Good morning, this is Indianapolis Local Pulse for Sunday, September 7, 2025. We hope you’re having a great start to your weekend. Let’s dive into what’s happening across our city right now.

We begin on Indy’s east side, where late last night, police responded to a fatal shooting near Delmont Drive, close to 42nd and Mithofer. Officers arrived just before 11 p.m. The victim died at the scene, and authorities are still investigating with updates expected throughout the day. Community members are urged to stay vigilant and contact law enforcement if they have any information.

In statewide news, Governor Mike Braun announced a new Secretary of Public Safety for Indiana. State police superintendent Anthony Scott steps into the role and will continue leading the police force. The governor also hinted at more personnel changes coming soon to the Department of Public Safety, so we’ll be watching for further developments.

Let’s talk weather. We’re waking up to clear, sunny skies and a beautiful stretch ahead. Expect a high near 72 degrees today and sunshine lasting into the early evening, with just a light breeze drifting in from the northwest. Humidity stays comfortable, so it’s a perfect day for outdoor plans, whether you’re hitting up one of our parks or heading downtown for brunch.

Shifting to the job market, local hiring is steady with nearly 700 new jobs posted last week on major boards, including administrative and skilled trades positions. For listeners interested in real estate, Indianapolis home prices are holding steady. The median listing price in Marion County remains just above 270 thousand dollars, and open houses are popping up in neighborhoods like Fountain Square and Broad Ripple all weekend.

Over at city hall, a group of cancer research advocates gathered on the Statehouse steps last night, staging a Lights of Hope event to push back against proposed funding cuts. Their message is to keep the spotlight on Hoosier families affected by cancer, and we’re seeing strong support from residents across central Indiana.

For feel-good news, we turn to the east side, where volunteers from Irvington have rallied to clean up Ellenberger Park this weekend. Neighbors hauled away dozens of bags of trash and spruced up the walking trails, making the space more welcoming for everyone.

On the business front, excitement is buzzing as TED Sports opens its doors downtown today, offering new programs for youth athletics. Meanwhile, the Fever basketball team broke ground on a seventy-eight million dollar, state-of-the-art facility near the IUPUI campus. Both projects are set to strengthen our community’s ties to sports and education.

Let’s check in on schools. High school football teams kicked off their seasons with spirited matches Friday night. In college action, Indiana University absolutely dominated Kennesaw State yesterday, winning 56 to 9 and putting the Hoosiers at 2 and 0 for the season.

Looking ahead, the Indianapolis Colts open their season at Lucas Oil Stadium this afternoon against the Miami Dolphins at 1 p.m. Many fans are gearing up for tailgating, so expect extra traffic on South Street and nearby lots starting late morning. Downtown businesses are rolling out game-day specials, making it a great time to support local shops.

That wraps up our roundup for today. Thanks for tuning in and remember to subscribe so you never miss an edition of Local Pulse. This has been Indianapolis Local Pulse. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates. This has been a Quiet Please production, for more check out quiet please dot ai.
