Episode Synopsis

Good morning, this is San Diego Local Pulse for Sunday, July 27, 2025. We wake up to a mostly cloudy start, with highs near 73 and lows around 64 today. The National Weather Service tells us most of the county will see mild coastal clouds clearing up by late morning, making it ideal for early walks around Balboa Park, a jog along the Embarcadero, or heading out to Comic-Con in the Gaslamp Quarter. As we look ahead, temperatures stay mild with only slight chances of drizzle early in the week.Turning to breaking news, San Diego police are investigating a tragic homicide in Oak Park. Officers confirm a domestic violence incident on Euclid Avenue ended in a murder-suicide, leaving two people in their 50s dead. Authorities say there is no ongoing threat to our community, but it’s a sobering reminder about mental health and support resources in our city. Last night, Coast Guard crews responded quickly to the San Diego Bay, rescuing a child from a sinking boat near Shelter Island. Reports credit their fast action with averting greater danger on the busy harbor.At City Hall, the county Democratic Party chair announced plans to step down and run for a seat on the Board of Supervisors, signaling potential changes in local leadership as we approach fall election season. In business news, several Rite Aid pharmacies across San Diego, including the one on University Avenue, begin their closure process this week. Confusion over prescription transfers is affecting hundreds of customers, so city officials urge anyone impacted to check their medication pickup details with their new provider.On the cultural front, Comic-Con continues to steal the spotlight, drawing more than 130,000 fans downtown. Attendees were buzzing Saturday after a sneak peek of the Project Hail Mary adaptation, starring Ryan Gosling, along with first-looks at Coyote vs. Acme and a new Star Trek foray. With streets closed off in the Gaslamp and crowds in full cosplay, local businesses are seeing brisk sales after a bruising past year.The real estate market remains tight, with median home prices hovering just above $950,000. Local agents say listings in Mission Valley and University Heights average just six days on the market before going under contract, which keeps competition high for buyers. In San Diego’s job market, recent tech sector layoffs are balanced by new hiring in defense and tourism, with around 3,200 job openings reported across the county last week.Sportswise, the Padres close out their road series against the Cardinals today, with Seth Kolek starting on the mound. Local high schoolers at Mission Bay just finished an undefeated summer league in beach volleyball, bringing home another banner. Meanwhile, kids at the Boys and Girls Club in Logan Heights wrapped up their Reading Challenge, logging more than 5,000 books this summer—a bright spot worth celebrating.For community events, tonight there’s twilight concerts at La Jolla Cove, food truck Fridays at Waterfront Park, and tomorrow’s Little Italy Farmers Market will offer extended hours. As we wrap up, let’s remember our local heroes—the Coast Guard crew who rescued a child this weekend, and all the first responders keeping us safe.Thanks for tuning in and be sure to subscribe for tomorrow’s updates.
