As a murder charge proceeds, the father of a teenager killed at a school function in Texas speaks out, giving the widely followed case additional emotional weight.
\nAustin Metcalf was fatally stabbed at a Frisco ISD track meet two months ago by Karmelo Anthony, a teenager who has been charged with first-degree murder.<\/p>\n
Following weeks of examining the evidence, a Collin County grand jury formally charged him on Tuesday, June 24, 2025, CBS News reported. At the time of the April 2 incident at Kuykendall Stadium, Karmelo, who is now 18 years old, was 17.<\/p>\n
According to authorities, Austin died as a result of a fight between the two teenagers that turned violent. After being taken into custody that day, Karmelo was later placed under house arrest and freed on a reduced bond. 17-year-olds are prosecuted as adults under Texas law, and a conviction carries a maximum sentence of five years to life in prison.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
