Karmelo Anthony formally charged with MURDER for stabbing Austin Metcalf in high school crime that stunned the country

Karmelo Anthony, the teen who admitted to stabbing and killing a fellow high school athlete at a track meet in Texas, has been indicted on a first-degree murder charge.

Austin Metcalf, 17, bled out in his brother's arms after the then-17-year-old Anthony attacked him in the bleachers of David Kuykendall Stadium in Frisco in April 2.

Anthony, now 18, insisted he was acting in self-defense when he knifed Metcalf, however, he's never explained why he had a weapon at an event on school property.

However, Tuesday, he was formally charged by a grand jury in the crime that has drawn national attention over race and privilege.

'I fully believe that justice will be served for Austin Metcalf,' his father Jeff told DailyMail.com of the indictment.

'I look forward to the forthcoming trial. But it will never bring my son back.'

Frisco, Texas police have said the incident stemmed from Metcalf asking Anthony to leave his team tent since he didn't go to the same school.

The indictment comes weeks after the local district attorney began presenting evidence to a grand jury, asking jurors to uphold the first-degree murder count local cops originally brought against the teen.

He’s a damn murderer and should be cooling his heals in prison for a few decades. POS.

According to reports, there is a video of the incident, which has not yet been released publicly. I’m sure the grand jury saw it, though.

Just like when they withhold motives, manifesto, and names.

And there’s a Judge that’s feels she is his Godmother.

And he was in trouble in school previously, and they lied about that already.

My preference is for karmelo's corpse cooling in the prison morgue
after suffering a hideous death.

Stunned?
His mugshot looks just like the 30 other mugshots I’ve seen today, why would anyone be stunned?

Yes, though he was 17 when he murdered Austin, he is 18 and will NOT go to JUVIE; he WILL go to adult jail.

With a MURDER ! rap...that 40 years to life, with possible parole after 40 years.

Death penalty was ruled out at the beginning; sadly.
