  • Groundbreaking for Fox Cancer Center, City Hall updates, weather, crime, new businesses, and community stories - El Paso Local Pulse

    Groundbreaking for Fox Cancer Center, City Hall updates, weather, crime, new businesses, and community stories - El Paso Local Pulse
    2025/09/18
    Good morning, this is El Paso Local Pulse for Thursday, September 18, 2025. We start today with a big moment for our community as hundreds gathered yesterday for the groundbreaking of the new Fox Cancer Center at Texas Tech Health El Paso near Interstate 10 and Rick Francis Street. After years of planning, major gifts from the Fox and Hunt families, and a $30 million boost from county voters, the groundwork is laid for care that finally means families will not have to leave El Paso for top-tier cancer treatment. Leaders at the event called it a community effort built through teamwork, hope, and the promise of better health for all our neighbors. The center should open its doors by fall 2028 and represents a true turning point for healthcare in the Borderland.

    Moving to city hall, the El Paso County Commissioners Court holds a special session this morning, with several items expected to affect everyday life, from road improvements around Montana Avenue to updates on funding for youth mental health services and parks. These sessions are open to the public, and the agenda is posted online for anyone who wants a closer look at decisions shaping our neighborhoods.

    Turning to the weather, we are starting the day with cooler temps than last week. Highs near 82 degrees are making outdoor plans more inviting today, but watch for late afternoon winds gusting near Ascarate Park that could stir up some dust. Tonight, skies stay clear, and we head into a mild Friday with no rain in sight, giving the all clear for evening high school football.

    On the crime front, El Paso Police have released new details about a tragic shooting late last night in East El Paso, near Montwood Drive. A man was killed and his girlfriend injured when shots rang out at their home. The investigation is ongoing and police urge anyone with information to come forward. Elsewhere, deputies with the County Sheriff’s Office made an arrest after a foot chase on Montana Avenue, ending a string of local burglaries. Meanwhile, authorities report the death of a staffer for Congressman Tony Gonzales in Far East El Paso was found to be accidental, following a thorough investigation.

    In business news, The Green Table, a new farm-to-table restaurant, opens its doors this weekend on Mesa Street, bringing fresh ingredients and new jobs downtown. Across town, Fiesta Market on Alameda announced it will close next month, citing rising lease costs. Job openings in El Paso remain steady with around 2200 new listings this week, especially in healthcare and logistics.

    Local schools celebrate as Franklin High’s robotics team took first place at the state qualifying round, and Eastwood’s football squad edged past Bel Air in a close 21-20 win last night at Trooper Stadium, sparking big pride across campus. In real estate, average home prices sit just above 250 thousand dollars, and buyers remain active, especially in the Eastlake and Horizon City areas.

    Looking ahead, the Chalk the Block festival returns this Saturday downtown, filling San Jacinto Plaza with art, music, and food trucks. Families can also check out the El Paso Zoo’s Fall Fest kicking off Sunday.

    We end with a feel-good story: A group of neighbors from the Alameda neighborhood came together to surprise 88-year-old Maria Alvarez with a fully renovated garden, honoring her years of volunteering at the Sacred Heart Community Center. She called it the happiest day of her life.

  • El Paso Roundup: Arrests, Development, Cancer Center and Community Events

    El Paso Roundup: Arrests, Development, Cancer Center and Community Events
    2025/09/18
    Good morning, this is El Paso Local Pulse for Thursday, September 18, 2025.

    We wake up today under clear skies with highs expected to top out in the mid 80s. It’s perfect weather for school drop-offs, a neighborhood walk, or checking out one of our many outdoor events today. The forecast calls for continued sun and light winds, so no worries about rain disrupting our plans.

    Let’s start with breaking news from our streets. El Paso police have made two significant arrests in separate homicide cases this week. A 27-year-old woman, Alejandra Ramirez, is now in custody without bail after being charged in the stabbing death of a 63-year-old man found on Olive Avenue in South Central El Paso. Meanwhile, two men, Salvador Gomez and Manuel Gonzalez, face murder and assault charges after a fatal shooting tied to a personal dispute on Dale Douglas Drive in East El Paso. Both suspects remain behind bars with bonds set in the hundreds of thousands. These investigations show our officers acting swiftly to bring justice and keep our neighborhoods safer.

    Looking to City Hall, the ripple effects of cross-border development continue. Local officials are watching closely as Sunland Park leaders push for more transparency on Project Jupiter, a $165 billion data center proposal just across the state line. With the promise of thousands of tech jobs comes real concern about water supply and housing. City planners here in El Paso say they’re studying similar impacts, especially as our job market remains strong but faces strains on affordable housing.

    In real estate, inventory of homes under $300,000 remains tight, but we’ve seen several new listings in the Upper Valley and East Side. Local agents report bidding wars are driving prices up, especially near good schools. And on the job front, new hiring continues at hospitals and in logistics, with nearly 400 positions currently posted across the region, especially in healthcare and warehouse operations.

    Yesterday marked an emotional milestone for our community as leaders and survivors broke ground on the long-awaited Fox Cancer Center at Texas Tech Health El Paso, right off Interstate 10. Thanks to a major $5 million gift from the Hunt Family Foundation and coordinated efforts across public and private sectors, cancer patients in the Borderland will soon have access to top care without leaving home. Survivors spoke movingly about what this will mean for their families.

    Turning to our vibrant local events, tonight the El Paso Museum of History on Santa Fe hosts Ranchera Night, free and open to all, celebrating Mexican heritage with live music and dancing. Tomorrow kicks off the new season for El Paso Symphony Orchestra at the Plaza Theatre, and this weekend brings the Water Festival out at TecH2O on Montana Avenue, plus the family-friendly Cerveza Fest and Battle of the Bands at the County Coliseum. For music fans, mark your calendar for the Way Out West Fest in downtown on Saturday, September 27. Meanwhile, the El Paso Film Festival is just one week away with filmmaker Kevin Smith headlining opening night.

    On the community sports front, congratulations to Eastwood High's football team, picking up another win last night. And in academic achievement, Del Valle Middle School’s robotics club clinched a top spot in the West Texas regional qualifiers, drawing attention from district leaders.

    Before we go, a quick feel-good story to celebrate. Volunteers gathered along the River Trail near Ascarate Park to help clean up after last week’s storms. Families, students, and retirees pitched in side by side, collecting over 700 pounds of trash and planting native wildflowers. It’s a reminder that El Paso’s spirit is alive and well.

  • El Paso Border Security, Record UTEP Enrollment, and Local Events Roundup

    El Paso Border Security, Record UTEP Enrollment, and Local Events Roundup
    2025/09/14
    Good morning, this is El Paso Local Pulse for Sunday, September fourteenth. Let's take a look at what's happening around our city today and what we can expect in the days ahead.

    We start with breaking news at the border. Five hundred National Guard soldiers arrived in El Paso this weekend for increased security patrols along the Rio Grande. According to El Paso Border Patrol, some of these troops are already working on new infrastructure and others are receiving special training for detaining and arresting those crossing illegally. The deployment is expected to boost both border security and local job opportunities as support roles open up.

    Weather-wise, we're in for a classic Sun City day. Skies are mostly clear and the temperature is climbing into the upper eighties, with only a slight chance of showers late tonight. This makes for a perfect evening to catch one of the many events happening across El Paso, but do keep an eye on changing weather if you're headed to outdoor festivities.

    Traffic is moving normally through most of town this morning, but we did have an early-morning crash on Gateway South at Loop 375, so expect some delays near the Transmountain entrance ramp until midday while crews clear debris. For the rest of the week, the Texas Department of Transportation reminds us of ongoing work on I-10 Widening West between Vinton and Redd. That project runs each day from nine to four and could cause slowdowns—plan accordingly, especially during workday commutes.

    Turning to City Hall, we're watching as officials continue to delay the public release of police lawsuit records, even after the Texas attorney general ruled they must be shared. This issue is generating plenty of conversation about transparency and trust in local government.

    On the education front, UTEP has hit a record enrollment of around twenty-six thousand students this semester, a hopeful sign for our city’s future workforce. In local schools, Tornillo Independent School District will soon implement the Texas Bluebonnet curriculum, sparking both support and mixed reactions from parents and teachers.

    Real estate stays hot in the Borderland, with Texas’ updated homestead exemption bringing some property tax relief for homeowners. However, with rising valuations, many are still seeing bills go up. If you’re looking for work, the city is offering incentives for new businesses in tech and logistics, tied to the upcoming $165 billion data center near Sunland Park. This is expected to create hundreds of jobs over the next two years.

    Culturally, Hispanic Heritage Month celebrations are in full swing, from vibrant kermeses at Cleveland Square to a dramatic art exhibition downtown highlighting migration stories and traditions from the Chihuahua region. Local music lovers can catch performances at the Plaza Theatre, and the Old West comes alive at San Jacinto Plaza with the Six Guns and Shady Ladies reenactment troupe.

    In sports, El Dorado High School’s Ryan Estrada wowed the crowd Thursday night with a standout performance that clinched a victory over Montwood. Meanwhile, UTEP’s Miners volleyball team is gearing up for a match against UCLA in the Sun City Classic.

    There’s plenty to look forward to this week, including the Lincoln Park Day festival, the Modesto Gomez Park sports field opening, and a car wash fundraiser for the Boys and Girls Club in Las Cruces.

    On the crime front, a couple is suspected of stealing over four thousand dollars in cosmetics from an Ulta store in East El Paso just yesterday. El Paso Police and Crime Stoppers are asking for any information that could lead to their arrest. And, in a more somber note, we remember the TSA agent killed in a hit-and-run on Loop 375 last weekend. Family, friends, and colleagues say he was known for his quiet kindness and his dedication to keeping travelers safe.

    And finally, on a brighter note, El Paso celebrated the return of Army Specialist Mark Chandler, who reunited with his family just in time to welcome newborn twins—a true reminder of the strength and love that unite our community.
