A Collin County jury convicted 19-year-old Karmelo Anthony of murder on June 9, 2026, for the fatal stabbing of 17-year-old Austin Metcalf at a Frisco, Texas high school track meet in April 2025, sentencing him to 35 years in prison after rejecting self-defense claims. The case — tried before an all-white jury under Texas laws that allowed the then-17-year-old to be prosecuted as an adult without judicial review — became a flashpoint for national debates over race, juvenile justice, school safety, and the boundaries of self-defense.
