Some Articles On The Karmelo Anthony Murder Trial

• "Eyewitness: Karmelo Anthony Was Asked to Leave Opposing Team’s Tent ‘15 Times’ Before Fatal Stabbing"--Breitbart. 

    The witness claims that Memorial students began telling Anthony that his presence under their tent was inappropriate.

    “You probably shouldn’t be here, you need to leave our tent,” the 17-year-old claims his teammates began saying to Anthony.

    The youth, whose identity is protected due to his age, says that Metcalf and other Memorial athletes told Anthony to leave around 15 times.

    “Touch me and find out,” Anthony allegedly replied.

    The teen then claims the arguing persisted for roughly two minutes, culminating with Metcalf giving Anthony a “minor push.” During this time, according to the witness, Anthony had his hands in his bag, which was on his lap. However, the student-athletes assumed Anthony was bluffing.

    After the “minor push,” the witness claims Anthony stabbed Metcalf.

    Anthony then dropped the knife and ran out of the tent and down the stadium steps to the track. 

• "Karmelo Anthony jurors gasp in horror as they're shown never-before-seen photo from brutal stabbing"--Daily Mail. 

    Jury members gasped in horror after being shown never-before-seen photos of Austin Metcalf's heart as Karmelo Anthony's trial continued. 

    Metcalf, 17, was stabbed once in the chest. The knife pierced through his bone in the center of his chest and punctured the right side of his heart, a medical examiner testified on Saturday. 

    Jurors were shown a photo of the 'gapping' two-inch stab wound that 'completely went through the heart wall.' 

• "Karmelo Anthony ‘provoked’ Austin Metcalf before fatal stabbing — self-defense claim shot down in bombshell testimony"--New York Post. 

    Anthony allegedly antagonized Metcalf during the fatal April 2025 confrontation at David Kuykendall Stadium, multiple teen witnesses told the Collin County, Texas courtroom. 

    They recalled Anthony keeping his hands hidden in his backpack until Metcalf shoved his shoulders to try to get Anthony out of their tent – then described the alleged killer pulling out a knife and stabbing the victim.

    A 16-year-old student athlete, who knew Metcalf since middle school, painted a vivid picture of the moments leading up to the bloodshed.

    He said he was sitting under the tent with Metcalf and his other teammates when Anthony waltzed over and took a seat next to him on the bench.

    “Crazy weather, huh?” Anthony bizarrely asked, according to the witness. 

    The Memorial team was instantly confused and told Anthony, a stranger, to leave – but he allegedly refused and became aggressive, the witness claimed.

    “F–k y’all,” Anthony allegedly started saying, the student said, according to Fox 4. Anthony wasn’t yelling, he said under cross-examination.

    “F–k y’all. I’m not going to leave. Y’all are a bunch of p–sies. Y’all not going to do anything.

    “Touch me and see what happens.”

    “I’m not going to fight you,” Metcalf allegedly replied.
