A tragic incident occurred on April 2, 2025, in Frisco, Texas, where 17-year-old Austin Metcalf was fatally stabbed during a track and field event. According to witnesses, the incident began when Austin asked Karmelo Anthony, also 17, to leave his team’s tent. Karmelo, a student at Centennial High School, became angry and threatened Austin, saying, “Touch me and see what happens.” When Austin touched and pushed him, Karmelo pulled a knife from his backpack and stabbed him in the chest. Austin died in the arms of his twin brother, Hunter, before emergency services arrived.
Karmelo was arrested and charged with first-degree murder, with bail set at $1 million. His family launched an online support fund that has raised over $150,000, claiming Karmelo acted in self-defense. They describe him as an excellent student and a football team leader, suggesting that he was a victim of bullying. Meanwhile, Austin’s family is devastated by his loss and is demanding justice.
