Update: A Collin County jury Tuesday evening sentenced Karmelo Anthony to 35 years for the murder of Austin Metcalf; he faced 5 years to life in prison.
Original story below…
After less than three hours of deliberation, a jury in Texas found 19-year-old Karmelo Anthony guilty of murder for stabbing high school athlete Austin Metcalf to death at a track meet in Frisco last year.
Anthony reportedly cried as a judge read out his murder conviction on Tuesday following a week-long trial that heard from witnesses who described the attack as unprovoked.
The killer’s mom Kala Hayes also cried as she read a statement to the jury ahead of sentencing, pleading with them to “Please have mercy on my son.”
“He’s my oldest. He’ll always be my baby. I love him very much,” Hayes told jurors, who are weighing a sentence ranging from 5 years to life in prison.
“I know my son, and he’s very sorry for what he did,” she added.
The trial stems from a deadly altercation at an April 2025 track meet in Frisco, where Anthony stabbed Metcalf in the heart with a serrated blade after refusing to leave a pop-up tent when asked to do so.
The New York Post has more:
The violent confrontation erupted in the bleachers of Kuykendall Stadium when Anthony refused to leave the tent reserved for the Memorial High School track team during a rain delay.
Anthony was repeatedly asked to leave the tent multiple times, and Metcalf began to argue with him.
The argument escalated further when Anthony said to Metcalf “touch me and see what happens,” while keeping his hand hidden in his backpack, implying that he had a weapon, according to FOX4.
During the trial, Anthony’s lawyer essentially blamed Metcalf for his own murder, saying, “Austin Metcalf had no legal right to use force to eject Karmelo Anthony from that tent… He had the right to ask him to leave, but he didn’t have any legal right to use force.”
Tempers flared outside the Collin County courthouse in McKinney Tuesday after the verdict was reached, with supporters of Anthony demonstrating and labeling the trial “racist.”
Tuesday’s protests come as Anthony supporters last week stoked racial animus outside the courthouse at the onset of the trial by calling for the death of white people, with one demonstrator loudly proclaiming, “The only good cracker is a dead cracker,” as bystanders agreed with him.
It remains to be seen what sentence Anthony will receive and whether the decision prompts violent protests and riots, as in other high-profile racial cases.

The family should not be allowed to profit off Karmelo’s felonious behavior. There is an already settled body of law known as “Son of Sam laws”, after some criminal of a bygone era. The Anthonys should be immediately stripped of all assets and funds raised by the violent actions of their son.
OBJECTIVE LEGAL ANALYSIS… My pre-verdict legal conclusion was the evidence we know of beyond a reasonable doubt, proves beyond a reasonable doubt, Karmelo Anthony is guilty of 1st or 2nd homicide of Austin Metcalf. Please read my entire post with an objective, open mind to determine how I arrived at the aforementioned conclusion and important ethical and legal facts, as they relate to assault, battery and the common sense, equally applied, reasonable legal guide wires established legislation, case law and prior judicial orders, rulings have placed on the reasonable use of self defense up to deadly force, so you are not the next weeping and gnashing defendant subsequent to a guilty verdict to be deluded stabbing a man dead in heart, in response to one brief, non-lethal shove/push is ethically, legally and constitutionally justified, so through tears and running mascara your Mother doesn’t feel compelled to beg the jury for mercy when you are justly convicted for 1st degree homicide.
First off, legally, objectively speaking, Austin Metcalf did make first illegal physical contact with Karmelo Anthony when he shoved/pushed him and that’s a critical piece of evidence, which set in motion the legally permissible option for Karmelo Anthony reacting in some manner, to some degree, to include some degree of force or deadly force if necessary to stop Austin Metcalf if he continued to advance. A word to the wise, the best option is to retreat to higher ground in such situations, because if by your words and definitely your actions you create a reasonable fear of imminent bodily harm and/or loss of life in another person, you are creating the ethical, legal and constitutional circumstances and justification for the person’s use of self defense up to deadly force to stop the threat you pose to him or her.
So now the jury will need to decide if by the manner and degree of physical contact Austin Metcalf made against Karmelo Anthony first, the resulting reaction of Anthony Karmelo was accompanied by a degree of reasonable fear necessary that it was reasonable to plunge a knife into the beating heart of Austin Metcalf. I definitively conclude all factors considered, the answer is unequivocally a solid no, meaning all factors considered, all factors equal, a reasonable person on the street wouldn’t have considered the brief, non-lethal act of Austin Metcalf to create the degree of fear in Karmelo Anthony, that he would have been reasonably justified in plunging a knife into the body of Austin Metcalf, in the area of a vital organ, the heart.
True, Karmelo Anthony was in the tent where he didn’t belong or wasn’t invited and asked to leave 15 or so times, but that’s not a legal justification for Austin Metcalf to shove/push him first, even with the repeated taunts of Karmelo Anthony to “touch me and see what happens.” Meaning, if a person taunts me to hit him, and I shove/push him first, I have committed a degree of criminal battery, depending how hard I shove/push him and the effect of the push to his body and emotions, and activated the first stage of his legally justified use of self defense up to deadly force to stop the imminent threat he reasonably believes I pose to his limb and/or life, but his legally permitted response is not without limits, for if he responds with deadly force, to one brief, non-lethal shove/push, he must be prepared to make a very persuasive case in a legal and legitimate court of law, that his use of deadly force was reasonable, all factors considered. It would be very difficult for him to make a persuasive case to a judge and/or jury that his use of deadly force was reasonable, in that he was in reasonable fear of harm to limb and/or loss of life when he repeatedly taunted me to strike/touch him. Karmelo Anthony’s entry into the tent area of another team, at most could be considered trespassing if ordered to leave by official law enforcement and he didn’t leave. However, it was a violation of track meet rules, and it is basic common sense not to enter an area designated for another team, as it would be in entering another team’s locker room and then refusing to leave when made aware of the mistake or intentional offense, especially when asked 15 times. In any case, in situations similar to these, that’s where the student tracks down the coach or another adult and the coach or other adult calmly and directly explains the tent policy/rules to the intruder, and politely, calmly, and firmly directs the intruder to depart and if he or she doesn’t, have him or her physically removed by force of security and/or official law enforcement.
Sinful pride played a key role in this case. Unfortunately, Austin Metcalf will never have an opportunity at a redo, but Karmelo Anthony and the rest of us have an opportunity to learn some valuable lessons from this tragic case.
Bailiff, you may take the convicted into the custody of the State prison facility he is assigned. This case is closed. Bang, bang! All rise, you may depart the courtroom!
Anthony was a punk looking for a fight. His life was never threatened, he reacted to being “disrespected” like a punk bitch and then ran away like a coward. Every day kids in grade school put their hands on one another without a second thought. At worst, this would have been just another fist fight or shoving match between students. Hell, even a teacher will grab a student by the arm or use physical force without a second thought. The only reason someone brings a deadly weapon to school is to use it.

Anything less than a life sentence is a travesty of justice.
I would let him go free, and release him into a predominately jewish neighborhood full of jewish children 😉
Fact of business: He and all the black panthers & the nignogs (not the good blacks). Just the nogs aught to be deported to Israel! Let the great & powerful state of gods chosen people deal with Lucifers Children!
Young Silver Back was lucky the Death Penalty wasn’t on the table.
It’s too bad the family can’t stab him & watch as he falls lifeless & dead. Fucking bastards! Karmelos family are also criminals who do dirt every day. You can tell by their behavior.
They only are for their own & don’t show authentic remorse for the faithfully departed.
THEY LIVE WE SLEEP
My comment is “awaiting moderation”?! All I said is I hope he drowns in his own tears. This murdering sack of filth deserves a damn rope!
Some words trip the moderation filter, such as m u r d e r/m*rder.
Thank G-D!! I hope this murdering sack of filth drowns in his own tears. And his parents should give all 600k to Metcalf family before being sent off to person.
Hang the pos. A life for a life.
“Karmelo din du nuffin! Free muh boi!”
