Austin Metcalf was attending a track and field championship between other area schools at Kuykendall Stadium in Frisco, Texas, when the fatal attack happened on April 2.


Metcalf, a junior at Frisco ISD’s Memorial High School, was in the stands at the stadium when a confrontation broke out between the teen and 17-year-old Karmelo Anthony.

Hunter, who was born 2 minutes after Austin, rushed to aid his brother but couldn’t save him.


“I tried to whip around as fast as I could,” an emotional Hunter Metcalf told WFAA. “I looked at my brother and I’m not going to talk about the rest. I tried to help him.”


“They were twins, identical twins, and his brother was holding on to him, trying to make it stop bleeding, and he died in his brother’s arms,” Jeff Metcalf recalled.

“I could see all the blood, and I saw where the wound was, and I was very concerned, so I had to find his brother, and we rushed to the hospital. And we prayed, and it’s God’s plan, I don’t understand it, but they weren’t able to save him. This is murder,” Jeff Metcalf said.


The teen was pronounced dead at a local hospital.


“Despite lifesaving measures by police and fire personnel, including CPR and the administration of blood, the (17)-year-old died,” Frisco police said.

The grieving father questioned Anthony’s upbringing and parents as he forgave his son’s alleged killer.


“I’m not trying to judge, but what kind of parents did this child have? What was he taught? He brought a knife to a track meet and he murdered my son by stabbing him in the heart. The guy was in the wrong place and they asked him to move and he bowed up [became angry and aggressive]. This is murder,” Jeff Metcalf said.


“You know what, I already forgive this person. Already. God takes care of things. God is going to take care of me. God is going to take care of my family,” he added.

“We will all remember him for the way he impacted others’ lives.”

The teenager accused of fatally stabbing Austin Metcalf and leaving him to die in his twin brother’s arms at a high school track meet allegedly admitted to the senseless killing — but claimed it was in self defense.


“I’m not alleged, I did it,” 17-year-old Karmelo Anthony chillingly told police in Frisco, Texas as he was being arrested at Kuykendall Stadium, according to an arrest warrant obtained by NBC DFW.


The horrific stabbing was sparked when Anthony, who was sitting under another team’s pop up tent as it rained Wednesday morning, was asked by Metcalf to move — and Anthony refused, according to the arrest report.

Anthony then unzipped a bag, reached inside and told Metcalf, who he’d never met before, “Touch me and see what happens,” a witness told police, according to the document.


Moments later, Metcalf “grabbed Anthony to tell him to move and Anthony pulled out … a black knife and stabbed Austin once in the chest,” police said.

NEW - Breaking Exclusive: Corruption in Karmelo Anthony's Defense and Advocacy
Karmelo Anthony's newly hired attorney, Kim T. Cole, is general counsel to the Next Generation Action Network Foundation. NGAN is a BLM-supporting 501(c)(3) that, based on a full investigation, has brought in six figures, yet has filed a total of only two IRS reports since its inception in 2014. According to federal law, 501(c)(3)s are required to file annual returns of their income and expenses with the Internal Revenue Service. Records also show that the organization received a grant from another entity called "Good Work Dallas" with the same registered address, which can indicate alleged money laundering.They have also repeatedly opened new 501(c) organizations (3 and 4) under slightly different names, and when their status is revoked for lack of financial filing or when pressure is placed on them to file, they start a new entity. This leaves room for money to "disappear." This involves multiple federal EINs, state recognition, and missing entities in between the years that each 501(c) has begun.The fraudulent foundation is run and was founded by Dominique Alexander, Karmelo Anthony's "family advocate" and a known felon with a history of fraud, forgery, corruption woman battery and a conviction for child abuse. Dominique also has a history of provoking violent protesting, arriving at people's private homes to "protest," and intimidating jurors. Dominique was also responsible for the protest in Dallas that ended with Micah Johnson's gunfire and five officers dead. Karmelo Anthony's newly hired attorney, Kim T. Cole, is also Dominique's attorney.In a recent press conference, Dominique Alexander spoke as Karmelo's advocate, stating that the "bond was too high" and defended the argument of "self-defense." He said that Karmelo's family was dealing with "racism and bigotry" (he stated this phrase about a dozen times). When asked about the knife carried by Karmelo, he justified Karmelo's right to hold the knife by comparing his case to Zimmerman and Kyle Rittenhouse. He then told a blatant falsehood and said that Austin Metcalf's brother said in a media interview that Karmelo Anthony told Austin Metcalf, "Don't put your hands on me." Not only were these words never stated, but the arrest report relays that the exact words were, "Put your hands on me and see what happens."This lie served to aggravate protesters, create a narrative to cause more divisiveness, and provoke more inflammatory racist behavior.Photo on left - One of the many mugshots of Dominique Alexander.

The entire 'operation' started and run by Dominick Alexander is just an exact copy of the 'business theft model' of the black GDs, aka Gangster Disciples whose use of 501C3 businesses of numerous 'community programs' that rarely, if ever, produced their stated goals and outcomes for the community & youth.

FBI knows about it. Department of Justice also knows. The BLACK MAFIA runs the Gangster Disciple's business theft model across the entire USA among different black gangs that are organized.
You can read a different, but huge, 2021 Gangster Disciples case here....which lays out everything in detail that Sarah Fields is reporting about NGAN on X on the Frisco TX faction of the BLACK MAFIA.

The Texas teen accused of fatally stabbing a high school football star at a track meet allegedly lives in a $900,000 home with his family inside a luxurious gated community — despite requesting that a judge lower his $1 million bond because of financial difficulties, according to a report.


Karmelo Anthony, 17, is holed up with his family at the pricey home inside the gated community of Richwoods in Frisco, Texas, after he was released from jail Monday on a reduced $250,000 bond for allegedly killing Austin Metcalf earlier this month, the Daily Mail reported.


The home — where rent is estimated to be $3,500 a month — had a white Suburban, a black Acura, and a third sedan in the driveway on Tuesday, according to the outlet.

Richwoods is about a mile from Centennial High School, where Anthony went to school and ran track.


Residents in the gated community were allegedly unaware the family was living at the home until Anthony was released Monday, and have voiced concerns about having the accused killer in their exclusive neighborhood.


“Not good. Not good. I don’t think he should be out,” an anonymous mother in the neighborhood told the Daily Mail.

Another neighbor also told the outlet that Anthony’s family is “not poor” if they live in the gated community.


“They’re not poor people. That’s for sure,” he said.


The home has also been getting flooded with deliveries, allegedly for Anthony, with Amazon trucks being seen making multiple drop-offs at his home, the outlet reported.


“The best thing they can do is move,” said another neighbor. “I think that would be best for everyone.”

Anthony had been locked in Collin County Jail and charged with first-degree murder for allegedly stabbing Metcalf, also 17, in the heart during a fight over a seat at a track meet on April 2.


Anthony allegedly told police he was acting in self-defense, and his family claimed “the narrative being spread is false, unjust, and harmful” on a GiveSendGo.com fundraiser for their legal fees — which has raised more than $440,000 as of Wednesday.

Initially, he was being held on a $1 million bond until a Collin County judge slashed it to $250K and ruled that he may await trial at home with an ankle monitor under 24-hour supervision from his parents or an “adult designee.”


The lowered bond came one week after Anthony’s attorney said they would ask the court to reduce the “excessive” $1 million bond and asked the local district attorney to make “a better determination” of the charges.


The fund, set up to help the teen’s family with legal fees, is also being used to move and hire additional security for him and his family amid the backlash over Metcalf’s death, said his defense attorney, Mike Howard.

“Given that Karmelo has no prior criminal history and given that this young man has not been in any sort of trouble before, $1 million is not necessary,” Howard said.





“This family needs to be able to survive,” he went on. “There’s been a tremendous amount of pressure. I think at this point, living in a gated community, given everything, the safety of their younger children is very warranted. Security details and criminal defense are not cheap.”


However, Collin County First Assistant Prosecutor Bill Wirsky cross-examined the family and asked why they hadn’t used the money raised to pay Anthony’s bond.

“It isn’t as simple as giving a phone call to access it,” Anthony’s parents said, as reported by Fox 4.


They explained that getting the money was difficult, and a chunk of it had gone toward Anthony’s legal defense.
