Karmelo Anthony, 19, is convicted in Texas of the murder of 17-year-old Austin Metcalf and is sentenced to 35 years in prison, according to reports. Following the conviction, an online fundraising effort associated with Anthony on the GiveSendGo platform draws significant attention. One outlet reports the GiveSendGo campaign page is unpublished shortly after the verdict, with the site showing that the campaign is no longer publicly listed. Despite this, other coverage says donations continue to come in through the same official fund and that the total has surpassed $627,000 soon after the conviction. Hindustan Times reports the fundraiser keeps raising money and sets a goal of $1.39 million, aiming to reach that target amid backlash over the conviction. Across the reports, the fundraiser’s status changes after the verdict—unpublished at one point—while the reported donation totals indicate continued financial activity. The accounts collectively describe a rapid influx of contributions after the jury’s decision and a fundraising target that remains publicly stated in at least some contexts.
