Good morning, this is Indianapolis Local Pulse for Sunday, August 31, 2025. We’re starting off with breaking news from downtown last night. A person is in critical condition after a shooting near the 900 block of Fort Wayne Avenue. Indianapolis police responded quickly, and while details are still coming in, the victim was rushed to a nearby hospital. Authorities are continuing their investigation, and we’ll share more as soon as updates are available.
It’s been a busy weekend on the Monon Trail as well, but this time with positive news. After a string of attempted assaults earlier this month, police arrested a 27-year-old man tied to two incidents along the trail. Investigators connected the cases after talking to witnesses and the victims, and forensic evidence helped seal the arrest. This should bring some relief to everyone who enjoys the Monon, especially as we move into the holiday weekend.
On a brighter note, as we look at today’s weather, we have mostly sunny skies ahead with temperatures expected to top out in the upper 80s. Humidity is on the rise, so if you’re heading out to the Indiana State Fairgrounds or planning any outdoor grilling, make sure to stay hydrated and take some shade breaks. The next few days look similar, with pop-up storms possible by Tuesday.
Turning to local government, City Hall remains focused on public safety and neighborhood improvements. Discussions this week are centering on budgets for street repairs, with special attention on school zones near North Keystone Avenue and West 38th Street. The city is also working to roll out new public transit schedules ahead of the fall semester for area colleges, including IUPUI.
In real estate, homes continue flying off the market, but we are seeing a slight cool down as inventory picks up. The median home price in Marion County is currently holding just under 290 thousand dollars. Job openings remain steady, especially in hospitality and logistics with new warehouses opening along Shadeland Avenue and over on the west side.
In culture and music, this weekend marks the finale of downtown’s IndyFringe Festival. Artists from all around are putting on some unforgettable performances along Massachusetts Avenue. If you love live music, the Jazz Kitchen on College Avenue features a tribute to Hoosier jazz legends tonight. And food lovers should check out the Garfield Park Farmers Market, bustling every Saturday morning.
School sports are back in full swing. Lawrence Central’s football team rebounded spectacularly last night after a tough loss last week, and North Central closed out their game with a thrilling finish. Several IPS schools are also celebrating rising graduation rates, a positive sign for our city’s future.
Finally, a feel-good story for this Sunday—a pair of women who became friends in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina have now dedicated their lives to community service right here in Indianapolis. Twenty years after fleeing the storm, they say Indiana gave them a second chance, and now they’re giving back, helping local families rebuild.
