, 2025. It’s another warm start with thick clouds overhead around downtown, and temperatures are holding in the low 80s. We’re in for a steamy afternoon, reaching the mid 90s with humidity making it feel even warmer. There’s a good chance of some scattered showers and thunderstorms late in the day, so if you have outdoor plans around Centennial Park or heading to the farmers markets, be ready for possible quick downpours. Looking ahead, this heat is building through the weekend, with highs close to 98 by Monday, so keep your water handy and check on neighbors who might need extra support.We begin today with a difficult but significant legal update from Davidson County’s courthouse. Jared Dean Zisman has been sentenced to life in prison without parole for the brutal killing of his uncle on Edmonson Pike nearly four years ago, and for assaulting his mother and brother in the same incident. His mother survived but faces permanent injuries, and his brother was able to stop the attack before escaping and calling police. This case has weighed heavily on the family and our community and brings to a close a long and painful chapter. We hold everyone affected in our hearts today.In breaking crime news overnight, Metro Police are investigating a shooting in a restaurant parking lot on Nolensville Pike that sent two people to the hospital. Officers say this appears to be a case of road rage that escalated quickly. No suspects have been arrested yet and investigators are asking anyone with information to call Crime Stoppers. Meanwhile, police have increased visibility in the South Nashville neighborhood near Glencliff after recent reports of break-ins, encouraging us all to lock up and stay alert.At city hall, council members are closely watching a ruling from the Tennessee Supreme Court that could change how inmates on death row are treated during executions. The case centers on Byron Black, whose attorneys are fighting to have his heart implant safely disabled before the scheduled procedure. With Nashville being a health care hub, the court is pushing the Department of Correction to find a solution.The job market is showing summer strength. New postings for service industry roles in the Gulch and along Broadway are up nearly 7 percent from this time last year. Local recruitment agencies are also noting steady openings in tech and nursing, with pay in those sectors continuing upward.Real estate continues to be brisk, with over 400 homes listed just this past week and a new round of luxury condos announced for midtown, but with median prices holding above 520 thousand dollars, many first-time buyers are looking to Madison or Antioch for more affordable options.Nashville’s busy music weekend is already underway. Bands began loading into Nissan Stadium early for tonight’s Drum Corps International competition, a major event drawing fans and performers from far beyond Tennessee.

Hillsboro Village is hosting an outdoor movie and pet festival, so bring your furry friends for a night out.In sports, local high school athletes are battling tough conditions.
