On June 9, Karmelo Anthony, 19, was convicted of murder and sentenced to 35 years in prison.

He was found guilty in the April 2, 2025, fatal stabbing of 17-year-old Austin Metcalf, a track athlete from a rival high school, during a Frisco Independent School District track meet in Frisco, Texas. Anthony, then a student at Centennial High, stabbed Metcalf in the chest during an altercation.

Anthony’s defense claimed he acted in self-defense, despite Metcalf being unarmed.

The controversial fundraising campaign launched on behalf of Karmelo Anthony has been taken offline following his murder conviction, but the convicted murderer’s family will retain the more than $600,000 raised through the effort as they prepare to appeal the case.

Anthony was convicted Tuesday of murdering 17-year-old Austin Metcalf after a Collin County jury rejected his self-defense claims and sentenced him to 35 years in prison.

Less than 24 hours after the verdict, Anthony’s attorneys filed a notice of appeal, while family members vowed to continue fighting the conviction.

Most people with at least half a brain understand that what Karmelo Anthony did is legally defined as murder. This has nothing to do with the color of his skin. It should also not be controversial to throw convicted murderers in prison. But because this man had a certain skin color, many people with low IQs have a problem with this. And one of those low-IQ losers appears to be allegedly on the hunt for people who were on the jury that convicted the murderer.

It took less than 12 hours for Representative Jasmine Crockett to run her mouth about Karmelo Anthony again. As a reminder, Crockett lost in the Democrat Senate primary and is not currently seeking reelection for a seat in the House of Representatives. President Trump told reporters he likes inflation and had…some kind of explanation as to why he said that? Let’s crunch some numbers. Another day, another list of lies Hasan Piker has to make up to keep his audience engaged. Let’s see what his Communist talking points are today.

Yesterday, I came across a video in which a black man films himself riding down the street on a bicycle, reportedly in Florida, before he pulls over where a white man is sitting on the ground talking to a white woman while they appear to be waiting for a bus. Out of nowhere and without provocation, the black man punches the seated white man in the head, accusing him of being part of the “jury selection” for the Karmelo Anthony trial; he also says to the white man, who is a veteran, “you gonna die.”

Black man in Florida filmed himself in an anti-white, racially motivated attack, “down to 4 crackers na free karmelo” by punching a veteran in the head, all for internet fame. He told the veteran he was going to die after mockingly accusing him of serving on the jury that… pic.twitter.com/Sh7vmYT6ly

Trump was right. Jasmine Crockett is truly one of the most low-IQ members of society — and it might not even be close.

Crockett said her heart breaks for the Karmelo Anthony verdict. This is because she believes a young man will be sent to prison for 35 years when he has his whole life ahead of him. And no, she did not mention that another young man’s life was forever taken far too early. She was not concerned about the victim or the family.

Per TMZ:

Rep. Crockett doesn’t hold back as she explains why the case hits close to home … and why race and venue played a huge role.

One thing she makes abundantly clear … she doesn’t think Anthony got a fair shake … especially in front of a jury that did not have a single Black juror.

Rep. Crockett feels Anthony’s claim that he was afraid during the fatal confrontation at a high school track meet was largely dismissed … and she questions whether jurors would’ve viewed the situation differently if the races were reversed.

The online fundraiser created for convicted murderer Karmelo Anthony and his family has been taken down after raising nearly $634,000, according to a report.

Anthony was convicted of murder Tuesday and sentenced to 35 years in prison for fatally stabbing 17-year-old Austin Metcalf during a high school track meet in Frisco, Texas.

He has since filed a notice of appeal challenging the conviction.

In appeal documents, Anthony claimed he cannot afford a new attorney, WFAA reported.

A Collin County, Texas, jury found Karmelo Anthony guilty of murder on Tuesday for the fatal stabbing of 17-year-old Austin Metcalf during a high school track meet in Frisco in April 2025. The jury rejected Anthony’s claim that he acted in self-defense.

The jury returned the verdict after roughly three hours of deliberation. Reports indicate the jurors did not opt for a lesser manslaughter conviction.

The New York Post provided a brief recap of the events that led to Metcalf’s death:

The violent confrontation erupted in the bleachers of Kuykendall Stadium when Anthony refused to leave the tent reserved for the Memorial High School track team during a rain delay.

Anthony was repeatedly asked to leave the tent multiple times, and Metcalf began to argue with him.

The argument escalated further when Anthony said to Metcalf “touch me and see what happens,” while keeping his hand hidden in his backpack, implying that he had a weapon, according to FOX4.

Metcalf pushed him and Anthony fatally stabbed him in the chest with a knife.

Witnesses for the state testified that Anthony acted as the aggressor.

Anthony was caught on video stating, “I’m not alleged, I did it.”

“He put his hands on me.”

Karmelo Anthony has been found guilty of first degree murder in the fatal stabbing of Austin Metcalf during a high school track meet in Frisco, Texas, last year. The Collin County jury reached the verdict Tuesday afternoon, rejecting Anthony’s claim of self-defense after deliberating for less than three hours.

An angry mob of Anthony supporters gathered outside the courthouse, chanting “we want justice!”

Fights broke out, with police swiftly making arrests to keep the peace.

“Deputies have made their presence clear, that they’re not going to tolerate any form of chaos,” Fox News reported.
