A School Fight Turned Deadly
The fatal incident occurred on April 2 at David Kuykendall Stadium during a high school track and field event. According to reports, a dispute began when Anthony was asked to move from a section reserved for students from Frisco Memorial High School, where the victim Austin Metcalf was a student.
What started as a verbal exchange reportedly escalated into a physical confrontation. During the altercation, Anthony allegedly pulled out a knife and stabbed Metcalf in the chest. The victim was rushed to a hospital with critical injuries but later died.
Suspect Arrested and Charged with First-Degree Murder
Frisco police officers arrested Karmelo Anthony at the scene. He has been charged with first-degree murder and is currently being held without bond.
While Anthony is now at the center of a high-profile case, he had previously been known as a standout student and athlete. A linebacker for the Frisco Memorial High School football team, he was recently named MVP and maintained a 4.0 GPA. Reports also state that he had dreams of playing college football.
Family Responds to Allegations
Andrew Anthony, Karmelo's father, has publicly denied the charges against his son, insisting that Karmelo was not the aggressor in the incident. The investigation is still ongoing, and more details are expected to emerge as the case unfolds.
Online Backlash and Media Reaction
The resurfaced Instagram post has added a new layer of controversy to an already tragic case. Many on social media are questioning how warning signs may have been missed, especially considering the tone and imagery of Anthony's last known public posts.
