Karmelo Anthony, 19, received a 35-year sentence on June 10, 2026, for first-degree murder in the April 2025 stabbing death of 17-year-old Austin Metcalf at a Frisco track meet. Witnesses said Anthony warned Metcalf before pulling a knife and stabbing him in the chest after a push, with prosecutors calling it a sneak attack and the defense claiming self-defense fear. Controversial commentator Charleston White, who first backed Metcalf’s family, now pledges $75,000 and aims to raise $1 million more, criticizing the trial as unfair while drawing sharp online backlash. Anthony has appealed and faces parole eligibility after 17.5 years, as Metcalf’s family grieves their irreplaceable loss.
