We start our day with breaking news close to home. Last night, a man wanted in three states was arrested after a police pursuit that wound through Belmont before ending with his capture. Meanwhile, emergency crews in west Charlotte were called out to a two-alarm fire at a recycling center, keeping nearby streets like Wilkinson Boulevard busy with activity. Fortunately, no serious injuries are reported, but smoke did slow traffic in the area as firefighters worked through the evening.
Turning to weather, we are under another heat advisory with highs expected to hit the upper nineties today. That humidity is going to make it feel hotter, so if you have to be outdoors, be sure you stay hydrated and take frequent breaks. Some Amtrak trains in the region are canceled today due to lingering severe weather impacts from the weekend, so double-check schedules if you’re traveling.
For public safety, the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department is investigating multiple serious incidents from the past few days. Over the weekend, one person was killed and two others hurt in a shooting along North Caldwell Street near East Fifth in Uptown. Police continue to search for leads and ask anyone with information to come forward. In another incident, a Charlotte police officer was shot in the leg while off-duty Sunday morning at Asher Apartments on North Church Street during a disturbance call. The officer is recovering, and the investigation is ongoing. In better news, CMPD is ramping up efforts to dispose of illegal fireworks following numerous complaints over the Fourth of July holiday.
At city hall, updates include a planned closure in south Charlotte for a major utility project, which will detour traffic on Sharon Road West. Officials urge us to plan extra time if we’re headed that way this week.
On the jobs and business front, Scheneeberger has announced its first South Carolina operation just across the border, likely bringing more jobs to the greater Charlotte workforce. Tyber Creek Pub has officially reopened in the Gold District in South End, offering a refreshed space for regulars and newcomers. For homeowners, recent storms have left some residents frustrated with utility response and tree removal services.
The real estate market remains active, with roughly two hundred listings coming online this week, and prices holding steady as families look for homes before the new school year.
For events, there’s something for everyone in Charlotte. The Your704 Weekender highlights low-cost things to do, and a new roundabout is under construction in Union County, aiming to improve summer traffic flow. Music lovers can look forward to outdoor concerts at Romare Bearden Park, and community centers across the city are hosting summer camps and arts workshops.
Quick shoutout to Independence High School’s baseball team for winning their summer league tournament, bringing home another trophy for Charlotte.
And for a feel-good note, local firefighter teams are rallying around a colleague who was injured while providing patient care at a crash in Uptown, showing the spirit of support that defines our city.
This has been Charlotte Local Pulse. We’ll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
