Listen ""Logan Towing Death, Hidden Fire Cams, and Local Music Awards: San Diego News Roundup""
Episode Synopsis
Good morning, this is San Diego Local Pulse for Tuesday, April 29, 2025.We begin in Logan Heights, where police are investigating after a man was found dead in an impounded SUV late last night. Officers say the vehicle had been towed to the city lot earlier in the day and the discovery is sparking questions about towing protocols across the city. In El Cajon, local officials and fire officials are facing concerns after hidden cameras were found in the women’s bunkrooms at the city’s fire station. Investigations are underway, and city leaders are assuring the public and staff that privacy and safety are top priorities moving forward.The San Diego City Council continues to tackle tough issues. A recent meeting put the spotlight back on open-air prostitution in Barrio Logan. Police are reporting a more than 15 percent decrease in these incidents over the past year, thanks to stepped-up enforcement, but residents say more work is needed to keep neighborhoods safe and welcoming.Turning to the weather, our mild stretch continues this morning. We are looking at highs in the upper 60s along the coast and low 70s inland. Skies stay partly cloudy but there’s no rain in the forecast. It’s going to be ideal if you’re heading out to Humphreys by the Bay tonight, where the 34th Annual San Diego Music Awards kick off. This beloved event celebrates local artists and always draws a big crowd.San Diego’s job market is holding steady. The latest numbers show our unemployment rate dipped to just under four and a half percent this spring. The biggest job gains came from healthcare, education, and hospitality, with over six thousand new positions filled between January and February. Construction and business services also made modest gains, though some sectors like manufacturing and trade saw small declines.Looking ahead, there’s plenty happening across the city. If you’re in the creative spirit, the San Diego Fine Woodworkers Association is hosting classes today. For early risers, Journal Sessions for Women and Femmes are happening at Twinkle Boba on Convoy Street. And for music lovers, again, don’t miss tonight’s San Diego Music Awards at Shelter Island.In sports, the Padres are making headlines after they hosted a special camp for military kids this weekend, offering them a break from the usual routine and bringing the community closer together. On the high school front, we’re congratulating our local students for a strong showing at last week’s regional science fair and for several schools advancing to the state track finals.Finally, a feel-good note from Santee, where an off-duty dispatcher and two deputies jumped into action to rescue a young boy with autism who wandered onto Highway 52. Thanks to their quick thinking, he’s home safe and the community is once again reminded of the everyday heroes living among us.This has been San Diego Local Pulse. We’ll see you tomorrow with more local updates.This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI
