The family of Karmelo Anthony, the 17-year-old charged with fatally stabbing a fellow student-athlete during a high school track meet, plans to use donations to finance a new home with bolstered security.

Anthony, who faces a first-degree murder charge for the stabbing death of Austin Metcalf, was released from jail after his bond was reduced from $1 million to $250,000. He is now under house arrest, required to wear an ankle monitor and remain inside his parents' residence.
