"El Paso News Roundup: Shootings, Pet Pantries, Monsoon Prep, and Juneteenth Celebrations"
Good morning, this is El Paso Local Pulse for Saturday, June 21, 2025.
We start our day with breaking news out of Northeast El Paso, where three people were injured last night in a shooting at Nations Tobin Park. El Paso Police are investigating, and no arrests have been announced yet. Officials urge anyone with information to contact Crime Stoppers. In other crime news, a popular social media account helped El Paso deputies quickly arrest a local man on charges of animal cruelty. Authorities remind us to stay vigilant and report suspicious activity to keep our communities safe.
Turning to City Hall, the internal audit office is under scrutiny as an external review highlights concerns, though an independent audit still found the department adequate with recommendations for improvement. On a positive note, City Council approved new funding for pet pantries at El Paso public libraries, a move meant to keep our city more pet-friendly and support animal health programs.
The weather today is feeling every bit like a Borderland summer. We're looking at a high of 95 and muggy conditions as monsoon showers start to roll through the region this weekend and into next week. Be prepared for pop-up thunderstorms, especially in the late afternoons. HVAC experts are warning us to check on AC units and car tires as the heat continues to test our systems, so stay cool and remember to hydrate.
On the jobs front, Socorro ISD is ramping up recruitment at their first-ever expo, hoping to fill hundreds of new teaching and support staff positions as local districts prepare for a surge in state funding. In real estate, El Paso continues to attract new residents, with home prices holding steady. The market remains competitive, but we’re seeing more inventory come online, especially in East and Far East El Paso.
The business scene welcomes The Nook, a new bookstore and café opening today on Zaragoza Road, promising a cozy spot for book lovers and coffee enthusiasts. A few favorite local eateries downtown are under new management, and there’s chatter about another grocery option coming to the Lower Valley later this summer.
This weekend, we celebrate Juneteenth at Cleveland Square Park with food, music, and the historic unveiling of El Paso’s first Black Historical Tour Guide. In sports, El Paso native and NFL star Aaron Jones is back for his annual A&A celebrity golf tournament at Butterfield Trail—catch some local sports heroes and help raise funds for area youth. Meanwhile, FC Juárez faces Santos Laguna in a friendly match at Southwest University Park, and six-year-old Jiujitsu prodigy Lily Sandoval is making headlines after dominating her state tournament bracket.
Finally, a feel-good story: the County Commissioners Court officially recognized June as Immigrant Heritage Month, honoring the diverse cultures that make El Paso strong and unique.
This has been El Paso Local Pulse. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
