Following Karmelo Anthony’s conviction for the murder of 17-year-old Austin Metcalf and a 35-year prison sentence, online donations connected to Anthony continue to accumulate even as the campaign faces scrutiny. Multiple outlets report that a GiveSendGo fundraiser was raising funds shortly after the verdict, with amounts reported around $627,000 and about $634,000 before the campaign was removed or unpublished. One report says the fundraising page was unpublished on the day after the conviction, with the platform indicating the campaign was no longer active. Other reporting describes the family’s stated fundraising aims as “pre-trial needs,” with a target figure around $1.3 million to $1.39 million, including a goal reported as $1.39 million. Despite the campaign being shut down or unpublished, at least one outlet says the family is able to keep roughly $600,000 to support moving and living expenses. Across coverage, the common elements are the continued receipt of donations in the immediate aftermath of the conviction, the later removal/unpublishing of the page, and the family’s continued public response.
