• Atlantic City teen sentenced to 20 years on manslaughter charges (courierpostonline.com) — An Atlantic City teenager has been sentenced to 20 years in state prison after admitting to aggravated manslaughter in a 2023 fatal stabbing at Carver Hall Apartments. Prosecutors say surveillance video showed him meeting the victim, stabbing him, and then returning to his apartment, with additional charges stemming from later incidents at the Atlantic County Juvenile Detention Center. 
• Atlantic County man killed in single-vehicle crash (thedailyjournal.com) — A 32-year-old Mays Landing man was killed early Thursday when his minivan left Route 40 in Hamilton Township, struck a utility pole, and came to rest in nearby woods. The crash, which drew multiple local rescue and fire units, appears in the same Atlantic County news roundup that also highlights a recent Atlantic City teen manslaughter sentencing.
• New Jersey Misses Deadline for Casino Expansion Ballot Measure (playusa.com) — Atlantic City’s casino industry just dodged an immediate challenge, as New Jersey lawmakers missed the deadline to ask voters about allowing new casinos in North Jersey. Opponents, including Atlantic City representatives, argue more casinos elsewhere could weaken the city’s nine properties, so any expansion vote is now delayed until at least 2027.
