Good morning, this is Albuquerque Local Pulse for Sunday, January 5, 2025.
We start with breaking news from the past few days. The Albuquerque Police Department has been busy with several significant arrests. Just recently, APD detectives arrested Jonathan Morales at the same Central Avenue motel where he is accused of murdering Adan Valenzuela-Morales last month. Additionally, the department apprehended Kalani Hodges, a fugitive wanted since 2022, in collaboration with the U.S. Marshal Service. These arrests are part of ongoing efforts to tackle crime in key areas of the city.
Moving on to the job market, we have some updates. The Albuquerque International Sunport is currently hiring for various positions, including a Buyer, Construction Worker II, and Equipment Operator II, with salaries ranging from approximately $40,000 to $51,000 annually. The latest Labor Market Review from September 2024 shows that the Albuquerque MSA grew by 8,600 jobs in total nonfarm employment, representing a 2.1% gain. The private sector added 7,500 jobs, or 2.2%, while the public sector added 1,100 jobs, or 1.3%.
In real estate news, there haven't been any major announcements recently, but we'll keep an eye on any significant developments. The next City Council meeting is scheduled for January 6, 2025, at 5:00 PM in the Vincent E. Griego Chambers, where several important decisions will be made, including discussions on the Downtown Vacant Premises Ordinance and adjustments to fiscal year 2025 operating and grant appropriations.
Weather-wise, we're expecting a relatively calm day today, but we'll keep you updated on any changes that might affect your plans.
In new business activity, we don't have any major openings or closings to report, but we'll be watching for any significant changes in the local business landscape.
Upcoming community events include the City Council meeting on January 6, and we encourage everyone to participate in public comments either in person or virtually.
In local school achievements, we don't have any specific updates today, but we'll be back with more news on local schools and sports results soon.
For a feel-good community story, we want to highlight the APD's partnership with Animal Welfare to highlight adoptable pets this holiday season, a wonderful initiative to find homes for pets in need.
In today's crime report, we focus on significant incidents from the past 24 hours. A serious injury crash was reported at Holly Ave NE and San Pedro Dr NE on January 2, 2025, and APD arrested a suspect near Betts Pl and Betts St NE. The department also arrested a man who broke into an Old Town business earlier this month, stealing thousands of dollars’ worth of merchandise.
This has been Albuquerque Local Pulse. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
