Frisco Athletic Center Robbery Update
Frisco .com reported this before any other news outlet. I got a lot of incorrect “fake news” accusations.
The Frisco Police Department released the below statement with more info:
On June 29, 2026, at approximately 8:00 pm, Frisco Police responded to a robbery involving a firearm that occurred in the parking lot at the Frisco Athletic Center. The robbery occurred following a pre-arranged meeting at this location with the involved parties. The persons left in a blue and white Ford Bronco before officers arrived.
Officers learned the Bronco belonged to a nearby resident and later located the Bronco at a fast-food restaurant a few miles from the FAC. Officers interviewed the persons associated with the vehicle and learned the person with the handgun was not there.
With the assistance of our detectives and school resource officers, the preliminary investigation revealed that the individuals involved were juveniles enrolled in Frisco ISD. All parties identified in the incident will be held accountable for their actions.
Armed robbery reported at the Frisco Athletic Center - A customer said someone pulled a gun on him and took his items. Suspects are four black males in a blue jeep.
Frisco's World Cup spotlight got a little messier than expected.
After Sweden's national team arrived for training at Toyota Stadium recently, they found a stadium renovation demolition scene visible nearby, with twisted metal, rubble, and construction debris included. Officials say the work was scheduled, permitted, controlled, and did not involve explosives or interfere with Sweden's field or facilities.
Still, the optics were rough. Frisco had promoted its role as Sweden's World Cup base camp, so images of international players training next to demolition debris were quickly perceived by some residents and fans as an embarrassment for the city. The story made international news, turning what officials described as routine renovation work into an unwanted World Cup-era headline for Frisco.

The Judge in the Karmelo Anthony case has banned Jake Lang from the entire state of Texas.
Lang has been in the Collin County jail for a variety charges, including terroristic threat.
Lang made the Frisco news at a recent City Council meeting where he pointed at Frisco City Council members and told them "You deserve to be strung," and seemingly encouraged people to burn down a local mosque.
The latest debacle and ban from Texas came about after a video surfaced where Lang said:
"I will be waiting outside this courthouse" and "Guess what? Headshot. Done."
"You’re going to kill Karmelo Anthony?" a woman asked.
"Yes," Lang replied.
Lang's latest bond conditions include being banned from Texas (except for fulfilling court obligations) and wearing a new GPS ankle monitor.

Frisco Couple Sentenced to 40 Years Each in $30M Pyramid Scheme
A Frisco couple has been sentenced to 40 years each in federal prison for running a pandemic-era pyramid scheme that prosecutors say cheated more than 10,000 people out of over $30 million.
LaShonda and Marlon Moore promoted “Blessings in No Time,” or BINT, as an invitation-only community helping people financially during COVID-19, but officials said it was built on false promises of 800% returns.
Participants were told to pay at least $1,400 into “playing boards” and recruit others, while the Moores allegedly positioned themselves to collect major payouts.
Federal officials said the scheme targeted the African American community and used trust, polished marketing and even a reality TV appearance to lure victims. The case was investigated by the U.S. Postal Inspection Service, Secret Service and IRS Criminal Investigation.
