43-year-old cold case; data center revolt; latest on ‘Lioness.’ Today’s top stories

From a decades-old double homicide that still haunts Weatherford to a Parker County revolt against data centers, here are some of the top stories today from the Fort Worth Star-Telegram:

• The 1983 killings of 16-year-old Vincent Tijerina Jr. and 14-year-old Michelle Colliflower remain unsolved 43 years after the teens were found shot in a car in Weatherford, a cold case that continues to haunt the North Texas town. Police reopened the case in 2021 and say they are working with the Texas Rangers, FBI and the Attorney General’s Cold Case Task Force, but family members remain skeptical after decades of unfulfilled promises. Reporting by Tanya Babbar.
• Taylor Sheridan’s espionage thriller “Lioness” will premiere its third season on Paramount+ on Sunday, Aug. 2, with a first look at new photos released by the streamer. The Zoe Saldaña-led series filmed in Fort Worth from October 2025 through March, marking the second consecutive season shot in North Texas. Reporting by Brayden Garcia.
• Parker County commissioners approved a resolution Tuesday prohibiting tax abatements and economic development agreements for data centers, as more than 100 residents packed the courthouse to oppose data center development. One speaker, Jessica Shulman, told commissioners she had been laid off earlier that day and replaced by artificial intelligence, urging officials to “fight like Texas men.” Reporting by Emily Holshouser.
• Ten Fort Worth apartment complexes and motels generated nearly 2,200 police calls in 2025, averaging more than six calls per day across the properties. The Primavera Apartments at 2201 E. Berry St. topped the list with 407 calls, including reports of shootings, burglaries, assaults and a kidnapping. Reporting by Matthew Adams.
