The teenager accused of fatally stabbing Austin Metcalf and leaving him to die in his twin brother’s arms at a high school track meet allegedly admitted to the senseless killing — but claimed it was in self defense.
“I’m not alleged, I did it,” 17-year-old Karmelo Anthony chillingly told police in Frisco, Texas as he was being arrested at Kuykendall Stadium, according to an arrest warrant obtained by NBC DFW.
The horrific stabbing was sparked when Anthony, who was sitting under another team’s pop up tent as it rained Wednesday morning, was asked by Metcalf to move — and Anthony refused, according to the arrest report.
Anthony then unzipped a bag, reached inside and told Metcalf, who he’d never met before, “Touch me and see what happens,” a witness told police, according to the document.

Stab to the heart sounds like an execution to kill..just sayin
HE WAS SITTING UNDER THE OTHER TEAMS TENT.......
NOT HIS TERRITORY TO USE.....
BELLIGERENT TO THE CORE.....
TRY TELLING THE NATION THAT ANYONE WHO “SEEKS SHELTER” CAN COME INTO THEIR HOUSE-—
SEE WHAT ANSWERS YOU GET.
BLACK KID WAS WHERE HE SHOULDN’T HAVE BEEN -—THEN HE TAUNTED THE WHITE KID.
THAT is A WHOLE ‘NOTHER STORY
AN ‘HONOR STUDENT’ BY TODAY’S STANDARDS is NOTHING TO BRAG ABOUT.
THE A or B today is D or E or even an F by prior standards.
Turn your caps lock off.
The assailant had an altercation earlier in the day with the victim. He brought a knife, entered a space where he didn't belong with intent to incite/rekindle the earlier fight. It's not self defense if you bring a weapon and incite a fight to employ the weapon. There was intent, premeditation in coming (illegally) armed, motive to act. The prosecution is going to have a pretty solid case.
🔝🔝
Puh-leeze.
By the time this goes to trial, I wouldn’t be surprised if white hoods, a burning cross and a parade of honkies calling the murderer the ‘n word’ will be alleged by him and/or his dream legal team that made him react the way he did.
The statement of the surviving twin; "We asked him to move."
Do you think they asked him? Or did they TELL him to move?
Do you think they said "Pretty please?". Or did they say, "Move your black ass or we're gonna pound you into the ground?"
Just as assault does not automatically justify use of deadly force, trespassing does not automatically justify assault.
When my husband ws in elementary school in Ga, he and his male classmates would bring their shotguns to school and put them in the corner of their class so they could go hunting after school to help provide food for their families.
In my high school, the guys all had their hunting rifles on a gun rack on the back window of their trucks.
Of course, one big demographic was missing......
He's going to be using that line a lot in prison.
And they're going to be touching him, all right.
A lot. Bad touching.
People shouldn't put their hands on other people unless necessary, but there is a thing called "proportionality."
The "dead boy" may have committed an offense, but the reaction was neither rational, predictable, or acceptable.
Unless it is in a dark alley or with angry people confronting you en masse, stabbing someone who put their hands on you is a bridge too far even if you don't actually stab them in the chest.
This nasty piece of sh*t needs to be killed and his body should be thrown into a furnace.
This nasty piece of sh*t needs to be killed and his body should be thrown into a furnace.
Skip the former and do the latter.
13 would probably get tried as an adult.
Best part, at 18 he’ll go to big boy prison.
He should get the death penalty. The tax payers should *NOT* be sentenced to life in prison for an oxygen thief.
If you were in the opponent's tent, is it *YOUR* ground, or is it theirs?
Do teams not have a right to keep their tents free of opponents?
If *YOU* are in the wrong place, why shouldn't you be forced to move?
I think your question may be quite relevant at trial.
Also relevant would be issues of “reasonable force” and “disparate force”.
Ask yourself the question, “What would a female police officer do if similarly assaulted by those twins?” Do you give her the chair?
Also relevant is whether there was an opportunity to retreat from the assault.
I don’t think “stand your ground” issues matter if retreat is not an option.
A lot will come down to what choices did people have at various instances of time and what choices they made.
“”People shouldn’t put their hands on other people unless necessary, but there is a thing called “proportionality.”

Saw the twin on Newsmax and according to him, his mother approached the interloper and asked him to leave the tent... at which point the interloper apparently got verbally aggressive. If someone like that (looking for a fight, apparently) had responded to MY mother in any way other than with respect, I’d have tackled them myself... and I’m only 5’2” and a female... with a really bad temper.
