During a poignant graduation ceremony at Memorial High School in Frisco, Texas, Hunter Metcalf accepted his own diploma and a posthumous diploma for his twin brother, Austin Metcalf, who tragically died after a stabbing incident at a track meet. The event took place on Thursday night at the Comerica Center, where Hunter, dressed in black and gold regalia, received a standing ovation from the audience. Hunter graduated Cum Laude, achieving a weighted GPA of 4.0 or above. Austin Metcalf was killed on April 2, 2025, during a violent altercation at a high school track and field championship. He confronted Karmelo Anthony, a senior from Centennial High School, who was sitting in the wrong section. The confrontation escalated, resulting in Anthony allegedly stabbing Austin in the chest. Following the incident, Anthony fled, leaving Austin to die in Hunter's arms. A jury trial for Anthony is scheduled for June 1, where he faces a sentence of 5 to 99 years if found guilty, but he is not eligible for the death penalty due to his age at the time of the crime. Jeff Metcalf, Austin's father, has publicly condemned Anthony since his release on house arrest.
