Good morning, this is Charlotte Local Pulse for Saturday, January 4, 2025.
We start with breaking news from the past few days. The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department is investigating a homicide in the University City Division. Detectives are working on a case in the 8200 block of Dave McKinney Avenue, and we'll provide updates as more information becomes available[3]. Additionally, there was a fatal crash involving a vehicle and a CATS bus on Central Avenue near Reddman Road. The incident resulted in the death of one passenger, and the investigation is ongoing[4].
Moving on to today's job market snapshot, Charlotte continues to thrive with over 30,000 tech job openings in 2025. Coding bootcamps like Tech Elevator and UNC Charlotte's Coding Boot Camp are offering intensive programs with job guarantees, helping graduates secure positions with salaries upwards of $80,000[2]. Major employers like Bank of America and Wells Fargo are also hiring, with part-time job fairs and remote customer service positions available[5].
In real estate news, we don't have any significant updates on commercial or residential property sales, but the city's booming tech scene is driving growth in areas like the Pearl Innovation District.
From city hall, there are no major decisions affecting daily life to report today. However, the city's financial sector is driving serious tech growth, with major players like Bank of America and Wells Fargo constantly hunting for tech talent[2].
Weather-wise, it's a chilly Saturday morning, but it's perfect for outdoor activities like the Outdoor College Hockey game at Truist Field, where Virginia Tech will face off against North Carolina. The Crowders Chutes Winter Tubing event is also happening tonight from 6:00 pm to 9:00 pm in Gastonia[1].
In new business activity, we have several events and openings to look forward to. The Mint Hill Car Show is scheduled for tomorrow, and the Yellow Brick Joel Elton John: Billy Joel Face to Face: The Tribute Concert is happening tonight at the Bechtler Museum of Modern Art[1].
Upcoming community events include the Three Kings Day – Dia De Reyes 2025 celebration at the Second Ward Gymnasium and The True Story Of The Three Little Pigs at the Children's Theatre of Charlotte[1].
In local school achievements, we don't have any specific updates today, but we're always proud of our local students and athletes.
On a feel-good note, the city's vibrant cultural scene is always worth highlighting, with events like the Cirque du Soleil – Twas The Night Before show at Ovens Auditorium[1].
In today's crime report, we want to remind everyone to stay safe and vigilant. The CMPD is working hard to keep our communities secure, and we appreciate their efforts.
This has been Charlotte Local Pulse. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
