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.

Oh bullshit Mao

You always do this Mao and I think you’re entertaining despite these inclinations lol
I know frisco

It’s A good place

Extended north Dallas pretty much beyond Plano and hardly poverty ridden. And little hood rat crap

100 plus median income

Maybe high school anywhere for u would have sucked

It’s hard for some and I always defended folks from bullying when I could as a kid being large and game as I was
I get that

That’s like saying Brentwood tn sucks or Alpharetta Georgia or Katy Texas or round rock or any metro affluent or semi affluent burb

I ain’t buying what you’re selling

I think the murdering negro was from somewhere else btw

Frisco approximates a suburban ideal for many in flyover country

They tend to vote right there

[nopardons]

Hi, my dear friend!

You hit the nail on the head, with ONE exception. I know WHERE the murderer lives and it's not a bad neighborhood; pretty middle class and right near an UPPER middle class section of Frisco.

Alpharetta is lovely and has many homes in the million PLUS dollar range, that are stunning!

[ifinnegan]

Because you claim to know things that we can’t know, so why don’t you know other things we can’t know?

Let me say this: Did Metcalf put his hands on Anthony?

If he did then Anthony has a defense. In Texas you can use deadly force to avoid a beating or bodily harm. Seen it many times here.

Don't get too wound up!

Let me say this: Did Metcalf put his hands on Anthony? If he did then Anthony has a defense. In Texas you can use deadly force to avoid a beating or bodily harm. Seen it many times here.

"Put your hands on me and see what happens... Put your hands on me again." As heard being said by Anthony to Metcalf according to multiple witnesses.

Under Texas Penal Code Section 22.06, titled "Consent as Defense to Assaultive Conduct" Anthony requested Metcalf to "touch him." This is considered consent for a fight. Anthony cannot claim self defense.

Cold blooded murder. Doesn't mean he won't be facing an all black jury, and incompetent prosecutor, and get the OJ treatment.

And the event was being held on a local college campus, which I bet is a "gun free zone".

It was held at the Frisco Independent School School District Stadium(Kuykendall Stadium). The stadium use is likely shared by schools in the district.

[wardaddy]

I read he was from a rival high school
Assumed it was somewhere else
Don’t understand frisco bashing

It’s nice actually

You just have to deal with Dallas Fort Worth sprawl which is epic

I think by 2050 it’ll be maybe largest megapolis in the country or close

I think it’s fourth now

Man when I was a wee boy in a garage apt on posh turtle creek I think it was only 1.5 million total dfw metro

Now it’s 8.5

Phew

[nopardons]

I really don't understand WHY some posters put down either areas of this country, individual towns and/or cities, but they do. Sure, some places are dreadful, but those aren't usually the places that get condemned.

Over the past decade and some, Frisco has really grown like crazy.

LOL...where haven't you lived? Yes, Turtle Creek is still nice and so are other similar sections.

I have NO idea at all about the public schools there, don't know anything at all about the different high schools that each boy went to, so can't comment on any of that.

[nopardons]

Drew, you don't live in Frisco. Have you ever been there? Do you even know anyone who DOES live there now?

And all black jury? REALLY? LOL...an Indian jury is far more likely; if some hanky panky is done in order to get a darker skinned jurist pool. And it very doubtful that that will happen.

And you're putting down the prosecutors?

Why don't we all wait and see what happens, instead of posting assumption as to what shall?

[nopardons]

Oh, thanks...I guess I was given the wrong info/read an article that had it wrong.

[EVO X]

If the report I cited is accurate, school officials let him on the grounds with a knife. Although not necessarily illegal, it was likely grounds for suspension or possibly expulsion even if nothing happened.

[Georgia Girl 2]

Yes there’s more to this story like Karmelo Anthony was suspended for walking around his school’s campus carrying a knife. 😮

[nopardons]

Yes, he DID bring in a knife big and sharp enough, to stab the victim in the heart and kill him. That is an established FACT!

I have no idea what public school rules are in Frisco, so am unable to comment on that.

[EVO X]

All I know about the actual events of the case is the bond hasn’t been reduced from $1M..

[Fledermaus]

Wife and I go to Plano once a year to see her sister and her family.

It’s a huge flat nothing growing like crazy.

It’s miles and miles and miles of neighborhoods. Driving around looks like old cartoons...store, bakery, bank, restaurants, car wash, strip malls, convenient stores...repeat over and over.

Frisco has a huge mall.

[EVO X]

WOW. I didn’t realize the Dallas Fort Worth metroplex was that dense. I spent some time in Dallas decades ago. Plano was just a bedroom community back then.

A rich widow owned the pinkish stucco manse

She wore Chanel boucle a lot

Loved my early to mid 20s mom

They’d stroll me and walk the creek parkway

Ages 2-5

Scant memories

Dad flew guard weekends I think Sam Antonio

I remember the southern kitchen past love field

It was great eats

My favorite aunt and uncle lived out central then before north park mall

You went to old town or highland park to shop or duwntown

Neimans
Sanger Harris

Titches

My aunt and uncle were manager and co manager of the huge Sheraton downtown

Now he’s 92 and widowed recently and has small ranch East Texas

I go over every 4-5 months

[Fledermaus]

And they are still building.

[EVO X]

Even in the failed state of Illinois, the Chicago metroplex is the same way..

[nopardons]

It also has lovely sections, very nice country clubs, some good private schools, and has grown by leaps and bounds in the past decade plus. It’s a nice place.
