Good morning, this is El Paso Local Pulse for Friday, October third, twenty twenty-five. We hope your day is off to a smooth start. The sun is shining and skies are clear as we wake up with temperatures in the upper seventies, heading to a toasty high around ninety-one this afternoon and dipping into the mid-sixties overnight. Plan for a warm, dry day, perfect for getting outside before the weekend rush.

In breaking news overnight, emergency crews responded to a fire on the Lower Valley side of town just after midnight. Sadly, a family lost their beloved dog, though no other injuries have been reported. The cause is still under investigation. Traffic this morning is heavy on Zaragoza at North Loop and on Joe Battle Boulevard, where early accidents have closed left lanes, so we’ll want to take alternate routes if possible.

Turning to public safety, two suspects have been arrested after a high-speed chase that started in El Paso and ended across the state line in Mesilla. Closer to home, a man was arrested after crashing an SUV into a train in Tornillo earlier this week, causing thousands of dollars in damage but fortunately no serious injuries. Elsewhere in El Paso, police made an arrest after a man implicated himself in a shooting in the south-central neighborhood, and another was charged with multiple offenses including DWI after fleeing the scene of a crash.

One story that’s shaken the community: a local cheer coach for the Texas Bandits All-Stars, already facing legal trouble for allegedly recording people without their consent, has now been re-arrested with five new charges of invasive visual recording. Authorities are urging anyone with information to contact them as this investigation continues.

Looking to City Hall, El Paso leaders are taking steps to shape our future through the Envision El Paso plan. The city council reviewed new updates this week, drawing on surveys and workshops from neighbors all over the city. People have spoken up about the need for more affordable housing, better parks, walkable neighborhoods, and improved infrastructure. The next update for the city’s long-term land use map is expected later this month, and community input remains essential for making El Paso a great place for all.

In the world of business and real estate, city resolutions show several new consulting contracts for economic development are moving forward. A notable change involves a parcel at 6901 Montana Avenue, near the airport, which is shifting to new ownership under a lease agreement, setting the stage for potential new growth in that part of town.

If you’re looking for work, the job market here is steady with opportunities especially in construction and logistics as new development projects break ground, and local agencies have reported a slight uptick in open positions since last month.

On the cultural front, the long-awaited El Paso Fall Carnival is back after a long hiatus, bringing rides and games to Ascarate Park throughout the weekend. Community events also include tonight’s live music show at Tricky Falls downtown and a car wash fundraiser for youth programs at the Boys and Girls Club in nearby Las Cruces kicking off Saturday.

For schools, congratulations go out to the Eastwood Troopers football team for their decisive win last night, continuing a strong season and bringing pride to the east side’s fans and families.

And a quick feel-good moment to wrap up, a group of neighbors on Copper Avenue came together yesterday afternoon, helping to restore the historic shade trees in the Manhattan Heights district—a small but inspiring example of how we look out for one another across generations.
