El Paso Local Pulse: Sizzling Temps, Animal Rescue, and Community Spirit
Good morning, this is El Paso Local Pulse for Thursday, August 28, 2025.
We wake up today under mostly sunny skies, with temperatures climbing quickly toward a high near 97 degrees. Northwest breezes should provide a touch of relief, but if you are headed out, sunscreen and water are your best friends. We are tracking summer heat into Friday, with only a slim chance of an afternoon thunderstorm on the east side, so plan accordingly if you have outdoor activities or are joining in on city events.
Big news from city hall: excitement and some debate followed yesterday as council members finalized plans for Labor Day weekend city services. The council moved ahead with plans ensuring extra Sun Metro routes and late-night streetcar service to support growing crowds expected downtown and near the UTEP campus. Discussions are also ongoing about funding for a new eastside skatepark, promising good news for youth in the Montana Vista area soon.
In our neighborhoods, El Paso Animal Services officials have rescued more than two dozen dogs and cats from a home with unsafe conditions on the west side, following a Municipal Court judgment this week. This is a strong statement that our community will not tolerate animal cruelty, and all of the rescued pets are now safe and under veterinary care.
On a more somber note, El Paso police are investigating a murder-suicide in east El Paso, on the 11800 block of Chelita Drive. Detectives confirm that Jose and Lourdes Urrieta, both 58, were found deceased inside their home Tuesday. Authorities urge families to seek support during difficult times and remind us resources are available for those in crisis.
Despite the heartbreak, our community spirit shines bright. For a feel-good note, let’s spotlight volunteers at Lincoln Park, who just wrapped up a week-long mural restoration, inviting kids and artists to celebrate Chicano art beneath I-10. These community-driven efforts keep El Paso’s culture vibrant and our public spaces beautiful.
Looking at the real estate market, median home prices in El Paso have held steady around three hundred and two thousand dollars this August, with a small rise in available listings citywide. Local agents are optimistic, noting new developments on the far west side are attracting first-time home buyers. On the job front, the city’s unemployment rate dipped to just under four percent, and several area employers are hiring, including new tech support positions announced at the Amazon fulfillment center near Montana Avenue.
Labor Day celebrations are just around the corner, with St. Anthony’s Bazaar kicking off Saturday morning at 4601 Hastings Drive. This three-day tradition features live music, food, games, and raffles to support the Franciscan Seminary. Friday night also marks the grand finale of the El Fresco Music Series downtown with a Latin-themed concert, and El Paso Pro-Musica presents the Balourdet Quartet tonight at the UTEP Fox Fine Arts Recital Hall.
For families, El Paso ISD reports a record number of students joining advanced STEM programs, and our high school football teams take the field this week as the new season begins, with big games at Andress and Franklin stadiums tonight.
That wraps up our local headlines today. Thank you for tuning in and don’t forget to subscribe for tomorrow’s news and everything happening in our community. This has been El Paso Local Pulse.
