US EditionParents of Slain Texas High Schooler Plead with School District Not to Allow Son's Alleged Killer to Graduate
- Karmelo Anthony, an 18-year-old resident of Frisco charged with first-degree murder, is set to receive his diploma from Centennial High School in May 2025, although he will not attend the graduation ceremony.
- Anthony allegedly stabbed Austin Metcalf, a 17-year-old Frisco Memorial High School track star, during an April 2 track meet dispute but claims self-defense amid contested evidence.
- Anthony’s bond was lowered from $1 million to $250,000, and he was released to house arrest while advocacy groups and his legal team negotiated his graduation rights.
- Next Generation Action Network President Dominique Alexander said Anthony’s academic achievements ‘‘will not be disrupted’’ and called this ‘‘a moment of dignity for Karmelo.’’
- Frisco ISD confirmed no student charged with a Title V felony can attend graduation, so Anthony will receive his diploma remotely amid ongoing community tension and petitions.
