    Virginia Beach Oceanfront Curfew Enacted After April 11 Shooting Investigation

    Good morning, this is Virginia Beach Local Pulse for Saturday, April 18. We start with breaking news from the Oceanfront. Virginia Beach Police made another arrest yesterday in the April 11 shooting on the 1400 block of Atlantic Avenue that injured eight young people, all expected to recover. Twenty-year-old JaQuarrias Morris from Lancaster now faces seven counts each of aggravated malicious wounding, firearm use in a felony, and reckless handling with injury. Earlier arrests include Isaiah Charity and Jamya Williams. VBPD asks anyone with info to call 757-385-4101 or Crime Solvers anonymously. The investigation continues. This violence prompted City Council to approve a temporary all-ages curfew from 9:30 p.m. to 5 a.m. tonight and tomorrow, plus next Friday, in the zone from Rudee Loop to 31st Street along Atlantic and Pacific. It adds to the existing 7 p.m. minor curfew through April. Business owners worry about lost revenue, and former Delegate Tim Anderson sued on behalf of resident Lisa Lawrence, claiming it overreaches on adult rights. A hearing is Tuesday, but it starts tonight, so plan accordingly. Shifting to City Hall, no major votes today, but the curfew directly impacts weekend beach walks and nightlife, aiming to keep our streets safer. Weather-wise, sunny skies with highs near 72 degrees and light winds make it perfect for outdoor plans, though cooler evenings mean bundling up for that curfew zone stroll. Expect the same tomorrow. On the business front, a new coffee spot opened on Laskin Road, boosting Kempsville vibes, while no big closings reported. Jobs look steady with about 500 openings in hospitality and tech around Town Center. Real estate sees median home prices around 425,000 dollars, up 3 percent, drawing families to Bayside neighborhoods. Sports note: Our high school crews shone at the latest regatta off the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel. Upcoming, catch the free Spring Fest at Mount Trashmore Park tomorrow afternoon. And a feel-good story: Neighbors rallied to clean Croatan Beach, collecting over 200 pounds of litter, strengthening our community bonds. Thanks for tuning in, listeners—subscribe for daily updates.

    Virginia Beach Local Pulse: Oceanfront Curfew Approved, Perfect Beach Weather Ahead

    Good morning, this is Virginia Beach Local Pulse for Friday, April 17. We start with a major update from City Hall that affects our nights out at the Oceanfront. Last night, City Council voted 10-1 to approve a temporary all-ages curfew from 9:30 p.m. to 5 a.m. tonight and tomorrow, plus next Friday the 24th. It covers the area from Pacific Avenue to the Atlantic Ocean, Rudee Loop to 31st Street and Laskin Road. This builds on the existing 7 p.m. curfew for unaccompanied minors, all to boost public safety amid recent crowds and disturbances. Exemptions apply for work, hotels, medical needs, or emergencies, so folks heading home from a shift on Atlantic Avenue can move freely. We appreciate Council stepping up to keep our beach safe for everyone. Shifting to todays weather, south winds blow at 11 to 16 miles per hour with gusts near 27 along Lynnhaven Inlet, under mostly clear skies. No rain expected, perfect for beach walks or outdoor plans, though watch for rip currents if youre hitting the water near the Cavalier. Outlook stays mild through the weekend. On the events front, gear up for beach soccer action this weekend with teams from around the world competing right on our sands. Check Visit Virginia Beach for tickets and spots to cheer from a boardwalk bar. No major crimes reported in the past 24 hours here in Virginia Beach, keeping our streets steady. Elsewhere in Virginia, a heartbreaking murder-suicide involving former Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax and his wife unfolded yesterday in Fairfax County, but thats far from our shores. Local schools shine with First Colonial Highs varsity baseball team clinching a 5-2 win over Salem yesterday. And Kellam notched a strong girls soccer victory, 3-1. New business buzz includes a fresh coffee spot opening on Laskin Road next week, bringing more morning fuel to our east side. For a feel-good lift, community volunteers just planted 200 native trees along False Cape Park trails, sprucing up our natural gems for family hikes.

    Virginia Beach Local Pulse: Oceanfront Curfew Vote and Spring Weather Updates

    Good morning, this is Virginia Beach Local Pulse for Thursday, April 16. We kick off with breaking news from City Hall, where our City Council holds a special session at 4 p.m. today in Building 1 on Courthouse Drive to vote on a new all-ages curfew at the Oceanfront. This would ban everyone from Pacific Avenue and the Boardwalk between Rudee Loop and 31st Street after 9 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays through late April, building on the existing 7 p.m. rule for unaccompanied minors. It follows Saturday nights shooting on Atlantic Avenue that wounded eight people amid a group altercation, according to police reports. Mayor Bobby Dyer says well form a task force with community input to tackle violence, and exceptions apply for work, emergencies, worship, or ticketed events. We stay safe out there, listeners. In the past 24 hours, no major new crimes, but police remind us to report suspicious activity near the resort area. On a brighter note, the Virginia Museum of Contemporary Art just opened its bold new building with The Pursuit of Happiness exhibit, drawing crowds for cultural inspiration. Weather today brings partly cloudy skies with highs near 68 degrees and a light breeze off the Chesapeake Bay, perfect for outdoor plans but watch for scattered showers this afternoon that could dampen evening beach walks. Outlook stays mild through the weekend. New business buzz includes a fresh farmers market popping up Saturday at the Oceanfront, alongside Thoroughgood House Tours tomorrow and Saturday, reserving spots now at culture.virginiabeach.gov. Job market shows about 500 openings in hospitality and tech downtown, per local listings, while real estate holds steady with median home prices around 425,000 dollars. Local schools shine with Kellam Highs recent soccer win over Landstown, and upcoming, catch weekend events like live music on the Boardwalk. For feel-good vibes, neighbors rallied to clean Lynnhaven Park, fostering community spirit. Thanks for tuning in, listeners, and subscribe for daily updates. This has been Virginia Beach Local Pulse.

    Virginia Beach Oceanfront Shooting Update and Spring Festival Guide

    Good morning, this is Virginia Beach Local Pulse for Sunday, April twelfth. We're starting our news roundup with an important public safety alert from this weekend. Late Saturday night, emergency crews responded to a mass shooting at the Virginia Beach Oceanfront near the fourteen hundred block of Atlantic Avenue. According to dispatch reports, multiple people were shot in the incident, with at least four victims injured. The good news is that all reported patients were conscious and breathing when emergency crews arrived, and they were transported to local hospitals for treatment. Virginia Beach Police say there is no ongoing threat to the public at this time, and they are currently gathering suspect information as the investigation continues. This shooting comes just weeks after another incident at the oceanfront in early March when six victims were injured in an exchange of gunfire. Investigators have made arrests in that case, and we're grateful for the work our police department continues to do to keep our community safe. On a lighter note, if you're looking for things to do around the oceanfront this season, Virginia Beach has quite the calendar lined up. The city is gearing up to host a free Jazzteenth Festival celebrating Juneteenth history and culture right here at the Virginia Beach oceanfront. It's one of many festivals and concerts coming to our community, so be sure to check out the events calendar if you're looking for some beachside entertainment and boardwalk fun in the coming weeks. Now let's talk weather, because it's going to be a breezy day out there. We're looking at sunny skies with highs in the upper sixties this afternoon, and north winds gusting up to twenty five miles per hour. It's a nice day to get outside after what's been a pretty active weather season. Looking ahead to the week, we'll see clear skies tonight with lows in the lower fifties, and then things warm up gradually through the week. If you haven't been down to the oceanfront in a while, it might be a good time to plan a visit once you've caught up on all the latest community happenings. Our local businesses continue to thrive, and there's always something new happening along Atlantic Avenue and throughout our neighborhoods.
