  • Résumé

  • Good morning, this is Indianapolis Local Pulse for Thursday, May 1, 2025.

    Tragedy struck overnight in south Indianapolis as police report one person dead following a shooting around 12:30 a.m. today in the 8000 block of Madison Avenue. IMPD is investigating the circumstances surrounding this incident. Meanwhile, officers are also looking into possible human remains discovered on the city's east side yesterday.

    At City Hall, conversations continue about the $1.6 billion budget approved last fall. While the budget increased funding for public safety and infrastructure, some councilors remain concerned about insufficient allocations for early childhood education, climate initiatives, and childcare. Speaking of children, a Central Indiana county is working to address the growing childcare shortage in our region.

    We're tracking spotty storms for later today with the potential for some to be strong to severe in certain areas. May is traditionally our second wettest month of the year with nearly 5 inches of rainfall on average. Today's sunrise was at 6:44 a.m., and we'll soon be approaching 9 p.m. sunsets by May 24th. With all this extra daylight, our temperatures will be warming up - we're expecting highs in the upper 60s today before climbing into the 70s for most of the month.

    Transportation news now - IndyGo has announced plans to install cameras at bus stops and nearby intersections to enhance safety for passengers. This is part of ongoing efforts to improve public transit across the city.

    In Brownsburg, residents are voicing concerns over a potential rezoning that could impact a local animal sanctuary. The community meeting held yesterday drew dozens of concerned citizens eager to protect this beloved space.

    Sports enthusiasts should mark their calendars - Indianapolis is gearing up to host the WNBA All-Star Game this July, further cementing our reputation as a premier sports city. WWE's Royal Rumble took place here earlier this year, bringing thousands of wrestling fans to downtown.

    In the courts, justice was served as a man was found guilty after attacking another individual with a 2x4 in Fountain Square last year. The case had drawn significant attention from neighborhood residents.

    Governor Mike Braun continues to make his mark on state politics after taking office earlier this year, having signed more than 100 bills into law already. Among the most controversial is legislation prohibiting college students from using student IDs to vote.

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