  • Summary

  • Good morning, this is Minneapolis Local Pulse for Saturday, December 7, 2024.

    We're starting with some breaking news from the past few days. A man in his 20s was shot and carjacked in south Minneapolis on Thursday night. The incident happened in an alley in the 3900 block of 11th Avenue South around 11:30 p.m. Police are still searching for multiple suspects who fled the scene in the victim's car and possibly another vehicle. The victim's injuries are described as potentially life-threatening.

    In other news, investigators are trying to piece together the events surrounding the targeted shooting of UnitedHealthcare CEO earlier this week. Police are looking for a man wanted for questioning in connection with the incident.

    Moving on to the job market, the latest data shows a cautious but slowly improving labor market in Minneapolis. The unemployment rate in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area remains low, with most sectors holding steady compared to previous months. While significant growth hasn't materialized yet, key industries like healthcare and technology continue to expand.

    In real estate news, we don't have any major updates on notable property sales or new development projects today. However, it's worth noting that the median home prices and inventory levels have been stable in recent weeks.

    From city hall, there's been a focus on addressing homelessness in the city. Local physicians, surgeons, and lawyers gathered at the Catholic Charities St. Paul Opportunity Center to support people experiencing homelessness.

    Weather-wise, it's going to be a chilly day today with temperatures in the mid-30s. We're expecting partly cloudy skies with a slight chance of snow flurries later in the day.

    In business news, the Minnesota-born Mexican restaurant chain Chi-Chi's is making a comeback 20 years after ending its operations. The chain is expected to open new locations in the Twin Cities area.

    Looking ahead to community events, fans of Timothée Chalamet gathered in Minneapolis on Thursday night to discuss his new Bob Dylan biopic. The event was held at a local theater and drew a large crowd.

    In local school achievements, a Twin Cities high school hockey team hit the ice for the first time on Friday night since losing a teammate to a long battle with cancer.

    Unfortunately, we have to report on some crime incidents from the past 24 hours. A man was shot during a possible drug deal in Minneapolis' Dinkytown neighborhood on Thursday morning. Police are still investigating the incident.

    On a more positive note, a group of young adults is working to raise awareness about homelessness in the city. They're sharing their experiences and stories to help others understand what it's like to live in the heart of the city without a stable place to call home.

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