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.

To be fair, and this has been said about many similar cases, the government will send over apparatchiks to the family to pressure them into not saying anything "inflammatory" and to give a good goy message to the reporters.

And while it's easy to say you'd tell them to fuck off, these guys are pros at what they do, can threaten and pressure the family with the full might of the US government, and family members are unlikely to be in the proper mental headspace to push back.

Granted, it could also just be that his father is a liberal gigacuck that didn't need much prompting to fellate niggers.

“Nice surviving twin you got there. Sure would be a shame if CSAM was found on his phone, eh?”

I can already see the netflix adaptation

Let's see if the sequel might involve Hispanics as well.

This honestly explains so much.
I remember being discussed with Molly Tibet's father, but I hadn't considered that an arm of the regime had coerced him into it.

LMFAO really?

It's during the day of the rope

It's the FBI Victim Services Division (VSD), as well as local Public Information Officers (PIOs), and they're those kinds of organizations that don't get enough public scrutiny.

And you have to ask yourself how likely it is that the vast, vast majority of White families that had one of their members killed by a nigger in a highly publicized attack, would keep parroting the same antiracist, de-escalatory message.

They're all being shamed/coerced/threatened into toeing the party line.

If a black guy kills a white guy and gets convicted of murder it has to be racism, right?

….right?

What if they’re trying to say as little as possible before the trial? Thats always the best option. If the dad read the TND copypasta to a full set-up news crew, as funny as that would be, it might torpedo the case.

 

[Safir]

It was the same general narrative Did he deserve to die for selling loose cigarettes??? No but he died because he resisted arrested. The cigarettes were not the problem. YOU ARE A RACIST!!!

Wrong thread to say it but they're correct in that. The purpose of the system is what it does. If your system arrests people for random bullshit like selling loose cigarettes, and then some of them don't take it well and resist arrest and die, then it IS killing people for sellng loose cigarettes. If you think this is evil, then the system is evil.

edit: just saw the perp in that case threatened someone with a gun and was arrested for that. Justified, then.

Disclaimer: I don't know how bad selling loose cigarettes is. I personally think people who vandalize trees deserve to be arrested and stochastically shot/strangled. Maybe loose cigs are equally or more harmful. I don't know. I once bought a bottle of whisk(e)y together with two strangers (they were eyeing cheaper spirits, I approached them and offered to buy and split a more expensive gift box), I got the fancy collectable glass that came with it, they got the bottle (and paid me cash). I don't think I deserved to die.

Remember Sydney Wilson, that memeable sheboon who sliced up that chink cop? She definitely deserved to get shot for slicing up a cop, but did she deserve getting the raped in the first place? No she didn't. From cursory googling, she broke no law. A the rapist made the cop go harass her (as part of his job) and get himself sliced up and her shot to death. The cop is innocent, the rapy is evil. Behead the rapists.

 

[who dare wins?]

He’ll get denied the first time he’s up for parole, everyone does. His review date will get set off by the parole board. Next review in a year or 3 years or the max is 5 years before review again I think.

I wonder why this is the case since I assumed it takes time to even get through the parole board and if you are extra good you end up getting let out the first time. Although considering the circumstances his own “brothers” are probably going to make him do all the dirty work at minimum for being so short and young. Always happens with the new ones.

True, and I agree, but far too often you see the family doing the whole "love not hate", "let this not divide us" et al spiel.

I understand not going full TND in front of the cameras, but there's a difference between keeping silent and sucking nigger cock in a public humiliation ritual.

 

[SITHRAK!]

I went to Threads

It’s insane but literally every fact here is wrong as far as I can see.
-Crossed state lines and was supplied with a rifle afterwards.
-Shot three people, killing two.
-Acquitted because it was a clear cut case of justified self defense.
Vs
-Provoked an unnecessary confrontation with someone from a different school.
-Stabbed that person despite no threat of lethal force.
-Convicted of murder by a majority-female multicultural jury.

Lipstick Alley (female-orientated African-American forum) has a thread here and it’s interesting. There are the normal teeth-sucking, lip-smacking das rite types, but a surprisingly high number of them are coming out with “erm actually it was murder and race wasn’t a factor in the verdict.”

Black women posting opinions on social media that go against the groidthink wasn’t on my 2026 bingo card but I’m okay with it.


Damn, upset much, Boon’Quisha?

Unfortunately the low IQ black apologists, who think they’re fighting racism but instead are reinforcing a soft bigotry of no expectations, are a combination of grifters and racists.

Rittenhouse’s self defense was caught on camera.

Also are they going to compare who ran from the scene and who didn’t? How about who had a prosecution that got yelled at by the judge for trying to imply that the defendant choosing not to testify might suggest their guilt?

Nah, the pro blacks aren’t pro facts.

Edit; Do you think the Melotards will tell you how the only blacks that could have been on the jury were teachers and how that might have made them biased? Or how the population demographics would have made a very limited pool of blacks?

Also, how is it not racist to assume that white people being on the jury means that they can’t possibly find a black person innocent? Are they saying white people are incapable by virtue of being white?

Pretty odd since much of the Melotard grifters are guilty whites.

If Karmelo stabbed another black kid, black people wouldn't of given two shits. It's only because he's going to jail for killing a white person, they have to chimp out because they have to get one over whitey. These same people could would a black person stomp a black child to death and they'd just shrug their shoulders and put it down to Nigga Shit.

 

[TJT]

Maybe some will test him if he is really the "icecold Killer" or just someone with low Impulse Control. I Guess in the last case he might be in for some rude experiences to put it mildly.

We don't have a whole lot to go on there as whatever his highschool activities were they weren't discussed. Outside of a few insta posts of him and his dumbass friends acting like thugs.

With that in mind it all points to Knifemelo wanting to act all hard and thinking he was. But because he's a jogger this didn't manifest in him just punching someone in the face and getting into a fight like many young men do as teenagers. I did, you probably did, and I think most young men get into some kind of fight however big or small at least once in their adolescence. But no, joggers can't abide by that because you can lose a fist fight when you aren't sucker punching someone who doesn't even know you're there. Austin Metcalf died largely because he never expected to be shanked and didn't even try to protect himself because he never saw it coming. He was prepared for a fist fight and would have won if noodle arm Knifemelo just punched him.

You can even do the whole 'dont be racist' thing and not cuck too.

'There are some people trying to make this about race. It isn't. It's about that piece of shit having stabbed my son. He's a murdering psychopath and deserves the chair. Fuck that kid and fuck his supporters.'

Per Capita means that if parents said that then too many people might start noticing patterns. You toe the line or you don't talk.

 

[Mayoush]

I can't believe this nigger chimped out because he was told to leave peacefully many times and his family isn't poor either around blacks never relax

Black women are generally disappointed in black men, which is why he have multiple movements (off the top of my head I can think of swirlies and sprinkle sprinkle ladies) within black female culture that advise them to be extremely picky about who they choose to date, marry, and have children with.

 

[Pierre D'Olnique]

It would've been nice if the past 100 pages had archives of the Metcalf family press conference and less "TND" every damn page. I get it you hate joggers, but this was supposed to cover the case and it's proceedings and instead it's just wading through sperg outs with minimal info sprinkled in. It's a shit sundae.

not my problem
stop being a broke bitch

TOTAL NIGGER DEATH by the way
