概要

 Good morning, this is Charlotte Local Pulse for February 7, 2026. We start with breaking news from CMPD, where detectives continue investigating a homicide in the 9700 block of Callabridge Court in the North Division yesterday morning. Officers responded to a shooting around 10:30 a.m., found the victim with a gunshot wound, and pronounced them dead on scene. They later detained a person of interest in the Freedom Division with help from SWAT, no further incidents reported. CMPD urges tips to 704-432-8477 or Crime Stoppers anonymously. Our hearts go out to the family as the probe moves forward sensitively.

Shifting to city hall updates, a federal audit flags 18 non-compliance areas in CATS safety plans, amid concerns over bus fights, light rail stabbings like the recent ones involving Zarena Zerutska and Kenyan Doby, and calls for more security and staff protections. Transit riders note some improvements since last year, but confidence needs rebuilding around key spots like the transit center.

Our job market stays strong, with Charlotte leading metro areas in over-the-year employment growth at about 38,000 jobs, or 2.7 percent up, per BLS data. Finance, healthcare, and tech drive it, though tech postings dipped lately while health-care surges, according to Indeed. Over 48,000 openings citywide mean solid opportunities for us.

Real estate tilts toward buyers, with inventory up nearly 29 percent in January per Realtor.com, as homes linger longer on the market. Median home prices hover around 235,000 dollars, rents about 1,200 monthly, making neighborhoods like Chantilly and Providence Crossing more accessible.

Recent snow and ice stalled Uptown foot traffic for two weekends, hitting businesses hard, but Super Bowl buzz promises recovery this weekend. Weather today brings mild temps in the low 50s, partly sunny with no major impacts on events, though watch for lingering slick spots on bridges like I-77 overpasses. Outlook stays dry through Monday.

Sports wise, our Charlotte 49ers womens basketball team hosts Wichita State at 3 p.m. today in Halton Arena, aiming to build on their 10-13 record and recent win over Tulane. And Charlotte Symphony director Kwame Ryan just nabbed a Grammy, boosting our cultural scene.

Mark your calendars for community events: a forum with Councilman Malcolm Graham tomorrow near Plaza Midwood, plus family-friendly festivals kicking off midweek. Local CMS schools report strong admin hires, and for a feel-good note, neighborhood cleanups in Sardis Woods united folks against NCDOT traffic worries.
