The father of a Texas high schooler who allegedly stabbed and killed another teenager at a track meet has defended his son, pointing out that his son "didn't start it" and is a "good kid".

"Everyone has already made their assumptions about my son, but he's not what they're making him out to be," Andrew Anthony, the father of 17-year-old Karmelo Anthony, told the New York Post. "He's a good kid. He works two jobs. He's an A student, has a 3.7 GPA."
