Good morning, this is Nashville Local Pulse for Tuesday, April 15, 2025.
We start with a developing story from Metro Police, who are investigating a deadly shooting that occurred over the weekend. Authorities are working to determine if the incident was accidental. This follows a recent spike in gun-related incidents in our community, and police are urging anyone with information to come forward.
In weather, today is warm and breezy with highs reaching the mid-70s. We might see some late-day showers and storms, so keep an umbrella handy if you’re headed out. Looking ahead, cooler temperatures and more rain are expected later this week.
Over at City Hall, a new bill could permanently change how Tennesseans vote in local primaries. Lawmakers are debating a proposal to eliminate caucuses in favor of mandatory primary elections, a move that could increase voter participation. We’ll keep an eye on how that unfolds, as it could have significant implications for elections in Davidson County.
For those impacted by the severe storms earlier this month, there’s some relief. The IRS has extended tax-filing deadlines to November 3 for individuals and businesses in Tennessee. If you're planning to file today, you may now have extra time.
In the business world, there’s mixed news. We’re welcoming a new coffee spot, Roasters on 8th Avenue, which officially opens today. However, staffing issues at Nashville International Airport caused a temporary ground stop yesterday. Travelers reported delays, but things are back to normal this morning.
Sports fans, in a surprising move, Nico Iamaleava is no longer on the Tennessee Volunteers roster. The reasons are unclear, but this has stirred discussions among fans about the team’s future in the upcoming season.
Turning to real estate, median home prices in Nashville remain steady at $460,000, but inventory is creeping up, offering more options for buyers. For renters, rates are holding steady, with one-bedroom apartments averaging $1,800 per month across the city.
Music lovers, don’t miss the Dolly Parton exhibit at the Ryman Auditorium, now celebrating six decades of her iconic career. It’s running all week and offers a close look at her legacy.
In community news, congratulations go to the Pearl-Cohn High School robotics team for taking first place in the state finals over the weekend. Their winning design will represent Tennessee at nationals next month.
Lastly, a feel-good story to brighten your day: A Nashville family has been fostering and adopting medically complex children, earning them the nickname “Angels on Earth.” Their dedication has inspired neighbors to start a fundraiser to support these efforts.
This has been Nashville Local Pulse. Stay safe, and we’ll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
