Good morning, this is Nashville Local Pulse for Sunday, October nineteenth. We hope you are waking up to a peaceful morning. Let’s start today with the city’s top news.Downtown Nashville is reeling after a fatal shooting early Saturday near Bridgestone Arena, where an argument over a pedicab fare turned deadly. Twenty-three-year-old Adrian Rivas-Romo, a visitor from Memphis, was shot in the head by a pedicab driver following a heated dispute and physical altercation. The driver, Christopher Jones, stayed at the scene and told police he fired in self-defense. Investigators recovered the firearm, and the District Attorney will be deciding if charges are appropriate. This tragedy has rattled locals and tourists, raising concerns about safety in our busy entertainment district.Meanwhile, in Bellevue, police are searching for a driver involved in a fatal hit-and-run on Old Hickory Boulevard at Rocky Lane. Sixty-three-year-old Robert Powell, from Arizona, was struck and later died at Vanderbilt Medical Center. The suspect vehicle is believed to be a large SUV or pickup truck. Metro Police are urging anyone with information or footage to reach out to Crime Stoppers. Incidents like this are sobering reminders to look out for each other on our city’s roads.Yesterday, thousands gathered at Bicentennial Mall for the latest “No Kings” protest, part of a wave of thirty-three such events held across Tennessee, focusing on civil rights, government accountability, and issues like immigrant protections and trans rights. The Nashville crowd, energized by live music from local artists including Allison Russell and Emmylou Harris, called for peaceful action and meaningful change.Let’s take a quick look at your weather. After last night’s scattered showers, we are in for a dry, partly cloudy day, with highs in the mid-seventies and a light breeze. It will be a great afternoon for outdoor plans, though you might want to grab a light jacket if you are heading out tonight, as temperatures dip into the low fifties.In our job market and business news, Nashville-based healthcare tech startup Venture Heal announced they are adding fifty new jobs at their new Gulch office, a sign that the city’s tech sector continues to boom. Local real estate agents are reporting that median home prices have stabilized around four hundred seventy thousand dollars as fall brings a modest uptick in new listings, especially in East Nashville and Green Hills.Schools are celebrating this week, as Maplewood High’s marching band took second place in the state invitationals and Hume-Fogg’s girls’ soccer squad secured a playoff berth with their win over Ensworth yesterday afternoon.For your weekend, don’t miss the Southern Festival of Books kicking off downtown and live sets at the Ryman with Margo Price and Charlie Worsham.
