Good morning, this is Charlotte Local Pulse for Sunday, January 5, 2025. We're starting the week with a look at the latest developments in our city.
First off, let's talk about the recent officer-involved shooting investigation. The North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation is leading the probe into an incident that occurred on December 28 outside Coyote Joe's on Wilkinson Boulevard. An officer discharged their firearm, striking a male subject who was pronounced deceased at the scene. The investigation is ongoing, and anyone with information is asked to call 704-432-TIPS[1].
Moving on to the job market, we see a mix of new opportunities and hiring announcements. Indeed.com lists over 600 job openings in Charlotte, including positions at top employers like Bank of America and Wells Fargo. Notably, Renewal by Andersen is hiring sales professionals with paid training and benefits included. The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department is also seeking a Public Information Specialist for social media[2].
In real estate news, while we don't have specific updates on notable property sales or new development projects today, it's worth noting that the labor force in Charlotte has seen a slight decrease of 0.06% from last month but an overall increase of 0.83% from one year ago, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics[5].
From city hall, there are no major updates affecting daily life to report today. However, we encourage residents to stay informed about ongoing investigations and public safety alerts.
Weather-wise, it's a chilly start to the week, but we're expecting clear skies today, making it a great day to get out and enjoy some of the events happening around the city.
Speaking of events, this weekend has been packed with activities. Yesterday, the Virginia Tech vs North Carolina outdoor college hockey game took place at Truist Field, and the Yellow Brick Joel Elton John tribute concert was held at the Bechtler Museum of Modern Art. Today, you can catch the Mint Hill Car Show at Chick-fil-A on Matthews Mint Hill Road[1].
In local school achievements, we don't have specific updates today, but we're always proud to highlight the accomplishments of our students and athletes.
For a feel-good community story, let's mention the Three Kings Day – Dia De Reyes 2025 celebration that took place yesterday at the Second Ward Gymnasium. It's events like these that bring our community together and celebrate our diverse heritage.
In crime news, the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department is investigating a homicide in the University City Division. Detectives are conducting an investigation in the 8200 block of Dave McKinney Avenue, and anyone with information is encouraged to come forward[4].
That wraps up today's local news roundup. This has been Charlotte Local Pulse. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
