Owner of Fort Worth's Fuego Burger assaulted in restaurant, family says
The owner of a Fort Worth burger restaurant is recovering after he was assaulted inside his business, according to a statement from his family.
Carlos Rodriguez was attacked at the Fuego Burger restaurant, at 4400 Benbrook Highway in west Fort Worth, on May 13, according to a police report.
Rodriguez will be away from the restaurant for two to three months until his doctors give him the all-clear to return to work, his family said in a statement shared on social media.
Rodriguez' wife, Christie, and their son will keep the restaurant running in his absence, they said.
'While we may not be operating at our usual pace, please know every meal is still prepared with love and dedication,' the family's statement says.
Nehemiah Green, 24, of DeSoto, has been arrested and faces a charge of assault causing bodily injury in the case, according to the police report.
Fuego Burger was a finalist in a past Star-Telegram 'Burger Battle' contest for its signature sandwich, a green chile cheeseburger with crispy cheddar jack cheese.
Fort Worth police did not immediately provide more details about the incident Wednesday afternoon.

Three killed in Russian attack on Ukraine's Kharkiv; Ukrainian drones injure two near Moscow
LONDON (Reuters) -Overnight missile and bomb strikes by Russia on the Ukrainian city of Kharkiv left three people dead and 22 hurt, while a Ukrainian drone attack in the Moscow region wounded two people, officials from both countries said separately on Saturday. Russian forces used high-precision long-range weapons and drones to hit designated military targets in Ukraine overnight, hitting all of them, according to Russia's Defence Ministry. Separately, Ukraine has indefinitely postponed accepting the bodies of its killed soldiers and the exchange of prisoners of war, Kremlin aide Vladimir Medinsky said. This was counter to an agreement between the two countries at a second round of peace talks in Istanbul on Monday, where they said they would swap more prisoners and return the bodies of 12,000 dead soldiers. The northeastern city of Kharkiv, one of Ukraine's largest, is just a few dozen kilometres (miles) from the Russian border and has been under frequent Russian shelling during more than three years of war triggered by Russia's full-scale invasion. "Kharkiv is currently experiencing the most powerful attack since the start of the full-scale war," Mayor Ihor Terekhov said in a post on Telegram earlier on Saturday. Residential buildings, educational and infrastructure facilities were attacked, he said, and photos showed buildings burnt and reduced partially to rubble, as rescuers carried the wounded away for treatment. Kharkiv regional Governor Oleh Syniehubov said there could still be people buried under the rubble after one civilian industrial facility was hit by 40 drones and several bombs. In the Moscow region, two people were injured after a drone attack by Ukraine overnight and on Friday, Governor Andrei Vorobyov said on Telegram, with nine drones shot down. Russia's aviation watchdog said operations had resumed at the Domodedovo, Sheremetyevo and Zhukovsky airports in the Moscow region after being suspended temporarily for flight safety reasons. The Defence Ministry said that since midnight, air defence units had intercepted and destroyed 36 Ukrainian drones over Russian territory, including the Moscow region. Ukraine's air forces also shot down a Russian Su-35 fighter jet on Saturday morning, its military said without providing further details. Russian forces have not yet commented on the matter while Reuters could not independently verify the report. A Ukrainian drone attack deep inside Russian territory last weekend likely damaged around 10% of Russia's strategic bomber fleet and hit some of the aircraft as they were being prepared for strikes on Ukraine, a senior German military official said in a YouTube podcast set for broadcast later on Saturday.
