Today's riddle: What are the two favorite words for a shark to hear? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. Suspect accused in fatal Fort Worth shooting used victim's own gun: affidavit (star-telegram.com) — Fort Worth readers are learning more about the August 29 killing of resident Tomas Garcia, after an affidavit alleges suspect Eric Trevino used Garcia's own gun and later hid evidence. The document describes a violent struggle inside Garcia's North Houston Street home, his severe gunshot and blunt-force injuries, and Trevino's shifting statements before his arrest and current jailing in Tarrant County.
2. Fort Worth submits $13.5M grant request for housing, homelessness programs (fortworthreport.org) — Fort Worth is seeking $13.5 million in federal HUD grants to support affordable housing, homelessness prevention, and services for vulnerable residents across the city. The proposed 2026-27 Action Plan would fund local nonprofits, rental assistance, homebuyer help, and aging-in-place programs, potentially shaping how low- and moderate-income Fort Worth residents access housing and support over the next year.
3. Residents see preview of Bonds Ranch Road bridge over Business 287, railroad crossings (fortworthreport.org) — Drivers in north Fort Worth can expect major changes at Bonds Ranch Road and Business 287, where a $116 million project will add a bridge over the highway and relocated rail lines, plus wider lanes and paths for walkers and cyclists. Backed by TxDOT, Tarrant County, and the city, the work is in design now, with right-of-way acquisition starting after 2027 and construction projected for summer 2028.
4. No. 21 Men's Golf Heads South for Ben Hogan Collegiate (pepperdinewaves.com) — A major collegiate golf tournament is teeing off Monday and Tuesday at Colonial Country Club in Fort Worth, bringing 16 top programs, including host TCU, to town. Pepperdine and other national powerhouses will compete for an exemption into the 2027 Charles Schwab Challenge, giving local fans a chance to see future PGA Tour talent up close.
