Killer Karmelo Anthony has been found guilty of murder for the fatal stabbing of Austin Metcalf at a Texas high school track meet.
Anthony, now 19, sobbed, and his family burst into tears as the judge read the verdict on Tuesday.
The jury deliberated for less than three hours after the defense and prosecution delivered closing arguments.
Anthony claimed he was acting in self-defense when he stabbed Metcalf, 17, with a folding knife after a heated argument at the high school event in Frisco in April 2025.
The case shocked America, and the discussion surrounding it quickly became racially fraught.
During closing arguments, prosecutors eviscerated Anthony's self-defense claim and encouraged jurors to find him guilty of murder.
'What is important is not motive. It's mindset. Mindset. He took a knife to a track meet,' Collin County First Assistant District Attorney Bill Wirskye said.
'[Anthony] of course, felt empowered that he was going to come out on top of any encounter. You don't get to meet a shove with a stab, especially if you provoke the shove.'
Wirskye added, 'Why didn't he just walk away. He could have left the tent at any time. He didn't. He didn't abandon the encounter.'

Just stop! 😂
Celebration of prison rape is part of the FR culture. It’s disgusting.
now I’ll tell you why I’m racist...
20% is because this PoS killed a white boy.
80% is because of the voices over media you’ll now hear defending him even after the verdict. Those voices are the reason I hold ALL blacks accountable for the actions of their kind...
Wonderful news! I just hope that Dallas doesn’t burn.
they didn’t need to, this was so obviously a case of some thug feeling he got dis-respected and lashing out
Dance of the “Watutsi” begins at dusk.
Karmelo needed OJ’s dream team to beat this rap. His lawyer was awful. That said. I wonder what town BLM plans to burn down? Austin or Houston I bet. Democrat bastions. Blue islands in red Texas.
I doubt there’s any left, the rate they were spending it
Heads are exploding on Court TV.
It’s reassuring to see that the New Black Panthers are such a tiny group.
Oh, boo hoo, Mom. You should have raised a better boy. You’re lucky parents aren’t held responsible for their children’s heinous crimes.
why are at least 1/2 of the black population good people and the other half people you wouldnt trust to feed your cat or even pet it??
His lawyer was a public pretender. His family raised all that money on GiveSendGo and used it all on a new home, cars, and shoes. Not one dime on a good lawyer.
f’ing A.
