La Fogata on Eastex Freeway was forced to close Saturday night for violating COVID-19 restrictions. We’re told between 200-300 people were inside their establishment.
“As we were investigating this, and looking into their permits, the [La Fogata] manager made an announcement that they were shutting the event down,” said Martinez. “We just let that happen. They shut it down. It was pretty peaceful after that.”
