- The ceiling caved in on Melvina Rushing and Jovan Whitted at their Dallas apartment in January. They were buried under chunks of wood, sheetrock, dirty water and melting ice.
They are among hundreds of Texas tenants whose financial influencer-turned-landlord, Tie Lasater, has allowed their apartments to remain in deplorable conditions and disrepair, according to court and municipal records, an independent property assessment and interviews with city officials, contractors and tenants.
Investigative reporter Yamil Berard spent months speaking with tenants about their living conditions in properties currently or previously owned by Lasater.

- Most people think AI means ChatGPT. 💻
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang says that's just the tip of the iceberg.
During the opening of Wistron's new AI supercomputer factory in Fort Worth, Huang explained that AI starts with energy, chips and data centers long before it reaches the apps people use every day.
It's a big reason Nvidia is investing heavily in North Texas, where hundreds of new manufacturing jobs are expected as the region becomes a growing hub for AI infrastructure.
"Silicon is so yesterday," Huang said in an interview with The News' Lana Ferguson. "Who knows? Maybe this is 'AI Prairie.'"
