Defense Attorneys for Teen Accused in Texas Track Meet Stabbing Make Startling Claim

FRISCO, Texas — The legal team representing hood rat Karmelo Anthony, the 17-year-old high school senior charged with fatally stabbing fellow student Austin Metcalf at a track meet last week, has introduced a surprising new development in the case. The incident, which occurred on April 2, 2025, at Kuykendall Stadium in Frisco, has gripped the local community and drawn national attention due to the tragic loss of a promising young athlete.

According to a statement released on April 8, 2025, by attorneys Billy Clark and Kim T. Cole, the defense is seeking to have the murder charge against Anthony downgraded, arguing that the circumstances surrounding the altercation warrant a reevaluation. The lawyers assert that their client acted in self-defense during a confrontation with Metcalf, a 17-year-old junior at Frisco Memorial High School, who was fatally stabbed in the chest. While the specific "shocking new revelation" hinted at in court filings remains under wraps pending further proceedings, sources close to the case suggest it could involve previously undisclosed witness testimony or evidence challenging the prosecution’s narrative.

The legal team also announced plans to collaborate with the Collin County District Attorney’s Office to negotiate a “better determination” of the charge, while simultaneously requesting a reduction of Anthony’s $1 million bond, which they deem excessive. “Karmelo, like all citizens of the United States, is entitled to a fair and impartial legal process,” Clark and Cole stated. “We are committed to ensuring that Karmelo’s rights are protected throughout each phase of the criminal justice system.”

The stabbing took place during a University Interscholastic League District 11-5A track meet, escalating from a verbal dispute over seating under a team tent amid rainy conditions. Witnesses reported that Metcalf asked Anthony, a student from Frisco Centennial High School, to leave the Memorial High School tent, leading to a heated exchange. According to police reports, Anthony allegedly pulled a knife from his bag and stabbed Metcalf once before fleeing the scene. The weapon was later recovered in the stadium bleachers, and Anthony was arrested shortly after, reportedly admitting to the act while claiming self-defense.

Metcalf, a standout athlete in both track and football, succumbed to his injuries despite efforts by his twin brother, Hunter, and first responders to save him. The tragedy has left the Frisco community reeling, with an outpouring of grief from family, friends, and classmates. Meanwhile, Anthony’s family has raised over $150,000 through an online fundraiser to support his defense, insisting that the public narrative surrounding the incident is “false, unjust, and harmful.”

As of today, April 8, 2025, the case remains in its early stages, with no official court date set for the bond reduction hearing or further proceedings. The Frisco Police Department continues its investigation, urging the public to refrain from spreading misinformation amid heightened social media speculation. Legal experts anticipate that the defense’s new revelation—once fully disclosed—could significantly shape the trajectory of this high-profile case, raising questions about accountability, self-defense, and justice in a community still mourning a devastating loss. 17GEN4.com
