Good morning, this is Charlotte Local Pulse for Thursday, September 18th.

We wake up today to a difficult headline, as our community reels from the tragic news out of Steele Creek. Early yesterday on Cigar Court, a 4-year-old boy was shot and killed while sleeping in bed. According to neighbors and reports from WCNC Charlotte, the incident followed a car theft in the area and led to shots being fired into the home. Charlotte-Mecklenburg police moved swiftly, making arrests: both Angelo Hudson and Jordan Chandler Davis are now charged with first-degree murder in connection to this heartbreaking event. Our thoughts are with the family and all those affected as the investigation continues.

Turning now to weather, we are starting the day with mild temperatures mostly in the upper 60s, climbing to the low 80s by afternoon. Expect some clouds through lunch, but sunshine should return later in the day, making for comfortable outdoor conditions. This evening promises to be pleasant, perfect for any plans out at Romare Bearden Park or along South End’s Rail Trail.

From City Hall, council members have advanced a new affordable housing initiative aimed at expediting permits for projects near public transit. This is part of a broader push to address rising housing costs—rents in central Charlotte have climbed roughly four percent since last fall. City leaders say the goal is to help more working families live closer to work and transit.

Real estate activity remains brisk, with about 120 new listings hitting the market this week and the median home price hovering just under 370 thousand dollars. Rental properties in the Plaza Midwood and NoDa areas are also seeing strong demand, with open houses drawing crowds even on weekdays.

On the job front, several Charlotte tech firms along Tryon Street are announcing plans to hire. Red Ventures is looking to add about 50 positions in digital marketing, and Honeywell has posted openings for engineers and cybersecurity specialists. For folks looking to connect, the Charlotte Career Fair is happening tomorrow at the Convention Center starting at 10 a.m.

School pride is running high this week. Myers Park High celebrated a big win over Providence, while the robotics team at West Charlotte took home first place in the regional qualifiers last night. Congratulations to both groups for making us proud.

Music and culture in the city are in full swing as we head into the weekend. The Charlotte Jazz Festival returns to Uptown tonight, with acts performing at Founders Hall and the Belk Theater. Also, don’t miss the Food Truck Friday event at Sycamore Brewing, where several new vendors are making their Charlotte debut.

A quick look at sports: the Panthers are prepping for their matchup against the Falcons this Sunday at Bank of America Stadium, hoping to bounce back after last week’s tough loss. Meanwhile, Charlotte FC is riding a three-game winning streak and plays at home Friday night.

On a brighter note, local volunteers this morning gathered at Freedom Park to clean up storm debris, inspired by a West Boulevard resident who organized the event after seeing her neighbors’ yards impacted by last weekend’s heavy rain. It’s reminders like this of how we come together during tough times that make our city shine.
