  • Résumé

  • 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.
