Good morning, this is Albuquerque Local Pulse for Thursday, May 29, 2025.
We're following a developing story from yesterday where a shooting occurred at Shop at Nob Hill shopping center on 5200 Lomas Blvd. NE. Police responded to the scene shortly before 3:15 PM near the Sprouts location. At least one person was reportedly shot and killed, and we'll bring you more details as they become available.
In law enforcement news, the Albuquerque Police Department has been making significant progress in their Southeast Operation, targeting top drivers of crime in the area. During the fifth week of this initiative, officers made 25 felony arrests and recovered 3 firearms. This ongoing effort is part of APD's strategy to reduce crime in key areas of Southeast Albuquerque.
At City Hall, the council met earlier this month on May 19th, addressing several important issues for our community. Council members approved a pilot program to provide gas cards for police vehicles in the northwest and southwest area commands, which aims to improve operational efficiency and reduce response times. They also discussed amendments to the 2025 action plan to provide funding for a senior stability cottage development in District 6.
The Landmarks Commission recently approved Design Standards and Guidelines for the Historic Fairview Cemetery on Yale Street SE. This follows the property's designation as a City Landmark by City Council last October. The guidelines aim to preserve significant features including grave markers and monuments at this important cultural site.
In legal proceedings, the Bernalillo County District Attorney's Office began jury selection yesterday for the trial of Michael Joseph Thompson, which is taking place in Courtroom 606. The trial formally began at 8:30 AM.
For those interested in cultural developments, there's been ongoing discussion about a proposed gross receipts tax to fund quality of life projects, including a new performing arts center for the city. Supporters note that Albuquerque hasn't built a new performing arts venue in nearly 60 years, and current facilities like Popejoy Hall are struggling to meet growing community demand.
Looking ahead to community events, check the city's website for updated information on weekend activities around town. With temperatures expected to be seasonable for late May, it's a perfect opportunity to get out and enjoy what our city has to offer.
