A Texas jury convicted 19-year-old Karmelo Anthony of murder and sentenced him to 35 years in prison for fatally stabbing 17-year-old track athlete Austin Metcalf during a confrontation at a 2025 high school track meet in Frisco. Prosecutors argued Anthony escalated a dispute by using deadly force after provoking the encounter, while the defense claimed he acted in self-defense; the jury rejected that argument after less than three hours of deliberation.
