A Collin County jury found Karmelo Anthony guilty of murder in the fatal stabbing of 17-year-old Austin Metcalf during a Frisco ISD track meet, bringing an end to a closely watched trial that drew national attention and sparked debate over self-defense, race and school safety.
Anthony, now 19, had been charged in the April 2, 2025, killing of Metcalf at Kuykendall Stadium in Frisco. Prosecutors argued Anthony intentionally stabbed Metcalf during an altercation between the two teenagers, while defense attorneys contended Anthony acted in self-defense.
The jury reached its verdict after hearing testimony from dozens of witnesses over several days, including students who witnessed the confrontation, law enforcement investigators, medical experts and character witnesses called by the defense.
Anthony was arrested shortly after the stabbing and charged with murder. On Tuesday, during closing arguments, Judge John Roach allowed the jury to consider a lesser manslaughter charge.
Prosecutors said Metcalf and Anthony attended different schools and did not know each other before the encounter. Authorities said the confrontation began near a team tent area before Anthony stabbed Metcalf once in the chest.
Metcalf was transported to a hospital, where he later died from his injuries.
The trial now moves to its sentencing phase.
Under a murder guilty verdict, Anthony faces a punishment range of five to 99 years or life in prison. A manslaughter conviction would have carried a sentence of two to 20 years in prison.

>>1518934(OP) This kind of christian behavior has no place at school events. Stabbing should not be allowed at schools. Racist language should not be allowed at schools. These are the kinds of disgusting behavior that christians are learning at christian churches and bringing to schools. If christians want to do these things, christians killing other christians, they need to do them on their own time, at christian places.

It's amazing how the school and no one working there had to show any accountability for this. They just let a bunch of children supervise themselves and now two of them lose their lives and now it's business as usual because there are no more headlines to get out of this.

You ever think one day these trials will stop convicting just to minimize property damages from the resulting chimp outs?

>>1519077 They already do that. Most all black juries don't even convict murderers, but only conservative media mentions it and then just acts like it's not important. The big thing about this court case is that everyone expected Anthony to walk free or get some kind of extremely reduced sentence.
>>1518934(OP) I hate the content of their character.

Karmelo was really good at running on his track team. Then he murdered the team Captain on the opposing team.
Once Karmelo hits Gen Pop, Karmelo will have to run fast to keep his Prison Pocket in shape. He'll be Kentucky Fried F*cked. This wasn't a controversial case, he's 100% cooked on murder 1.

>>1519098 but he's black so he should've been allowed 1 stabbing because of systematic racism and what not. amirite? oh and he should be allowed to stab one of the people who crowdfunded for him if they're willing to waste money to support a murderer they should be willing to lose a pound of flesh as well
