Good morning, this is Nashville Local Pulse for Thursday, September 11, 2025. We begin today with breaking news from downtown, where a pedestrian is in critical condition after a hit-and-run early this morning at the intersection of 4th Avenue South and Korean Vets Boulevard. Authorities are searching for a blue SUV and asking for any witnesses to come forward as Metro Police investigate this incident. Switching to broader headlines, we have updates on a major arrest. Dajon Marcel Graham, wanted for first-degree murder and weapons charges in Detroit, was captured right here in our city on Smith Springs Road following a multi-agency effort. Graham is now in Davidson County Jail awaiting extradition back to Michigan, after a smooth arrest that happened without incident. Also making news today, many in our community are pausing to reflect on the anniversary of September 11. Ceremonies are happening across the city and Middle Tennessee, including multiple remembrance events in downtown Nashville, Franklin, and at MTSU in Murfreesboro. A special moment of silence is planned this morning across local government buildings, while the Nashville Sounds are holding a First Responders Night at the ballpark to honor our heroes.On the city hall front, conversations on affordable housing continue as local leaders discuss a proposal to create a new city land bank.

Turning to weather, we can expect a warm, humid day, with temperatures reaching into the upper eighties.
