• Armed suspects in Facebook Marketplace robberies arrested by Fort Worth police (star-telegram.com) — Fort Worth police arrested two men accused of robbing people during Facebook Marketplace meetups and attempting a carjacking, recovering a gun and stolen property. Officers used dashcam footage, crime-center tech, and license-plate readers, and they're urging residents to meet in public, well-lit places or safe exchange zones when buying or selling items.
   

• Broken AC units leave some Fort Worth apartment residents in the heat – NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth (nbcdfw.com) — Families at The Hayes apartments off Southwest Loop 820 say they've endured broken air conditioning through brutal Fort Worth heat, even as the city has cited the complex for multiple AC violations. Fort Worth's code rules, tenant legal options, and the management company's repair efforts are all in play as residents push for cooler, safer homes.
   

• TCU bans Fort Worth Star-Telegram over coverage of football locker room attack (lancasteronline.com) — TCU has pulled the Fort Worth Star-Telegram's credentials to cover Horned Frogs athletics, citing concerns that the paper's reporting on an Aug. 13 locker room assault led to threats against a player. The move affects the Star-Telegram's beat writer, including access for Saturday's season opener in Dublin, and leaves Fort Worth's primary TCU news source sidelined while both sides discuss next steps.
