Karmelo Anthony convicted of murder in fatal high school track meet stabbing
A Collin County jury found 19-year-old Karmelo Anthony guilty of murder for fatally stabbing 17-year-old Austin Metcalf at a Frisco ISD track meet in 2025.

Jurors convicted Anthony after asking whether they could consider manslaughter, and the verdict spotlights concerns about safety at school sporting events and how courts apply self-defense for teenagers.

Dr. Rita Ded🇺🇦🇵🇸🇻🇪🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️4I'd say it's pretty fair to charge someone with murder if they.. ya know.. murdered someone.
WakeUpCall2You don't stab someone in the heart after you ask them to "touch me and see what happens."
