Karmelo Anthony, the 19-year-old accused of first-degree murder in the fatal stabbing of Austin Metcalf at a Frisco Independent School District stadium in April 2025, will spend the next 35 years behind bars. This was after Anthony was found guilty of the crime at the Collin County Courthouse in McKinney, Texas.
Following the verdict, the parents of Austin Metcalf gave their respective statements that were directed at Anthony. Both became emotional at the loss of their son, believing Austin had good things ahead of him had he not been killed.
