Good morning, this is Charlotte Local Pulse for Friday, April 11, 2025.
We begin today with breaking news. Police responded to a shooting late this morning on the 5500 block of Laborde Avenue in north Charlotte. One person is seriously injured, and investigators are piecing together what happened. No suspects have been named yet, but we’ll bring updates as they’re available.
In other news, the Cornelius Police Department marked Madalina Cojocari’s 14th birthday today by releasing an updated age-progression image of the girl, still missing since 2022. The family and authorities urge anyone with information to come forward.
Our weather is warming up! Expect sunny skies and a high near 78 degrees today, with a pleasant evening dip into the 60s. It’s perfect weather for tonight’s Panthers Draft Party at Bank of America Stadium. Gates open at 6 PM, so grab your family, jerseys, and good vibes for this free event.
On the cultural front, Charlotte’s music scene stays lively with the Jazz Brunch series returning to Romare Bearden Park tomorrow from 11 AM to 1 PM. Local artists will serenade attendees with mellow tunes, and food trucks will be serving up tasty dishes.
For jobs and city growth, there’s good news for career seekers. Local companies report hiring increases this month, particularly in tech and manufacturing. Meanwhile, Charlotte Gateway Station, a long-awaited transit hub in Uptown, is finally making significant progress, with completion expected later this year. The station promises to transform how we navigate the city.
In real estate, the market remains competitive but stable, with average home prices hovering around $430,000 in the metro area. One eye-catching addition is a 200-unit apartment complex opening soon near South End, designed to cater to young professionals with amenities like coworking spaces and rooftop pools.
Turning to public safety, we commend CMPD’s efforts today at a Career Day event where officers visited local schools to discuss their work and inspire students. Tomorrow, Animal Care & Control hosts a free rabies vaccination clinic at their drive-thru location on Beam Road. It’s a great opportunity to take care of your furry friends.
For community highlights, shoutout to Mallard Creek High School’s robotics team for clinching the state championship last weekend. Their innovative project earned high praise and illustrates the incredible talent we have in local schools.
Let’s close with a feel-good story: Ms. Tiesha Boyd continues her weekly youth fitness program with CMPD officers every Wednesday evening. This initiative not only teaches life skills but builds strong bonds with our community.
