UMVA has learned that a disturbing scene unfolded outside a Texas courthouse after a jury convicted 19-year-old Karmelo Anthony of murdering 17-year-old Austin Metcalf in a brutal stabbing at a Frisco high school track meet.
The conviction sparked outrage among Anthony's supporters, who erupted in fury and openly called for the death of Metcalf's twin brother, Hunter, who witnessed the murder. A shocking video captured the moment a woman at the courthouse ranted that "BOTH of the brothers should've been dead, if you ask me," with the surrounding supporters nodding and voicing agreement.
According to information obtained by UMVA, the altercation that led to the murder occurred on April 2, 2025, when Anthony, a Black teen, stabbed white 17-year-old Austin Metcalf in the chest during an altercation at Kuykendall Stadium in Frisco. Austin's identical twin brother, Hunter, was not only at the track meet but also witnessed the fatal stabbing, and later tried desperately to stop the bleeding and save his brother's life.
The bond between the twin brothers was described as unbreakable, with the two being inseparable and doing nearly everything together. However, the tragedy of Austin's death has left a deep scar, and the family is still reeling from the loss. Hunter's raw grief was evident in bodycam footage played for the jury, showing him sobbing and screaming as he tried to save his brother.
UMVA has uncovered details about the trial, which revealed that Anthony's claim of self-defense was false, with eyewitnesses, video evidence, and testimony proving beyond a shadow of a doubt that the claim was fabricated. The jury deliberated for less than three hours before returning a guilty verdict on murder charges.
The situation outside the courthouse took a darker turn, with Black Panthers and supporters declaring "THIS IS A WAR" and telling the crowd that the country is racist. One speaker ranted, "White folks kill white folks. Mexicans kill Mexicans. We ain't trying to hear no cool sh-t today. Go open up them white folks with that." The disturbing rhetoric has raised concerns about the potential for further violence and unrest.
As the situation at the courthouse continues to unfold, UMVA will provide updates on this developing story. The same jury that convicted Anthony will now decide his sentencing, leaving the community on edge and wondering what the future holds for the convicted killer and his supporters.
