概要

 Good morning, this is El Paso Local Pulse for Thursday, January 22. We start with breaking news from Camp East Montana at Fort Bliss, where the El Paso Medical Examiners office ruled the January 3 death of 55-year-old Cuban detainee Geraldo Lunas Campos a homicide due to asphyxia from neck and torso compression while restrained by law enforcement. This marks the third death there in recent months, prompting Congresswoman Veronica Escobar to demand a congressional briefing and the facilities shutdown. ICE maintains it was a suicide attempt, but witnesses claim otherwise, and two are set for depositions next month as the family plans a wrongful death suit. We handle this sensitively, as investigations continue.

Shifting to city hall, leaders are pushing El Paso Water for more transparency after a major water main break in Northeast El Paso near McCombs Bridge Road drained over 15 million gallons, leaving thousands without water and under a boil water notice. Representative Josh Acevedo called out inaccurate maps and delays, while the utility promises better crisis training and an after-action review to fix our aging 1950s pipes.

On public safety, the Council on Criminal Justice reports El Pasos homicide rate held steady last year amid a national drop, with overall crime down in 11 of 13 categories, including sharp falls in carjackings and thefts. No major incidents in the past 24 hours.

Air quality data from the Hispanic Access Foundation shows our PM2.5 levels at 6.7 micrograms per cubic meter, below EPAs standard but a reminder to limit outdoor time if you have respiratory issues, especially in our Latino neighborhoods.

Weather today brings sunny skies with highs near 62 degrees and light winds, perfect for events, though a cold front tomorrow drops us to the 40s, so bundle up for weekend outings.

New business is quiet, but UTEP researchers found high Chagas disease parasite levels in border insects, urging vector control. Jobs look strong with unemployment around 4 percent, and real estate sees median home prices at about $260,000, up 5 percent.

Upcoming, catch the El Paso Locomotive soccer scrimmage Saturday at Southwest University Park. Local schools report Burges Highs basketball team won 65-52 last night.

For a feel-good lift, community air monitors at our churches are educating folks on pollution, bridging science and daily life.
