Karmelo Anthony, a 19-year-old, was convicted of first-degree murder in the death of 17-year-old Austin Metcalf on June 9, 2026. The case gained national attention after Metcalf was fatally stabbed during a confrontation at a high school track meet in Frisco, Texas, in April 2025. Anthony's defense argued he acted in self-defense, but the jury unanimously found him guilty after three hours of deliberation. Since he was a minor at the time of the crime, Texas law prohibits the death penalty or life without parole.
