Word on the streets of Austin is that it’s another busy week in the heart of Texas. I’m Morgan Riley, and as always, I’m here to help you stay informed and connected with your city. Let’s dive straight into what’s making headlines, what’s happening in our neighborhoods, and what you can look forward to around town.
Our top story today centers on a tragedy that’s touched many of us. Austin police are currently investigating the tragic death of a woman in East Austin. Officers responded to an urgent call at The Jordan at Mueller on Philomena Street Sunday morning, where they found a woman with serious injuries. She was taken to a nearby hospital, but sadly, she did not survive. Authorities have spoken with key witnesses, and while there’s no evidence of a larger pattern, investigators are asking anyone with information to contact the Austin Police Homicide Tip Line. This marks the city’s 21st homicide of 2025, a sobering reminder of the importance of community vigilance and support during tough times.
In other news, Austin Public Health is monitoring a second reported case of measles in Travis County this year. Officials are urging everyone to make sure vaccines are up to date, especially with the warming weather and festival season drawing larger crowds.
Now for a dose of hope from our local community. This week, the City of Austin awarded its Municipal Court the MTSI Traffic Safety Award for the sixth consecutive year, recognizing the city’s steady efforts to make our roads safer. Meanwhile, thousands of new affordable housing units are set to become available, expanding services to Austinites transitioning from homelessness. Efforts like these remind me that Austin’s innovative spirit isn’t just a thing of the past—it’s alive and well today.
If you’re looking to get outdoors, don’t forget that National Arbor Day celebrations are underway. You can vote for Austin’s Tree of the Year and even take part in neighborhood planting events. This Friday, support local businesses at SmallBizAustin.org, where you can register for free workshops running May fifth through the ninth.
Turning to weather: expect sunny skies for much of the week, with daytime highs in the low 80s, dipping into the 60s overnight. Perfect weather for a stroll down South Congress or a picnic at Zilker Park.
As we wrap up, it’s clear that Austin continues to face challenges with courage and compassion. From public safety to public health, from historic streets to new beginnings, this city keeps rolling forward—reminding us, as classic Austinites say, to keep it weird, but also, to keep it kind.
