On April 3, tragedy struck during a high school track meet in
Frisco when Memorial High School
student Austin Metcalf was fatally stabbed.
The incident occurred after a confrontation
with 17-year-old Karmelo Anthony,
who was taking shelter from the rain in a team tent.
When Austin asked him to leave, tensions escalated into violence.
Karmelo has claimed he acted
in self-defense when the situation spiraled out of control.
He is currently being held on a
$1 million bond and has been charged with murder.
Austin’s death has deeply impacted the community.
His family launched a GoFundMe
campaign to help with expenses and honor his memory.
He was remembered as
a promising student-athlete with a bright future.
Both families have asked
for privacy and support as the case moves through the legal system. Th
