Teen Stabbed at Mount Pleasant Track Meet
- Karmelo Anthony, an 18-year-old student from Frisco Centennial High School, is expected to receive his diploma and graduate despite facing murder charges related to a stabbing incident at a track meet on April 2.
- The stabbing of 17-year-old Austin Metcalf, a Frisco Memorial High student athlete, led to Anthony's arrest, bond reduction, and house arrest while charges proceed.
- Next Generation Action Network, representing Anthony's family, confirmed his academic credits are complete but stated he will not participate in graduation ceremonies due to a district policy excluding serious offenders.
- Dominique Alexander, president of the Next Generation Action Network, affirmed that Anthony’s academic progress will remain intact, while the Frisco ISD leadership clarified that reports of Anthony participating in the graduation ceremony are inaccurate and stem from misinformation circulating through media and social platforms.
- The agreement to graduate Anthony with full credit reflects adherence to academic policies but does not imply district support of the ongoing legal case involving serious criminal conduct.
