Karmelo Anthony gets 35 years for track meet stabbing murder
Jurors rejected Anthony’s self-defense claim after hearing video, 911 calls and autopsy evidence, then began deciding whether he will serve 35 years.
- A Texas jury found 19-year-old Karmelo Anthony guilty of murdering 17-year-old Austin Metcalf in a fatal stabbing at a high school track meet in 2025. Anthony had argued he acted in self-defense, but jurors rejected that claim.
- After a trial that drew national attention, jurors convicted Anthony of murder and later sentenced him to 35 years in prison for the death of Metcalf, who was stabbed during an altercation at a Frisco, Texas, track meet.
- The verdict came after several days of testimony about the confrontation between the two teenagers. Prosecutors described the stabbing as an unjustified attack, while the defense maintained Anthony feared for his safety and acted in self-defense.
