Good morning, Gaithersburg.

The City of Gaithersburg celebrates Asian American and Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander Heritage Month in May with special programs and a proclamation honoring AANHPI communities — those who make up 19% of the population and have contributed in fields such as science and commerce.

Montgomery County police arrested a 20-year-old man from Montgomery Village on May 1 for his involvement in the April 26 Brookridge Court homicide—detectives are still seeking a 19-year-old suspect charged with first-degree murder and armed robbery.

Montgomery County officials are urging residents to celebrate Cinco de Mayo responsibly by planning ahead to use safe ride options like SoberRide + Ride On bus service and will deploy enhanced police patrols on May 5 to deter impaired driving.

May is Building Safety Month in Gaithersburg and the city offers free deck inspections to residents of single-family homes—led by the Permits and Inspections Division to promote safe construction practices.

Residents can schedule an inspection by emailing [email protected].
