We’ll start with public safety. Asheville Police are investigating a deadly shooting on Amboy Road after a caller reported they had shot someone; officers found the victim deceased in a Dodge Ram, and a suspect is now in custody as detectives continue the homicide investigation. In Buncombe County, deputies have also arrested a suspect in a late-night stabbing near the Madison County line that left one man dead and another seriously injured, and they emphasize this appears to be an isolated incident. At the Buncombe County Detention Center, questions continue after a string of recent custody issues; the sheriff’s office now says a detainee thought to be mistakenly released was actually not released in error, and at least one employee has been fired as internal reviews continue.
Cold weather is settling in, and Buncombe County has activated Code Purple, opening extra overnight shelter capacity when temperatures drop to freezing or just above. That means additional beds at partner shelters, relaxed check-in rules, and support to keep unsheltered neighbors safe from the cold. If you see someone outside overnight, this is a good time to connect them with local outreach groups.
On the community front, food assistance is in the news as new federal work rules tied to SNAP benefits roll out. Local advocates warn that, even as some pandemic-era flexibilities expire, stricter work requirements could make it harder for some low-income adults to keep food on the table in the years ahead, and they are encouraging residents to stay informed about their eligibility and appeal options.
Now, for the fun stuff. If you are looking for art time today, the River Arts District is hosting a Marvelous Monday open studio at 310 ART, giving folks a chance to drop in, create, and get guidance from an instructor. Over at New Belgium’s Asheville brewery, the Blue Cardinal food truck is serving up burgers and seasonal specials, making the riverfront a solid lunch or happy-hour stop.
Tonight, downtown gets loud at The Orange Peel, where Portugal. The Man hits the stage with support from La Luz, with doors at seven and the show at eight for an eighteen-and-up crowd. And as you look ahead to the rest of the week, area farmers markets are still offering cool-season local produce, meats, baked goods, and crafts, perfect for winter cooking and early holiday shopping.
