A female CEO has claimed that a teen boy who was fatally stabbed at a track meet in Texas was bullying the 17-year-old accused of killing him. Stephanie Crutchfield, the owner and CEO of several financial help businesses, left the claim on a donation page for Karmelo Anthony, who is charged with the murder of Austin Metcalf, 17, at at the Kuykendall Stadium in Frisco. She wrote: 'Let's get this baby home. I have a young black son as well, and I live in Collin County. This baby was bullied and was defending himself, I know it's more to this story. I'm praying for you and your family. Please let me know how else I can help.'
There is no evidence that Metcalf was bullying Anthony. Police have said Anthony stabbed Metcalf in the heart, killing him, after Metcalf told him he was sitting in the wrong chair at the match between their two schools last week. Crutchfield, who donated $1,000 to Anthony, later doubled down on her support of Anthony, adding: ' NO I don’t agree with what he did, but it’s more to this story!'This kid had a good future ahead of him as well, and he deserves a great defense attorney!'
Anthony's family has claimed in the GiveSendGo donation page that 'the narrative being spread' about Austin's killing is 'false, unjust, and harmful.' 'As a family of faith, we are deeply grateful for all of your support during this trying period. Your prayers and assistance mean more to us now more than ever,' the statement added.The donation page for him has collected more than $170,000 as of Monday afternoon EST.

And a bold faced confession brag from the cold blooded killer.

“ And a bold faced confession brag from the cold blooded killer.”
Didn’t he say it was self defense?
Many thanks!
That was later and he’s LYING!
How can the accused killer get donations. Kyle R was denuded fund raising.
Why did he have a hidden knife in the first place? That was done long before anybody did (or didn’t do) anything to him.
This might have been his “initiation” into a gang: proving he has no conscience.
I sure hope they look at what was going on with him, if only so that people can see the very real dangers that our society (Boasberg’s daughter. cough, cough) may be poo-poohing, and the casualties we cause by it. Two potential casualties in this case - the dead man and the man willing to lose his soul/conscience in order to find what he felt was missing in his life (a dad?)
“That was later and he’s LYING!”
You think he’s honest saying he did it.
But not on why he did it.
Dear old young Mr. Anthony was a WANNABE. He lives in a nice neighborhood, where NO gangs exist. I'm unfamiliar with the schools involved,so I am assuming nothing about them, nor whom the murderer may or may NOT associate with outside of or inside of school; though some of his classmates claimed that he was always looking for a fight; supposedly.
I know someone who sort of knows the family ( at least where they live ), I've seen two of his FB page photos. And unlike many posters here and on other places, I ONLY post the factual knowledge I have and a very few opinions, based on what I have seen from reliable source material.
There are a LOT of outright lies, HOAXES, and crazy assumptions being posted, right now. I just hope that he gets his just desserts/punishment and the the FACTS are finally made known.
In my opinion, based on what I know, he went looking for trouble, instigated it, murdered someone IN COLD BLOOD, and in doing so, ruined many lives, including his own.
He was NOT in any danger, going to that meet, yet he brought a knife with him.
WHO BRINGS A KNIFE TO A TRACK MEET, IN A VERY SAFE PLACE?
This meet took place at a local college's sport venue! This wasn't some prearranged, old fashioned gang fight ( "rumble", to use an old, 1950s term ), taking place on some nasty, out of the way street!
He had it all planned out, long before he even went there; what he would say and what he would do!
“ He had it all planned out, long before he even went there; what he would say and what he would do!”
What did he eat for breakfast?
His carrying a concealed knife capable of putting a deadly hole in another person’s heart tends to support your opinion that he was looking for trouble.
Who knows what accounts are true, but the Daily Mail article claimed that the arrest report said that at one point he said something to the effect of “Touch me and see what happens.” That is a dare. From the time he left for the competition with that hidden knife in the bag, to the time he went under a different team’s awning (who does that?) to the time he dared the other guy to touch him, he was aggressively pursuing a fight. If his classmates say this is what he was like, his actions that day match what they say about him.
Why was he like that? He was a star athlete; he shouldn’t have had an inferiority complex or need to prove himself. If he wasn’t pursuing a gang in real life why was he wanting to be a gangsta online and go looking for fights in real life? Seems like the left’s normal excuses (poverty, discrimination, police brutality, no hope for the future) don’t work for his story. Why did he choose to seek out wanton violence?
I wonder what artists he listened to and how much. And I wonder if he’s been tested for substances.
I have less than NO idea and NEVER have claimed to know more than I've posted. At least, unlike many others here and in the newspapers, I have NOT made any wild assumption, nor posted HOAXES & LIES!
Days before the Daily Mail and the N.Y. Post ran similar stories, the local Texas news stations, as well as people who were there, said that that was what he said...it was all preplanned, in my opinion.
The self defense excuse was asked as a question, of the policeman who caught him. He was looking for an excuse,or perhaps someone had previously told him that it was a good excuse. I don't know. I ONLY know what I've posted.
The victim's twin brother stated: "touch me ....etc." is what the murderer said to his brother, right out of the box, and others who were there and witnessed what happened, also said the same thing. That was in the local news, as well as in newspapers.
All of which leads me to believe that the whole thing was preplanned by the murderer.
He was looking for trouble, and he found it.
I imagine the clowns at Harvard will give the RAT a free ride like they did Davy the Hogg.
No they won’t; he’ll be in jail! And the supposed 5, very low tier colleges that accepted him, aren’t about to see him on campus either!
Hopefully, Texas doesn't offer college courses from prison.
Sick nation
Terrible how exactly?
