Good morning, this is Albuquerque Local Pulse for Friday, May 16th, 2025.
We're tracking a shooting investigation that occurred yesterday afternoon at City View Apartments on Crest Avenue Southeast. Around 4:30 PM, a man with a gunshot wound to the stomach was dropped off at Presbyterian Downtown Hospital and later transferred to UNMH for trauma care. The victim has been uncooperative with police, and the Gun Violence Reduction Unit is now handling the case.
In city news, the Albuquerque Police Department has filed a joint motion with the Department of Justice to end federal oversight, a significant development for our local law enforcement.
A legendary Albuquerque business is changing hands after nearly eight decades. The Man's Hat Shop on Route 66 is listed for sale at $400,000 as owner Stuart Dunlap plans to retire. The iconic shop currently generates over $700,000 in annual revenue and represents a piece of our city's history along the famous highway.
Albuquerque Fire Rescue has been busy this week, responding to multiple serious fires. They contained a blaze at an abandoned commercial building on 6th Street early Wednesday, and a two-alarm fire erupted in the industrial area near 709 Nikanda NE in the North Valley.
Looking at today's weather, we're in for a beautiful sunny day with clear skies. Temperatures will reach around 81 degrees during the day, dropping to 52 degrees tonight with zero chance of precipitation. The UV index is very high at 11, so remember to wear sunscreen if you're heading outdoors.
For weekend plans, mark your calendars for the 2025 New Mexico Wine Festival happening next weekend, May 24th through 26th, at Balloon Fiesta Park. The event runs from noon to 6 PM each day and will be a perfect Memorial Day weekend activity.
In local sports, the Isotopes had to call their game in the 6th inning recently due to poor air quality, and the Lobo men's basketball team has gained a new combo guard to strengthen their roster.
Tragically, we've learned that a pedestrian struck in a crosswalk accident on May 11th in Northeast Albuquerque has died from critical injuries. The second pedestrian involved sustained serious but non-life-threatening injuries.
On a positive note, the U.S. Marshals Service is requesting the public's help in locating a wanted individual, showing our community's ongoing partnership with law enforcement to maintain public safety.
This has been Albuquerque Local Pulse. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
