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.'

How about 999.9 years?
Good
Justice in the conviction at least
That was quick
DON’T STOP! In fact go after that whole sick family.
I want to remind everyone here they attack the Metcalf family in the last year. The Metcalf family was Swatted no less that 6 times.
I’m so happy for this verdict and I want to celebrate. Mr. Metcalf is getting justice.
Yikes.
He will be on parole in less than five years.
Prisoners of love, blue skies above

Prisoners of love, our turtle dove
Soon coming ‘round with bail
Oh you can lock us up and lose the key
But hearts in love are always free!
Prisoners of love, blue skies above
‘Cause we’re still prisoners
We’re still prisoners
We’re still prisoners of love
Family already spent the 800k..
Those Cars will be Carjacked in their new neighborhood
ABT and other white cars are strong in the Texas system
But he’ll be in ADMIN SEG for the foreseeable future folks
They can get him in there kamikaze style
We’ll see
Court TV had an image up that made the murder look like the sad victim and the murdered slightly evil.
Agree. They should all be too tired from hard labor breaking rocks with sledgehammers all day to rape anybody.
All the would be black jury members kept saying dumb shit like “we can’t sent a black boy to prison for life”. So they were not put on a jury.
Two days ago.🙄
Justice is done.
Thanks for posting, Romulus.
I agree with you.
OK What kind of psych meds was Karmelo on? Going by his sad sack face I say anti-depressives.
I doubt he will get the full 99 years.
Probably fifty...................
You mean “Show me the Benjamins” Crump?............
Prison rape when forced is the province of black prisoners upon others
Whomever they can get but they prefer white twinks
At least in the federal system that’s the skinny
It’s pretty much forbidden in white and Mexican cars
The Brand and La Eme usually kill members over it
Austins’ family is going to be crying for the rest of their lives. At least Karmelo’s family can visit his ass in prison, Austin’s family has to go to the CEMETERY to see him, so yeah whats worse. Give this prick the maximum, life in prison, NO parole, he made his decision..he came that day wanting to kill someone and that is what he did
