Jasmine Crockett, Cardi B Defend Karmelo Anthony as Case Sparks US Divide

The jury found Anthony guilty after hearing witness testimony, video evidence and expert analysis, and he now faces five years to life in prison.

  • On June 9, 2026, a Collin County jury convicted Karmelo Anthony of murdering 17-year-old Austin Metcalf at a Frisco, Texas track meet on April 2, 2025. Anthony now faces between five years and life in prison.
  • Witnesses described Anthony refusing to leave a rival school's tent during a rain delay before the escalation. He reached into his bag, dared Metcalf to touch him, and after a shove, pulled a knife and stabbed Metcalf once in the chest, piercing his heart.
  • Prosecutors struck potential black jurors for professional reasons, resulting in no black jurors seated despite defense challenges. The jury rejected Anthony's claims of bias after hearing testimony from over 20 witnesses, video evidence, and medical experts.
  • Op-Ed contributor Chantal Monique Duson argued that Christians must reject tribal thinking about the case, stating true justice requires evaluating evidence without regard to identity politics or socioeconomic status.
  • Duson urged believers to support systems that punish wrongdoing without partiality, noting this case reminds us that earthly justice is imperfect and provisional, demanding a higher standard from Christians.
