On April 3, tragedy struck during a high school track meet in Frisco when Memorial High School student Austin Metcalf was fatally stabbed.

The incident occurred after a confrontation with 17-year-old Karmelo Anthony, who was taking shelter from the rain in a team tent. When Austin asked him to leave, tensions escalated into violence.

Karmelo has claimed he acted in self-defense when the situation spiraled out of control. He is currently being held on a $1 million bond and has been charged with murder.

Austin’s death has deeply impacted the community. His family launched a GoFundMe campaign to help with expenses and honor his memory. He was remembered as a promising student-athlete with a bright future.

Both families have asked for privacy and support as the case moves through the legal system. The incident has left a lasting mark on the local community, with many now calling for peace, justice, and healing.
