  • Fort Worth Local Pulse: Homicides, Job Market Growth, and Community Events

    Fort Worth Local Pulse: Homicides, Job Market Growth, and Community Events
    Jan 8 2025
    Good morning, this is Fort Worth Local Pulse for January 8, 2025. We're starting the week with some significant news from our city.

    First off, we have some breaking news from the past couple of days. Unfortunately, Fort Worth has seen its first two homicides of 2025. A domestic dispute and an apparent car burglary led to these tragic incidents, according to police reports. Our thoughts are with the families affected by these events.

    Moving on to the job market, we have some positive news. The latest data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics shows that the Fort Worth labor force has seen a steady increase. As of October 2024, the labor force stood at approximately 495,000, up 2.87% from the previous year. This growth is a promising sign for our local economy.

    In real estate news, we don't have any major updates on notable property sales or new development projects today. However, we'll keep an eye on any significant changes in the market and bring them to you as soon as possible.

    From city hall, we're back after the holiday break, and the first edition of City News for 2025 was published on Sunday, January 5. We encourage you to subscribe to get the news delivered to your email.

    Weather-wise, a cold front is expected to move through our area on Sunday, and we are going to see freezing temperatures next week. So, make sure to bundle up for the weekend.

    Looking ahead to community events, there are several exciting activities lined up for the next few weeks. On February 7, fathers and daughters can enjoy the Daddy Daughter Dance at the Keller Senior Activities Center. The following day, the Lovely Local Finds Vendor Sale will take place in Roanoke, featuring unique, handcrafted products from local artisans and makers. And on February 14, the City of Roanoke will host a Valentine’s Dance with door prize giveaways, candy, and dessert tables.

    In local school news, we're gearing up for the Casey’s 5K Fun Run on March 1, which will help fund Keller schools. Registration is open, and we encourage everyone to participate.

    On a lighter note, the Fort Worth Public Library is offering several free events, including a workshop on African American Quilt Tiles and a Teen DIY session to transform old T-shirts into stylish tote bags.

    In crime news, we have a significant arrest to report. Zachery Ty Bryan was arrested on Thursday and charged with domestic violence in the 2nd degree.

    This has been Fort Worth Local Pulse. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.

  • Fort Worth Local Pulse: Homicides, Job Growth, and Community Cleanup

    Fort Worth Local Pulse: Homicides, Job Growth, and Community Cleanup
    Jan 6 2025
    Good morning, this is Fort Worth Local Pulse for Monday, January 6, 2025. We're starting the week with a mix of news and updates that impact our daily lives.

    First off, let's address the recent incidents that have shaken our community. Unfortunately, Fort Worth has seen its first two homicides of 2025, with a domestic dispute and an apparent car burglary leading to these tragic events. Our thoughts are with the families affected by these incidents. According to police reports, the first homicide occurred on Sabinas Trail, where a 48-year-old man was shot dead in what appears to be a domestic incident. The second incident happened on Crowley Road, where a man was found dead from a gunshot wound after potentially confronting a car burglary.

    Moving on to the job market, we have some positive news. The latest data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics shows that the Fort Worth labor force has seen a steady increase. As of October 2024, the labor force stood at approximately 495,000, up 2.87% from the previous year. This growth is a promising sign for our local economy, particularly in the education and health services sector, which added around 14,600 jobs, and in financial activities, which added about 10,700 jobs.

    In real estate news, we don't have any major updates on notable property sales or new development projects today. However, we'll keep an eye on any significant changes in the market and bring them to you as soon as possible.

    From city hall, we're watching for updates on decisions that affect daily life. However, there have been no major announcements in the past few days.

    Weather-wise, today is expected to be partly cloudy with a high of 58 degrees Fahrenheit. This should make for a pleasant day for outdoor activities and events. Looking ahead, we're expecting a mix of sun and clouds throughout the week.

    In new business activity, we're excited to see the local economy thriving. However, we don't have any specific openings, closings, or major changes to report today.

    For upcoming community events, the Fort Worth Stockyards National Historic District is hosting a variety of activities this week, including live music and cattle drives. We encourage you to check out their schedule for more details.

    In local school achievements, we'd like to highlight the recent success of the Fort Worth Independent School District's robotics team, which won a regional competition. Congratulations to the team on their achievement.

    For today's crime report, the Fort Worth Police Department is still investigating the two homicides from the first few hours of 2025. No arrests have been made in either case, but homicide detectives are working diligently to gather further information and bring the suspects to justice.

    Finally, we'd like to share a feel-good community story. Local volunteers have been working together to clean up parks and green spaces around Fort Worth, making our city a more beautiful place for everyone.

    This has been Fort Worth Local Pulse. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.

    Good morning, this is Fort Worth Local Pulse for January 6, 2025. We're starting the week with a look back at the significant news from our city over the past few days.

    First off, we have some breaking news from the past couple of days. Unfortunately, Fort Worth has seen its first two homicides of 2025. A domestic dispute and an apparent car burglary led to these tragic incidents, according to police reports. Our thoughts are with the families affected by these events. The first incident occurred around 1 a.m. on New Year's Day at a home on the 8800 block of Sabinas Trail, where a 48-year-old man was shot dead in what appears to be a domestic incident. The second shooting happened around 2:40 a.m. in a parking lot in the 5700 block of Crowley Road, where a man was found dead from a gunshot wound after potentially confronting a car burglary.

    Moving on to the job market, we have some positive news. The latest data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics shows that the Fort Worth labor force has seen a steady increase. As of October 2024, the labor force stood at approximately 495,000, up 2.87% from the previous year. This growth is a promising sign for our local economy.

    In real estate news, we don't have any major updates on notable property sales or new development projects today. However, we'll keep an eye on any significant changes in the market and bring them to you as soon as possible.

    From City Hall, we have some reminders about holiday closures and services. Most City offices, including City Hall, were closed on New Year's Day, but emergency services were available as usual. Also, residents are reminded that the sale, possession, or discharge of fireworks anywhere in the city limits is illegal.

    Looking at the weather, today is expected to be partly cloudy with a high of 58 degrees. It's a great day to get out and enjoy some of the local events happening around town.

    Speaking of events, there are several community activities planned for the next few days. The third annual Lightscape event is ongoing, featuring a spectacular collaboration with Sony Music. Also, ice skating in the Stockyards continues until January 5, offering seven weeks of fun for the family.

    In local school news, we don't have any specific achievements or sports results to share today, but we'll be back with more updates soon.

    On a positive note, we want to highlight the resilience of our community in the face of challenging events. Despite the tragic incidents that started the year, Fort Worth remains a vibrant and growing city, with much to offer its residents.

    In today's crime report, we want to remind everyone to stay vigilant and report any suspicious activity to the police. The Fort Worth Police Department is still investigating the two homicides from New Year's Day and is seeking any information that might lead to arrests.
