Good morning, this is Charlotte Local Pulse for Sunday, July 20th.
We begin our day with an update on recent public safety actions Uptown. Following a deadly shooting in the Central Division near the 300 block of North College Street, Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police have increased patrols throughout Uptown. Residents and late-night employees say they feel some relief seeing more officers along Tryon and in the Fourth Ward, especially heading into the busy summer event season. The department is also asking anyone who might know the identity of a non-verbal juvenile found this weekend to come forward, as community support is critical during these times.
Continuing with public safety, we had reports of a shooting in east Charlotte Friday night, sending one person to the hospital with serious injuries. Details are still coming in, but police are seeking any witnesses in the area around Albemarle Road. In another major story, a police pursuit that started near Davis Road in Cleveland County ended dramatically at the South Carolina state line on Dravo Road. Deputies arrested the suspect, Garry Tyrone Martin, who is now facing a series of charges. Inside the vehicle, one man was also arrested for drug possession. Tragically, a female passenger was pronounced dead at the scene. Authorities are continuing their investigation and urge anyone with information to contact them.
Turning to positive developments for our job market, Governor Josh Stein has announced that AssetMark and Citigroup will be bringing in over 760 new jobs to Charlotte. These opportunities are expected to reach a variety of skill levels and support continued economic momentum in Mecklenburg County.
On the real estate front, there’s steady activity with both commercial and residential listings seeing a slight uptick. Realtors say homes near the light rail and in NoDa continue to sell quickly, with median home prices hovering near four hundred and fifty thousand dollars.
Today’s weather will be mostly sunny, with temperatures reaching the upper eighties by midday. Expect a light breeze but keep an umbrella handy for a possible late afternoon thundershower. This warmer, humid spell should continue through the week.
We’re also welcoming new businesses, including a locally owned bakery opening on East Boulevard and a family-run coffee shop debuting this week on Central Avenue. On the flip side, longtime Plaza Midwood favorite, The Book Bar, is closing at summer’s end, so fans are stopping by for one last visit.
In local sports, the Charlotte Knights capped off a hard-fought series at Truist Field last night, and area youth soccer teams are celebrating big wins as summer tournaments wrap up. Hats off to our Future STEM Leaders from Myers Park High, who just returned with honors from a national robotics competition.
Before we go, a heartwarming story—a group of volunteers teamed up this weekend at Freedom Park to restore and repaint the playground, bringing smiles to local kids. It’s these small acts of kindness that remind us of what makes Charlotte such a special place to call home.
