Karmelo Anthony’s family is seeking to raise $250,000 for his murder appeal through a new GiveSendGo fundraising campaign. Anthony, 19, is appealing a case involving the fatal stabbing of 17-year-old Austin Metcalf during a high school track meet in Frisco, Texas.
Outlets report that the new appeal drive follows an earlier fundraiser that brought in nearly $634,000. Fox News and Breitbart note that questions and scrutiny have been raised about how the earlier campaign money was used and whether spending aligned with the fundraiser’s stated purpose. The specific nature of the questions is described generally, with some focus on the amount raised and subsequent spending concerns.
While Fox News frames the story around both the new fundraising target and the unanswered spending questions from the prior campaign, Breitbart similarly highlights the fundraising effort and the existence of controversy. Yahoo News includes the same core development but does not add distinct details in the provided material.
