The mother of Austin Metcalf delivered a deeply emotional statement in court as the teenager convicted in his killing appeared for sentencing. The case, which drew widespread attention in Texas, ended after a jury found 19-year-old Karmelo Anthony guilty of murder in connection with the fatal stabbing of 17-year-old Austin Metcalf.
Anthony was sentenced on June 10 to 35 years in prison. The incident occurred in April 2025 during a high school track meet in Frisco, Texas—an event that was meant to be routine but turned into a tragedy that shocked the local community.
