Trains, Zoos, and Cultural Celebrations: El Paso Local Pulse March 27, 2025
Good morning, this is El Paso Local Pulse for Thursday, March 27, 2025.
We're starting with some breaking news from the Upper Valley. Late last night, a person was struck by a train near Doniphan Drive and Sunset Road. El Paso Police are on the scene, and we'll bring you more details as they become available.
In a major development, the El Paso Zoo has lost its national accreditation from the Association of Zoos and Aquariums due to ongoing maintenance issues. City officials are working to regain this recognition, with City Manager Dionne Mack stating they plan to bring in a third party to develop a comprehensive plan. While animal care at the zoo was praised, concerns were raised about visitor experience, including pathways and signage. The city is now looking to reallocate funds from the quality of life bond for renovations.
On a brighter note, El Paso Electric has announced they'll be issuing refunds to Texas customers over the next three months. The average household can expect to see their power bills lowered by about 14% during this period, with refunds of nearly $40 on average. This comes as a result of the utility's significant off-system sales of electricity over the past year.
In weather news, we're looking at a warm and sunny day ahead, with temperatures reaching the mid-80s. It's perfect weather for outdoor activities, so why not head down to the Mexican American Cultural Center? They're opening their doors to the public for the first time this Saturday, offering a chance to explore El Paso's rich cultural heritage.
On the business front, we've got some exciting news for book lovers. Local author Richard Parker's book, "The Crossing: El Paso, the Southwest, and America's Forgotten Origin Story," was recently published. Sadly, Parker passed away just days after its release. The book offers a unique perspective on our city's history and is available at local bookstores.
In sports, congratulations to Franklin Miller from Clint Horizon High School. The sophomore pitcher struck out 12 and gave up only one hit in an 11-1 win over El Paso Hanks last week. Keep an eye on this rising star!
We've got a quick crime update for you. The El Paso County Sheriff's Office has identified the victim in the recent Crawford Avenue homicide as 24-year-old Miguel Ramirez Quiroz. Miguel Angel Garcia-Hernandez has been arrested in connection with the case.
In community news, the El Paso Black Hall of Fame is set to induct its first class of 17 'legends' this Saturday. These inductees represent diverse professions and share common threads of leadership and love for our community.
Lastly, we want to remind everyone about the upcoming Change Makers event celebrating Borderland Women in Health. It's happening later today, recognizing the contributions and innovations of women working in health-related fields across our region.
This has been El Paso Local Pulse. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
