The attorneys representing high school senior Karmelo Anthony in the murder case of Austin Metcalf are seeking to have the charge downgraded and the excessive $1 million bond reduced. They are working with the Collin County District Attorney’s Office to seek a ‘better determination’ of the filed charge. The attorneys emphasize that Anthony is entitled to a fair legal process and offer condolences to the Metcalf family.
Authorities in Frisco have had to deny rumors surrounding Metcalf’s killing, including false information claiming he died of a drug overdose. These rumors led to misinformation being spread on social media. Police have initiated an investigation into the source of this misinformation.
According to police reports, the altercation between Anthony and Metcalf occurred during a track meet when Metcalf confronted Anthony about sitting in the wrong chair. The argument escalated, leading to Anthony fatally stabbing Metcalf in the chest. Metcalf died in his twin brother’s arms, who described holding his brother as he passed away.
Anthony, also a star athlete, has claimed self-defense in the case. His attorney stated that they need to investigate further to determine the facts of the case. The community is mourning the loss of Metcalf, a junior star football player with plans to become a college athlete. An investigation is ongoing to determine the events that led to this tragic incident.
