A Texas jury finds Karmelo Anthony guilty of murder in the fatal stabbing of 17-year-old Austin Metcalf during an April 2025 encounter at David Kuykendall Stadium in Frisco. During the trial, Metcalf’s testimony says Anthony provoked him during the confrontation, while defense arguments center on self-defense and dispute what led to the fatal attack. Multiple reports describe testimony that Metcalf repeatedly told Anthony he did not want to fight. Other testimony also describes Anthony’s demeanor shortly after the stabbing, including claims that he appeared distraught in the moments afterward. As the case nears sentencing, Anthony’s legal team considers asking the court to allow jurors or the judge to consider a lesser option such as manslaughter rather than first-degree murder. Separate coverage also discusses sentencing possibilities related to “sudden passion,” which could affect the length of any sentence. Protest activity occurs outside the courthouse following the guilty verdict, according to reports.
