  • Summary

  • Good morning, this is Albuquerque Local Pulse for January 24, 2025.

    We're starting with breaking news from the past few days. The Albuquerque Police Department has been busy investigating several incidents, including a fatal pedestrian collision on Tramway and a shooting in northeast Albuquerque that left a man wounded. Additionally, a stolen car caused mayhem in the North Valley, leading to one arrest. Our thoughts are with the families affected by these incidents.

    In other news, the APD recently released their 2024 homicide stats, revealing that detectives solved 79 homicide cases and charged or identified a record 127 murder suspects. This is a significant achievement for our city's law enforcement.

    Moving on to the job market, we have some exciting news. The cybersecurity sector in Albuquerque is booming, with major employers like Sandia National Laboratories and Intel actively hiring. In fact, the city is expected to see a 32% growth in cybersecurity jobs through 2032, with average salaries ranging from $55,000 to $180,000. If you're looking to break into tech, this is definitely the move. Certifications like CompTIA Security+ can get your foot in the door, and local education institutions like UNM and CNM are supporting this growing sector.

    In real estate news, we don't have any major updates today, but we'll keep an eye on the market for you.

    At city hall, the council meeting schedule is available online, with the next meeting set for February 3. We encourage you to stay informed about decisions that affect your daily life.

    Weather-wise, it's looking like a beautiful day today, with plenty of sunshine and mild temperatures. However, we do expect some wind later in the day, so hold onto your hats.

    In new business activity, we're excited to see the growth of local companies, but we don't have any specific openings or closings to report today.

    Looking ahead to community events, there are plenty of activities to enjoy in the next few days. Be sure to check out the local event calendars for more information.

    In local school achievements, the Lobos recently won against San Diego State, 62-48. Congratulations to the team!

    On a feel-good note, we want to highlight the Pay It 4ward initiative, which recognizes individuals making a positive impact in our community. Nominate someone you know who's making a difference.

    Finally, in today's crime report, we want to remind you to stay safe and aware of your surroundings. The APD is investigating several incidents, including a fatal crash near the Uptown Shopping Center and a domestic incident involving an off-duty police officer. We'll keep you updated on any developments.

    This has been Albuquerque Local Pulse. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
