Newly released videos and photos detail the events surrounding Karmelo Anthony's stabbing of Austin Metcalf during a confrontation at a Texas high school track meet on April 2, 2025. The Collin County court released the footage following Anthony's first-degree murder conviction earlier this month. One video shows Anthony fleeing the scene after the stabbing, while another captures him being taken into custody shortly thereafter.
Images released include evidence from the trial, such as a blood-soaked jacket and the knife used in the stabbing. The body camera footage from responding officers reveals Anthony's statements following his arrest, where he claimed self-defense during the confrontation with Metcalf and his brother.
During the 911 call made after the incident, a witness reported that Metcalf was unconscious and not breathing, while others attempted to provide aid. Anthony was sentenced to 35 years in prison, with eligibility for parole after serving half of his sentence. The release of the trial exhibits aims to provide transparency regarding the case, as stated by Collin County District Judge John Roach.
