Good morning, this is El Paso Local Pulse for Sunday, October 12.
We start with crime news from the weekend. The El Paso County Sheriff's Office arrested 23-year-old Jeremiah Nathanial Aguilar on Friday after a deadly fight at the 500 block of Winter Spring Place early Tuesday morning. A 37-year-old man died from injuries sustained during a physical altercation between the two. Aguilar was charged with criminally negligent homicide and is being held on a $100,000 bond at the El Paso County Detention Facility. The Fugitive Apprehension Unit took him into custody without incident at his residence.
In other arrests, deputies caught 39-year-old Jose Rodriguez during a home break-in Tuesday night at the 300 block of NW Fassett in Fabens. After a brief foot chase, officers apprehended Rodriguez in the 700 block of Mesa Ridge. He already had an active warrant for parole violation and faces additional charges for evading arrest with previous convictions. He's being held without bond.
Looking at our weather today, we're enjoying mild temperatures in the mid-70s with light breezes and plenty of sunshine. No rain is expected, making this a perfect Sunday for outdoor activities around town. This pleasant weather should hold through the weekend, ideal timing for those planning to attend local events or spend time at our parks.
The job market continues to thrive with over three thousand openings across the Borderland. Positions range from warehouse associates in the Lower Valley to office assistants uptown. Remote work opportunities are also growing, with experienced professionals seeing average salaries near $130,000 annually. Costco is actively hiring at its Central location, and Handgards urgently needs press operators in the Lower Valley.
Our housing market remains stable after summer's surge. Starter homes on the Eastside average around $210,000, keeping homeownership accessible for first-time buyers. Apartment rentals stay competitive, especially near UTEP and downtown.
