FRISCO, Texas — Karmelo Anthony, the teen accused of fatally stabbing another teen, Austin Metcalf, at a Frisco track meet, has been indicted on a murder charge, officials said.

A grand jury indicted Anthony on Tuesday, according to the Collin County District Attorney's Office. A murder charge is punishable by 5-99 years or life in prison.



Anthony, a 17-year-old former student of Frisco Centennial High School, was arrested and charged with murder in the fatal stabbing of Frisco Memorial High School student athlete Austin Metcalf in April at a track meet in Frisco ISD's Kuykendall Stadium. He was released from jail later that month after his bond was reduced from $1 million to $250,000.

Anthony has claimed self defense in the case, which garnered national attention, heightening racial tensions and raising security concerns among everyone connected to the case, including both families and Judge Angela Tucker, who is presiding over the case.

"We know this case has struck a deep nerve — here in Collin County and beyond," Collin County District Attorney Greg Willis said in a statement Tuesday. "That’s understandable. When something like this happens at a school event, it shakes people to the core. But the justice system works best when it moves with steadiness and with principle. That’s what we’re committed to. And that’s exactly what this case deserves."

Anthony's attorney, Mike Howard, called Tuesday's indictment "an expected and routine step in the legal process."

"Karmelo and his family are confident in the justice system and the people of Collin County to be fair and impartial," Howard said. "Of course, Karmelo looks forward to his day in court. It's only in a trial that a jury will hear the full story, one that includes critical facts and context that the grand jury simply didn't get to hear."

Howard again raised Anthony's self defense claim in his statement Tuesday.

"We expect that when the full story is heard, the prosecution will not be able to rule out the reasonable doubt that Karmelo Anthony may have acted in self defense," Howard said. "Self defense is a fundamental right guaranteed every American."



Metcalf's father, Jeff Metcalf, told WFAA in a statement that he's "pleased that we are moving forward."

“With the first degree murder indictment, it now goes into the court system," Jeff Metcalf said. "I fully believe that justice will be served for Austin Metcalf. I look forward to the forthcoming trial. But it will never bring my son back.“

Under his bond conditions, Anthony is required to wear an ankle monitor and ask permission to leave his home. If Anthony violates any conditions of his bond, he will have to return to jail. He graduated and received his high school diploma in May, but did not attend the ceremony, WFAA previously reported.

Anthony allegedly confessed to the stabbing immediately after he was arrested, claiming he was defending himself from Metcalf, officials said, as WFAA previously reported.

A witness reportedly told police that Metcalf told Anthony he had to move out from under the Memorial High School tent. Anthony responded by opening his bag and reaching inside, WFAA previously reported.

"Touch me and see what happens," Anthony told Metcalf, according to a witness.

Metcalf reportedly then touched Anthony, the witness told a responding officer, and Anthony told Metcalf to punch him and see what would happen. Soon afterward, the witness said, Metcalf reportedly grabbed Anthony to tell him to move. At which point, the affidavit continues, Anthony reportedly pulled out what the witness recalled as a black knife and stabbed Metcalf once in the chest before running away.

The deep tension sparked by the incident has raised concerns that the case may be tried outside of Collin County. Collin County District Attorney Greg Willis told WFAA that the judge will make that decision at the time of trial.

He doesn't seem remorseful for what happened at all.

Why would he be? There's an army of niggers telling him he did the right thing and showering his family with millions of dollars. We cannot live together. Coexistence between our two races is a failed experiment.

 

[JustKiwiPosting]

I want to think that seeing the way these niggers have been acting this past year, and especially ever since the trial began, will be a great "awokening" for Jeff. I want to think that, but I'm not gonna hold my breath.

At this point the only way he could really reclaim his honor is do a fed post in real life after the verdict.

 

[Irregardless]

If everyone isn't aware Carmello was allowed to finish high school after the incident.

What white kid would've been allowed to finish after stabbing a fucking kid. If Austin lived and fought for his life he most likely wouldve been suspended. I think most can agree that zero tolerance isn't great, but it seems like something you have to do if forced to have rules for violent apes and don't wanna be called racist.

This was done strategically, I think it's pretty obvious Karmelo is going to get life, and I think that his side knows that.
The thing about the legal system though is that there are a million loop holes and with enough time, money, and support, criminals can worm their way out of almost anything.
I think the goal was to set him up to continuously pursue parole, and that in maybe 10, 15, or even 20 years, after enough time has passed along with potential social changes or changes to the law, he'll be able to get out through some scam social program.

I think their banking on another Floyd incident during a time the left is in power, knowing that their best chance to get him out is to get ready for a time where people are more sympathetic towards niggers.

a time where people are more sympathetic towards niggers.

Based on how the niggers outside of the courthouse are acting, I don’t see a time like that coming any time soon.

Young black men who grew up without fathers have problems understanding rules due to lack of discipline since early age

It's been many years since I read up on this and I pretty much stopped when I spent time around blacks and it stopped being hypothetical, but from what I was reading in high school, it used to be down to the grandmothers to teach the teenage males that they may feel grown and hardass, but trees still exist, and police are their modern counterpart.

 

[The Last Stand]

So, I'm at work now. I see two women soliciting at my door for something. I look at the peephole, I see Karmelo's face on one of their flyers. Are you fucking kidding me? Thank goodness I did not answer the door.

Karamelo, like many American blacks, have antisocial behaviors, without necessarily having an antisocial disorder. They take any antagonism as a personal attack due to their inability to understand boundaries or the perspective of others.

This is product of upbringing, most of the times. White people are evil, hence, they have no obligation to follow their rules. Young black men who grew up without fathers have problems understanding rules due to lack of discipline since early age, but as this ain't Karamels case, this is a cultural thing based on being black vs being white. Notice how he was fine until a white dude approached him and told him he didn't belong here. In his mind, he was Rosa Parks and if he didn't kill Austin, he'd end up lynched. That's why they claim self defense. This is what social justice is about: justification of attacks to the group considered the oppressive group due to behavior that happened in the past.

Things didn't have to end like this for Karamelo. He could have just left. He chose to stay and kill Austin for the crime of being disrespected, making him his personal enemy.

It's been many years since I read up on this and I pretty much stopped when I spent time around blacks and it stopped being hypothetical, but from what I was reading in high school, it used to be down to the grandmothers to teach the teenage males that they may feel grown and hardass, but trees still exist, and police are their modern counterpart.

The “single moms” meme is a giant fucking cope. White and Latinos have very high rates of single motherhood and nowhere near the same crime rate.

Niggers have been a violent blight on society for almost a century now, yet 5 years ago we had world leaders kneeling at the feet of a dead crack addict.
We somehow got there once already, I wouldn't be surprised if we end up there again.

 

[ZipDisk]

All the ones I was around had at least one murder in the family.

More like since the first boat landed.

Not sure what the difference between a slit vs oval knife wound would be if any med fags know.

I'd guess it's the difference of the type of attack. This could mean that Karmelo had all intention to cause harm and kill. A young person defending themselves might just cause a few slashes.

 

[Tacgnol]

With today's ai graphics tools, I'm somewhat surprised nobody's parodied the old blackpeopleloveus.com site with a blackpeoplestabus.com, swapping the white couple for this kid and the ukie blonde murdered by that other crazy fucker.

from google it appears that a slit would indicate a double edged blade vs the single edged blade that was used

State rests their case after med examiner

State rests after jury sees images from Austin Metcalf's autopsy​

By​

After jurors saw photos from Austin Metcalf's autopsy following the stabbing at a Frisco track meet in April 2025, the state rested their case.
nbc 5

that was a relatively short and sweet case by the prosecution, first responders, eye witnesses, and the med examiner

>Your children should be raped and murdered

I've seen animal carcasses festering with maggots that didn't disgust me as much as some of my fellow countrymen.

Niggers are not our countrymen, they are rabid animals that have been allowed to run amuck for far too long.

I think the goal was to set him up to continuously pursue parole, and that in maybe 10, 15, or even 20 years

This is a big reason the various NGO innocence projects that release Knifemelos work. After a decade or two the case has fallen out of public memory. Staff in the courts have retired or otherwise moved on and there isn't much interest in rehashing it even from family of the victims. This creates attack vectors for these parasitic jew lawyers to exploit. It's how you get convicted killers out on the street even though they got life without parole.

I think it's a very thin possibility. Nigger fatigue is very real. Decent people of all races, including other blacks, are fed up with the ooking, eeking, violence, laziness, entitlement, and victimhood. Five years ago you would have had all kinds of people on Karamello's side standing outside the court to show their support? Now? It's just other trashy Basketball-Americans there showing the world that stereotypes exist for a reason and are perfectly legitimate. Niggers acting like niggers and Pajeets acting like Pajeets are opening the door to an all-new era of racial awareness in decent people.

 

[get_ur_gamon]

I know someone has probably brought this up already, but the whole "no black juror" line is an early attempt to discredit the eventual guilty conviction. So fucking tiresome.

Won't work. The jury was impaneled by a black judge. They would need to argue that the black judge was also a race traitor who allowed the state to illegally strike all possible black jurors.

 

[vanta pilled]

The defense briefly questioned Ventura about whether it was possible for Austin to have impaled himself on Karmelo's knife when he pushed Karmelo.

The defense is really out here asking if Metcalf ran into the knife
