Asheville Local Frequency - March 8th: Community Seeks Justice While Spring Celebrations Continue
Good morning, this is your Asheville Local Frequency for Sunday, March 8th, 2026.
We're starting this morning with a somber reminder of the violence that touched our community this weekend. The Asheville Police Department is investigating the city's first homicide of 2026, which occurred early Saturday morning near Granada Street. Twenty-seven-year-old Eric Lee Anderson Lordman Jr. was found with multiple gunshot wounds around 12:20 a.m. Captain Joe Silberman emphasized that while the loss is devastating, police believe the victim was targeted and there is no ongoing threat to the public. Detectives have discovered critical evidence including the suspect's vehicle and are following leads. If you have any information about the shooting, you're encouraged to contact APD at 828-252-1110 or text TIP2APD to 847411 for anonymous tips.
On a brighter note, there's plenty happening around Asheville this season. The North Carolina Arboretum is hosting an extraordinary exhibition called Trolls: A Field Study, featuring twelve interactive troll sculptures standing seven to nine feet tall. These whimsical creations, crafted from fallen branches and wooden pallets by Danish artist Thomas Dambo, are here on their first North American tour. Visitors of all ages can explore these curious characters as they observe human nature. The best part? It only costs the parking fee to visit.
Speaking of local happenings, Grovewood Gallery continues to showcase remarkable craftsmanship with exhibitions celebrating the American Arts and Crafts movement. Featured artists include ceramicist Leslie Green Guilbault, blacksmith Paul Garrett, furniture maker Timothy Livingston, and painter Shawn Krueger. These pieces blend traditional techniques with fresh perspectives on timeless design.
Looking at local sports, UNC Asheville's men's basketball team made a strong tournament run this weekend. The Bulldogs faced off against top-seeded High Point in the Big South Championship semifinals on Saturday afternoon, coming up just short with a 75-71 loss in Johnson City. Meanwhile, UNC Asheville's baseball team had a more successful Saturday, sweeping a doubleheader against Alabama A&M with victories of 6-1 and 11-7.
As we head into the week, our community continues to balance the everyday rhythm of spring with the serious work of seeking justice for those affected by weekend's tragedy. Whether you're exploring outdoor installations, catching sports action, or simply enjoying the season, remember to stay informed and stay connected.
This has been Asheville Local Frequency. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
