  • Charlotte Local Pulse: Shooting, Zoning Changes, Job Market, and Community Initiatives

    Charlotte Local Pulse: Shooting, Zoning Changes, Job Market, and Community Initiatives
    May 6 2025
    Good morning, this is Charlotte Local Pulse for Tuesday, May 6th, 2025. We wake up to a mild and breezy start here in the Queen City, with temperatures hovering in the low sixties. We can expect partly cloudy skies through the morning, with a high in the upper seventies later this afternoon. Keep an umbrella handy just in case, as a pop-up shower could roll through near uptown in the late afternoon, but most outdoor plans should be safe.

    Turning to breaking news, Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police are investigating a deadly shooting on Archdale Drive near the Interstate 77 interchange in south Charlotte. It happened just after 4 p.m. yesterday at an apartment complex. One person lost their life, while another was rushed to Atrium Health with critical injuries. Officers are still piecing together the situation and searching for leads, so anyone with information is encouraged to come forward. This follows a busy weekend for first responders, including a serious accident on the I-485 Outer Loop Saturday night that left one person dead. Safety remains a top priority for our city, with more patrols visible across Mecklenburg County.

    From City Hall, council members are set to vote this week on changes to zoning rules that could impact homeowners from Dilworth to University City. The council is also discussing proposals for expanding greenway access, particularly along Sugar Creek, which could mean more parks and public spaces in the future.

    On the economic front, Charlotte’s job market remains steady. A handful of tech startups are hiring for new software and data analyst roles uptown. Meanwhile, several restaurants along South End’s Camden Road are preparing to open their doors by Memorial Day, offering fresh job opportunities. In real estate, median home prices in the county are just over four hundred thousand dollars, with inventory ticking slightly higher compared to last month—good news for buyers looking for options.

    Culturally, the city’s buzzing. Music fans can catch a free jazz concert at Romare Bearden Park this evening, and the Mint Museum is unveiling its new interactive art exhibit tomorrow. If you are looking for family fun, the Charlotte Science Festival wraps up this weekend at Discovery Place, featuring local school robotics teams and hands-on experiments led by CMS students.

    High school sports brought another reason to cheer last night as Myers Park took the regional soccer title, edging out Providence in overtime. The victory sends them to the state championship this weekend.

    For our feel-good story, volunteers from the Plaza Midwood neighborhood came together over the weekend to renovate the playground at Shamrock Park, installing new equipment and planting shade trees just in time for summer.

    That wraps it up for today. This has been Charlotte Local Pulse. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.

  • Saturday Local News: May Day Protest, Tributes, Home Explosion, Missing Teen, and More

    Saturday Local News: May Day Protest, Tributes, Home Explosion, Missing Teen, and More
    May 3 2025
    Good morning, this is Charlotte Local Pulse for Saturday, May 3, 2025.

    Charlotte is waking up to a day of community activism as a May Day protest is planned for today. Starting at 11 am at 4938 Central Ave, participants will march to Kilborne Park in an event expected to run until 1 pm. If you're traveling in that area, expect some traffic delays.

    The city is still reflecting on the one-year anniversary of the tragic loss of four law enforcement officers. Last weekend, the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department announced meaningful tributes to honor Officer Joshua Eyer, Deputy U.S. Marshal Thomas Weeks, and Department of Adult Correction Investigators William Elliott and Samuel Poloche, who lost their lives on April 29, 2024.

    In breaking news, a home explosion rocked south Charlotte yesterday morning in the 1600 block of Lombardy Circle near Myers Park Pediatric Hospital and Freedom Park. The blast completely destroyed the residence, and investigators are still working to determine the cause.

    Safety concerns continue at the Charlotte Transportation Center. The CATS Interim CEO recently addressed public worries following several deadly incidents at the transit hub. While thousands use the facility daily without issue, the recent events have prompted renewed attention to security measures.

    We're tracking the search for a missing teen in our area. Kaniyha Lane was last seen on May 1 near Marshall Park in Uptown, specifically around East Third Street and South McDowell Street. If you have any information on her whereabouts, please contact CMPD immediately.

    Weather-wise, we're looking at increasing chances for showers and storms throughout the day. The unsettled pattern is expected to continue into tonight and tomorrow, so keep that umbrella handy if you're heading to any outdoor events this weekend.

    In political developments, North Carolina's elections board has shifted to a Republican majority after the state auditor appointed a new panel. This comes after an appeals court ruled that a law transferring appointment power from the Democratic governor could remain in effect during ongoing legal challenges.

    On a brighter note, a Gardner-Webb University professor is representing North Carolina on the world stage. Steve Harmon, a professor of historical theology, is serving as a special correspondent in Rome as the process to select a successor to Pope Francis begins.

  • Deadly Crashes, Homicide Arrest, and Community Remembrance in Charlotte

    Deadly Crashes, Homicide Arrest, and Community Remembrance in Charlotte
    May 2 2025
    Good morning, this is Charlotte Local Pulse for Friday, May 2, 2025.

    Tragedy struck yesterday evening on Beatties Ford Road near Northwest School of the Arts when a deadly crash occurred around 6 PM. Police are still investigating the circumstances surrounding this incident that has left the community shaken.

    We're also following a homicide case where CMPD has made an arrest. William Thomas has been taken into custody in connection with the stabbing death of Stanley Williams. The arrest was announced yesterday afternoon as detectives wrapped up their investigation.

    In west Charlotte, another fatal crash has occurred with multiple injuries reported. CMPD described it as a "traumatic experience" for all involved and continues to investigate the circumstances.

    On a somber note, the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department paid tribute last week to fallen heroes who lost their lives exactly one year ago. Officer Joshua Eyer, Deputy U.S. Marshal Thomas Weeks, and N.C. Department of Adult Correction Investigators William Elliott and Samuel Poloche were honored in a series of memorial events. Their sacrifice continues to resonate throughout our community.

    Looking ahead, eastside residents should mark their calendars for May 17th. The Intergovernmental Eastside Summit and Mobile Resource Fair will take place at the BOplex from 9 AM to 1 PM. The summit will focus on education, affordable housing, supporting services, and transit. Construction on the new 4.5-acre Eastland Park is expected to begin this summer on the former Eastland Mall site.

    The mobile resource fair will feature Charlotte Mecklenburg Library's Mobile Internet Lab, CMS's Gus the Bus, MeckDental Mobile Unit, and Atrium Health's Mobile Medical Unit. Registration is recommended for the summit portion, though not required for the resource fair.

    Today's weather calls for partly sunny skies with temperatures reaching the mid-70s, perfect for enjoying outdoor activities throughout the Queen City. Expect light breezes and comfortable conditions for any Friday evening plans.

    In local business news, the Charlotte tech scene continues to boom with several companies announcing expansions across the region. This growth represents new job opportunities for skilled workers in our area.

    With the weekend approaching, remember to support our local businesses and explore all that Charlotte has to offer, from neighborhood festivals to dining experiences that showcase our city's diverse culinary landscape.

    This has been Charlotte Local Pulse. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
