A Texas teenager, Karmelo Anthony, is set to go on trial this week on accusations that he fatally stabbed 17-year-old high school football star Austin Metcalf in Frisco, Texas. Multiple reports say the case concerns Anthony’s alleged attack on Metcalf, a student athlete. One outlet notes that jury selection is scheduled to begin, with the trial expected to follow.
The reports also describe donations Anthony received after the killing. One article states Anthony raised about $600,000 in donations, which it ties to the period following the fatal stabbing. The same report also references Metcalf’s family, including that Metcalf’s twin brother recently accepted a diploma on his behalf.
The outlets provide overlapping basic details about the alleged stabbing, the defendant’s identity, the location, and the planned timing of the trial proceedings, but they do not provide additional case facts beyond these points. The allegations have not been tested in court.
