UPDATE 4/11/25 at 7:13pm: The 17yo killer's self defense argument goes out the door when you replace the victim 17-year-old Austin Metcalf with a school authority such as a coach, teacher, security, principal who would have done the same thing as the victim asking the 17yo killer Karmelo Anthony to move to his SCHOOL'S DESIGNATED AREA ON THE BLEACHERS.
Do you really think the 17yo killer Karmelo Anthony would have threatened a school authority figure the same way he did to the victim 17-year-old Austin Metcalf? He said, "Touch me and see what happens." NO my guess is he would not have behaved in the same way to an authority figure.
Next, I also don't believe the 17yo killer Karmelo Anthony would have stabbed an authority figure in the heart after forcing him to move to his SCHOOL'S DESIGNATED AREA ON THE BLEACHERS where he was supposed to be in the first place.
So, word of advice to young people. You don't know who you're dealing with. The killer looked like a normal reasonable high school teen who turned out to be a psychopath. If you find yourself in a situation like this or similar to this, proceed to look for an authority figure and get them to move the student or deal with the student. As tempting as it might be for you to nip what appears to be an innocuous situation in the bud, it's not worth putting yourself in danger.
UPDATE 4/4/25 at 7:21pm: Added video below.
Ha. The family member claims the killer was "defending himself against VIOLENT OFFENDERS." On a Facebook post. The family member also claims "the twin brothers are bullies, tried to take his belongings, broke his phone and stomped on it." WOW. That's a big whopper of a lie. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree as the saying goes.
First of all as I said earlier in this post, the killer showed up to this campus WITH INTENT. This was premeditated. The killer BROUGHT THE WEAPON to school campus. Then the killer DELIBERATELY SAT IN THE WRONG AREA behind the victim. All students knew they should sit on the bleachers behind their school's tent. The killer is not a dummy he knew he was sitting where he should not have been. After the victim asked the killer to move to his school's tent, the killer VERBALLY THREATENED the victim "Touch me and see what happens" instead of just moving when asked. When the victim touched him to move, the killer pulled out his knife he should have never had in school AND STABBED HIM ONE TIME DIRECTLY IN THE HEART.
I hope Frisco police find out if the killer had any beef with the victim or interacted with the victim in the past. OR someone put him up to it.
I hope they try the 17yo killer as an adult. He poses a threat to society in general. (emphasis mine)

I think the killer did this on purpose. This was premeditated. He brought the knife which was the weapon used and stabbed the victim directly in the heart. He instigated this whole scenario sitting in the victim's school's section and then refusing to move when the victim asked him to move to his school's team section on the bleachers. (emphasis mine)

FRISCO, Texas — One student died and another was arrested on a murder charge after a stabbing at a Frisco high school track meet Wednesday morning, police and family members confirmed to WFAA.
The stabbing happened around 10 a.m. at the University Interscholastic League's (UIL) District 11-5A championship track meet, which was being held at the Frisco Independent School District's Kuykendall Stadium.
The victim who died was 17-year-old Austin Metcalf. Family members told WFAA that he was a student athlete at Frisco's Memorial High School. His twin brother Hunter, described him as a peacemaker and was loved by all his friends.
Meghan Metcalf, Austin's mother, said she rushed to the hospital as soon as Hunter called her.
"My son is not here anymore, and I don't understand it," she grieved. "He was the most amazing kid. So smart. He had college football guys looking at him to play in college. His goal was to play in college."
Police said officers had responded around 10 a.m. to an altercation between two students. One of the students was stabbed by the other, according to police. Hunter Metcalf told WFAA that he was there when Austin was stabbed and tried to save his life by stopping the blood.
"I tried to whip around as fast as I could," Hunter said with tears in his eyes. "I looked at my brother and I'm not going to talk about the rest. I tried to help him."
Hunter said he held his brother until first responders started attempting resuscitation.
Frisco police said CPR was performed on the victim, and blood was administered, but Metcalf later died.
"[Austin] did everything for our family," said Hunter. "As a linebacker, he was a stud, and I always tried to fill those shoes and play with him. I had a blast my whole life playing sports with him."
Although Austin was only four minutes older than Hunter, he said, "I always looked up to him. He was a big brother even though we're the same age."
Meghan added, "We just want to make sure that everybody knows how much Austin is still going to be in our lives as far as our memories and our hearts forever. It's going to be really hard."
The suspect, identified by police as Karmelo Anthony, a 17-year-old student at Frisco Centennial High School, was taken into custody on a murder charge. Anthony was transferred from Frisco City Jail to Collin County Jail on Thursday. His bond was set at $1 million, jail records showed.
Anthony played football in the secondary for Centennial and indicated on social media pages that he'd been offered scholarships to play football for several smaller schools.
In an arrest affidavit obtained by WFAA, Anthony confessed to the incident, claiming he was protecting himself.
One witness reportedly told police that Metcalf had told Anthony he would need to move out from under his team's tent, the affidavit stated.
Upon telling him this, the witness told police that Anthony opened his bag and reached inside.
"Touch me and see what happens," Anthony told Metcalf, according to a witness.
Metcalf reportedly then touched Anthony, the witness told a responding officer, and Anthony told Metcalf to punch him and see what would happen.
Soon afterward, the witness said, Metcalf reportedly grabbed Anthony to tell him to move. At which point, the affidavit continues, Anthony reportedly pulled out what the witness recalled as a black knife and stabbed Metcalf once in the chest before running away.
According to the affidavit, the knife Anthony allegedly stabbed Metcalf with was later found in the bleachers at the track. Anthony had reportedly thrown it there following the stabbing.
Frisco school officials had said in an email that an "emergency incident" involving two Frisco ISD students forced the meet to be suspended. The stadium was "immediately secured" and students were sent back to their home campuses, according to officials.
UIL said in a statement that it's "deeply saddened" by the incident and is working to provide assistance.
"UIL is deeply saddened by the tragic incident that took place at the District 11-5A track meet on April 2 at Frisco ISD’s Kuykendall Stadium. UIL staff is in communication with district officials to provide support and assistance during this time," the statement said. “Our thoughts go out to those impacted.”
Frisco school officials sent information about the incident in an email to parents and students of Memorial, Frisco, Centennial, Emerson, Heritage and Independence, Lebanon Trail and Liberty high schools.
A prayer vigil will be held Wednesday evening at Hope Fellowship Church in Frisco, where Austin would attend youth group sessions.
