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.

Because Jeff said some really cucked shit after his son was murdered. Something like "don't be racist guys!" or whatever.

His son was literally murdered and the day OF he went on national television and harangued the "racists" who were the real problem and not the nigger who stabbed his son. He forgave him. He had no forgiveness for those who would talk about his sons death in a less than preferential tone towards the nigger who murdered him.

 

[TyrasGuard]

Okay I must have missed something because last I checked, people were universally against Austin's father, all saying shit like this:

Because Jeff said some really cucked shit after his son was murdered. Something like "don't be racist guys!" or whatever. If he was gagged and didn't want to harm the case, why didn't he just stay silent, instead of making people think he was a paint sniffing retard for a year? How am I supposed to take this seriously?

I'm trying to find Jeff's initial statements right after Austin's murder, but all searches just lead to the new news. Can anyone post it?

It's a Mister Metokur stream but here it is. The father desperately trying not to make it about race.

I agree with the Cancerman that his behaviour was completely fucking repugnant then.

 

[30+GameOvers]

Yeah, this is why I said, how am I supposed to take this seriously? You really believe that was a strategic move? You really buy into the 4D chess meme? It would be more understandable to just blame it on grief, and the father not knowing the right thing to say. But if his judgement, even in such a trying time, is so poor, then again, how am I supposed to take this seriously?

You aren't, people who are doing a 180 on him because he said the no-no naughty word are retarded and are just as impulsive as the niggers on the other end. Truth is that this man is a cuck, he is a disgrace and I would not be surprised if his wife divorces him to avoid further controversy, between him forgiving the parents of the man who killed his son and now this.

 

[Scientifically Inaccurate]

None of the "respect the family's wishes!" people that pop out of the woodwork every time are going to respect his wishes of calling him watermelon felon.

With parents like these who needs enemies.

I almost feel bad for him..Almost..

They got life changing money and used it fraudulently to end up in a life changing amount of debt. Now they're going to get to work lowering the property value of the house before they've even paid it off.

I just hope it actually bites them in the ass and they don't coast through life with the mindset payments are for white people.

He had no forgiveness for those who would talk about his sons death in a less than preferential tone towards the nigger who murdered him.

Ask yourself this: if he went on national TV and called Karmelo a nigger, would Karmelo have gotten more time or less time?

He acted like a cuck because society is cucked. At the very least you have to say he came to his senses at the end of this, so should we really hold it against him? Unfortunately that is the reality of what had to happen so that Karmelo would get the absolute most time from a jury.

Maybe it was an act, maybe it him wanting to extend an olive branch to feral animals, who can say, but he has a better understanding of what niggers are truly like now with a greater understanding than you or I and is speaking out now that Karmelo is behind bars for the next 20 years at least.

 

[Wodanaz]

and I would not be surprised if his wife divorces him to avoid further controversy

Yeah I would expect that, after such a bizarre set of events.
Just don't say anything, and then call him a freak who deserves the death penalty after he gets convicted. Why was that so hard for him?

He acted like a cuck because society is cucked.

So is society not cucked anymore, a mere year after the incident? Or did he just lose his mind and start going on a racist tirade for no reason, because society is still cucked?
Yes, I think we should hold it against people when they act like retarded faggots, especially when the topic is literally the murder of their sons. This entire website is basically just holding shit against people.

Again, how am I supposed to take this seriously? Throw a stone at any right wing grifter, they're saying similar shit on a daily basis. Am I seriously supposed to forgive and forget with these retards?

I think they were already divorced before Austin Metcalf was murdered.

 

[Lord Of Shit]

Actually, that makes me wonder. If you are in a bad part of town, and a group of black youths are running up on you… do you think they would still rob you if you striped buck ass naked and stretched out your asshole like Goatse level?

Only one way to find out, I guess...

I did once see a video of a white guy and a black guy about to fight, in which the white strips off his shirt, and the black does the same as they're walking up on one another, then the white guy takes off his pants too at which point the black guy instantly does a 180° and walks away as fast as possible as if to say "miss me with that gay shit, nigga".

Damn, I think you may have discovered the ultimate nigger-repellent.

BRB; ordering 15" butt-plug.

 

[ono]

Karmelo's knife wasn't just a $13 Ozark Trail folder that he stole from Walmart, it was an all-in-one burglary tool:

Why else would a nigger without a car be carrying around a knife with a glass-breaker and flashlight? It definitely wasn't just in case he had to rescue people from sinking vehicles, bust babies & puppies out of hot cars, or to lead anyone out of dark & burning buildings.

""""Cleat knife"""" btw

 

[Hooked on phobics]

There’s absolutely model inmates who get their parole denied. Something like 80% have their first denied.

I hope you are right, and he's absolutely far from model. Hope Texas keeps up anti trans shit to keep liberals at bay, to prevent Democrats from freeing him

I was going to say, not a very smart strategy to try in Texas.

Whatever limited number of rational black remain: get a grip on your community.

Counter point, don't. Try some riots, get felonies, and lose your voting rights. I seriously don't mind.

Ask yourself this: if he went on national TV and called Karmelo a nigger, would Karmelo have gotten more time or less time?

Less , thinking otherwise is retarded. That immediately gives defense a much more valid race card.

You are either completely unaware of lawfare, or being bad faith here

I don't LIKE that its like this way, but it generally is.

Maybe that’s what people need to do to take back certain spots. Black people shitting up your cruise ship? Have ten naked dudes outside on the deck stretching out the o-ring.

Niggers trying to rob your store? Post a large image of two white men having gay anal sex on on your store front door.

Niggers moving into your neighborhood? Find those apartment building, stand outside in the parking lot where they can see you through the window, Goatse them. Just hang out there everyday for a week blasting classic music on volume while stretching out your hole.

 

[Sexy Potoo]

Ask yourself this: if he went on national TV and called Karmelo a nigger, would Karmelo have gotten more time or less time?

If he called Karmelo a nigger, the defense would have definitely tried to paint the whole family as Krazy Klosted Klansmen, and argue that Austin charge Karmelo with racist intent.

It very well could have reduced Karmelo's sentence.

 

[Lord Of Shit]

respect the family's wishes

Yeah, that only seems to work in one direction, eh?

 

[Taser Confetti]

I hope you are right, and he's absolutely far from model.

Fresh out of the Marines I worked in a Texas prison. I saw inmates that did deserve to make parole get denied because the Tx Pardon and Parole Board work in mysterious ways. The odds of him becoming a model inmate are virtually zero.

 

[ObeseScreamingBlackMan]

The CRS was still like 8 months away from being dissolved when Karmelo had his nigger moment.

I'm sure the glowies had gotten to Mr Metcalf when he was saying racism was the real problem or whatever.

 

[Jose Beaner Luna]

Austin’s dad finally went scorched earth on a livestream. Called out Karmelo’s parents and referred to him as a “Watermelon Felon.” Stream is linked in the article. He really is based

Boomers will only get radicalized when something directly affects them, is a shame it had to take the death of his son and being publicly flayed for being a faggot.

 

[ono]

They also slipped in the lie that Austin was a bully in an obvious attempt to justify Karmelo murdering him.

Of course they do, even though Karmelo was the one that said "Touch me and see what happens" while reaching into his backpack. And multiple witnesses verified this.

And, nevermind that Karmelo initially confessed to the police officer, but then instead of doing the honorable thing of a guilty plea, did the most nigger thing imaginable and plead not guilty. He deserves his punishment for that, there is a reason why opening with a guilty plea is desirable for a reduced punishment. But that requires humility and niggers, like other honorless shitskins, have insane hubris and an inability to express empathy.

I certainly hope so.

He didn't want to fuck up the court case by giving the caramello family ammunition to use against him and potentially taint jurors.

As a father I'd have kept my mouth shut too until after the trial.

All the more reason I hate people giving him shit. Hes been through hell most of us can't understand
