  • Summary

  • Good morning, this is El Paso Local Pulse for January 3, 2025.

    We're starting off the year with some breaking news. Early on New Year's Day, a shooting at Shorty's Sports Bar & Grill near the El Paso Community College Viscount campus left two people seriously injured. The El Paso Fire Department rushed them to the hospital around 12:45 a.m. This incident is still under investigation, and we'll keep you updated as more information becomes available[1].

    Moving on to our job market snapshot, the latest data from the United States Federal Reserve shows that the unemployment rate in El Paso, TX (MSA) was 5.40% in January 2022. While we don't have the most current figures, historically, the unemployment rate in El Paso has fluctuated, reaching a record high of 14.30% in April 2020 and a record low of 3.30% in April 2019[2].

    In city hall news, 2024 is expected to bring significant changes, including elections that will alter the makeup of the City Council in January and again in 2025. Key decisions from 2023, such as the hiring of a new police chief and the ongoing migrant crisis, will continue to impact the community. The city will also need to address Senate Bill 4, which makes it a state crime to cross illegally into Texas from Mexico, and its implications for local law enforcement[3].

    On the real estate front, we don't have any major updates today, but we'll keep an eye on any notable commercial or residential property sales and new development projects.

    Weather-wise, it's looking like a pleasant day ahead with temperatures expected to reach the mid-60s. Perfect weather for outdoor activities and events.

    In new business activity, we don't have any major openings or closings to report today, but we'll keep you informed about any significant changes in the local business scene.

    Looking ahead to community events, the recent Sun Bowl game brought excitement to the city, with teams welcomed by mariachi and dancers before the New Year's Eve game[4].

    In local school achievements, we don't have any specific updates today, but we'll highlight any notable achievements or sports results in future broadcasts.

    On a positive note, the El Paso Border Patrol recently captured a fugitive wanted for a hit-and-run in Dallas, demonstrating the ongoing efforts to keep our community safe[5].

    In today's crime report, aside from the New Year's Day shooting, we also want to remind everyone about the importance of public safety. The El Paso Police Department is always working to ensure our safety, and we appreciate their dedication.

    This has been El Paso Local Pulse. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
