Good morning, this is Albuquerque Local Pulse for Tuesday, April 22, 2025.
We wake up today amid some important developments across our city. In breaking news, Albuquerque police are investigating a late-night homicide and a series of shootings, including one near Claremont Avenue Northeast with a victim currently recovering in the hospital. In southeast Albuquerque, another person was hospitalized after a shooting on Valencia Drive, and authorities continue their investigation. There is also news from earlier this month, as police have charged a suspect in the fatal shooting of an innocent bystander near a smoke shop, bringing some closure to a tragic case for the victim’s family.
Turning to courts and public safety, a teen convicted in the deliberate car crash that killed a Sandia Labs scientist was sentenced to the maximum penalty allowed by New Mexico law, giving at least some measure of accountability to the community.
From City Hall, the Governor’s recent line-item veto decisions are making waves this session, with 18 bills struck down and priorities questioned by lawmakers. Locally, the City Council has agreed to use cannabis tax revenue for a basic income pilot program, setting the stage for what could become a significant shift in social assistance for Albuquerque families.
It’s a crisp and sunny day here in the metro, with clear skies and temperatures expected to reach the mid-70s. That means it’s perfect weather for getting outside, whether you’re heading to work, school, or one of Albuquerque’s many community events this week.
Speaking of events, Albuquerque is alive with cultural happenings. Tonight, El Rey Theater hosts “Chaos and Carnage,” a highlight for fans of hard rock and metal. Festival Flamenco is just around the corner, promising world-class performances and workshops—something we look forward to every year. If you’re a music lover, the Launchpad is hosting a special all-ages show tomorrow night downtown. And for those wanting to support local sports, the Isotopes are inviting fans for a special event this holiday weekend.
In business news, Albuquerque’s tech sector is booming. There are now over 350 startups in the city—a twenty percent jump since 2023—and investments from Intel and Maxeon Solar Technologies will bring over 2,000 new jobs in the coming months. It’s a great time to be job hunting in tech, with the city’s innovation initiatives leading the way.
On the real estate front, Rio Rancho is seeing growth with new grocery options opening soon, helping ease shopping for families in that area.
Let’s tip our hats to our local students as well. Sports teams across several Albuquerque schools have clinched key victories this past week, and our women’s tackle football team is calling on the community for support as they prepare for a big home match.
We end today with a feel-good story. Local composting company Little Green Bucket is seeking community help to expand its operations, working to turn more food waste into productive soil and build a greener Albuquerque for us all.
That’s your Albuquerque Local Pulse for today. We’ll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
