Good morning, this is Fort Worth Local Pulse for Tuesday, June 17. We begin today with breaking news from City Hall. Councilmember-elect Mia Hall is taking her oath of office today, marking a new chapter for the city council and bringing fresh energy to the leadership team. The council is also addressing infrastructure, with a major water main replacement project kicking off this week in several neighborhoods to boost water service reliability. Residents near downtown and along Lancaster Avenue might notice crews working over the next few days, so keep an eye out for detours or temporary water shut-offs.

Turning to public safety, this past Sunday, Father’s Day, saw a series of unrelated shootings across Fort Worth. The most serious took place at a house party on Houston Street, where a shooting left one person dead and two injured after an argument escalated. Other incidents were reported near Carolina Drive and Risinger Road as well. Police are investigating all cases, with the gang unit involved in Sunday’s events and no arrests announced yet, so please stay alert and report any suspicious activity to local authorities.

On a lighter note, the weather today looks pleasant and summery, with a high expected in the mid-90s and light winds. No severe weather in the forecast, so it is a great day for outdoor plans. If you are heading out, maybe swing by Oakmont Park tomorrow evening for the grand reopening of the playground, where Councilmember Michael Crain will be hosting a ribbon-cutting at 5:30, complete with popsicles for kids and families.

In business updates, Fort Worth continues to see steady job growth, especially in logistics and construction, spurred on by large-scale infrastructure projects. The reentry job and resource fair earlier this month connected hundreds in Tarrant County with new employment opportunities, showing ongoing efforts to strengthen our local workforce. In real estate, the market remains competitive with steady home sales and median listing prices hovering just over three hundred thousand dollars. First-time buyers are receiving more guidance from local realtors as inventory inches upward.

For art and culture, we are gearing up for Juneteenth celebrations tomorrow across the city, with community events teaching the history of emancipation and activities like Juneteenth flag making. This Saturday, the FWPD Safety Fair at 5565 Truman Drive will offer family activities and a chance to meet adoptable dogs from Fort Worth Animal Care and Control—perfect if you are looking to bring home a furry friend.

In sports, local high schools wrapped up spring seasons with several teams reaching district finals, and there is plenty of soccer and summer league baseball action at Gateway Park this week. And here’s a feel-good story to take with you: a group of Northside High students just won a statewide STEM competition for their innovative disaster relief drone, earning special recognition at last night’s school board meeting.

This has been Fort Worth Local Pulse. We’ll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
