1. Gov. Kemp Announces Gwinnett Superior Court Appointments (metroatlantaceo.com) — Two longtime local judges, Veronica Cope and Kathrine Armstrong, have been appointed to serve on the Superior Court of the Gwinnett Judicial Circuit, directly shaping how serious cases are handled in the county. Both women have deep professional and personal roots in Gwinnett County courts and legal organizations, and will move from their current Gwinnett judgeships into these influential roles.
2. Gwinnett Police Seek Public's Help Finding Missing 16-Year-Old Girl – [your]NEWS (yournews.com) — Gwinnett County Police are urgently asking for help finding 16-year-old Adah George, who never returned home to Hewatt Road after leaving to visit a friend on August 19 and has health concerns that heighten the urgency. Officers and her family are pleading with anyone who's seen her or has even small bits of information to contact police immediately so she can be brought home safely.
3. Gwinnett County district attorney challenging new election law (atlantanewsfirst.com) — Gwinnett County District Attorney Patsy Austin-Gatson is suing to overturn a new Georgia law that makes DA races nonpartisan in five metro Atlanta counties, including Gwinnett.

A news conference was planned at the Gwinnett Justice and Administration Center.
4. Minnesota gunmen sentenced to 40 years for attacking Gwinnett gang rivals (ocgnews.com) — Two Minnesota men have been sentenced to decades in prison after pleading guilty to gang-related charges in a 2022 shooting in Snellville that killed one man and seriously injured another. Gwinnett County prosecutors, local police, and the medical examiner worked with agencies from several states to track the suspects' movements and tie them to multiple shootings before securing the convictions.

Blue Collar, Better Future: Why America Needs to Rebuild Its Skilled Trades Workforce (livinginpeachtreecorners.com) — Gwinnett County is feeling the skilled trades shortage especially sharply, even as Gwinnett Tech and local partners train thousands of students for high-demand jobs like electrical work, HVAC, and water systems.
