FRISCO, Texas - Representatives for the family of Frisco murder suspect Karmelo Anthony issued a news release Monday morning saying they're "gravely concerned" about threats against them. Because of the threats, the Next Generation Action Network says the courts approved for Anthony to be moved from his home to an undisclosed location to "ensure his immediate safety."
Anthony is charged with murder in the death of 17-year-old Austin Metcalf. Metcalf was stabbed and killed at a track meet on April 2.
Anthony, also 17, was released from jail and placed on house arrest after his bond was reduced from $1 million to $250,000.
NGAN is a civil and human rights organization in North Texas. Anthony's family chose the group to stand with them through this process.
Karmelo Anthony moved to "undisclosed location" What we know: According to NGAN, over the past several days, there has been an "alarming increase in death threats, continued harassment, and physical intimidation targeted at the family's home."
Some of the harassment includes people visiting the Anthony family home, loitering and taking photos of the property, false food deliveries, disturbing mailings, including Austin Metcalf's obituary, and people repeatedly circling the family home, taking photos and attempting to provoke fear and intimidation, the news release states.
"We are sharing images and documentation of the threats the family has faced this past weekend to make the public aware of the dangerous atmosphere that has been created — an atmosphere fueled by organized hate, systemic racism, and intentional misinformation," said Dominique Alexander in the news release.
NGAN says its internal security team is working with local law enforcement to ensure the safety of the family.
"It is both heartbreaking and infuriating to see the depths of hate and bigotry still alive and well in our society," said Minister Dominique Alexander, President of the Next Generation Action Network. "No family should have to live under siege simply because they are demanding their constitutional rights. We will not be silent, and we will not back down. We are committed to doing whatever is necessary to protect this family and to ensure that justice is pursued without intimidation or fear."
Another reason Karmelo Anthony was moved to an undisclosed location was due to a recent rally in Frisco, according to NGAN.
The fliers posted on social media said, "Protect White Americans." "Justice for Austin Metcalf" "Demand Karmelo Anthony be put back in prison until trial." "Peaceful protest." "Stop black violence on white Americans."
The rally was organized by Jake Lang of Florida, who was previously charged in the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol.
2 arrested at Frisco rally on April 19 A rally held at the Kuykendall Stadium parking lot in Frisco on Saturday ended with two people arrested.
There was a rally held at the Kuykendall Stadium parking lot in Frisco on Saturday at 11 a.m. According to the Frisco Police Department, two people were arrested during the event. Video provided to FOX 4 shows an apparent clash between protests and counter-protesters. One of the people arrested is accused of pepper-spraying another person at the event.
City officials say the people who attended didn't appear to be from Frisco.
What they're saying: Texas Representative Jared Patterson posted on X about the event saying, "There was a "protest" in Frisco today led and apparently attended by folks who aren’t from Frisco. By the looks of things, there were about half a dozen or so folks there, with more media attending than protestors according to reports. The professional agitators didn’t accomplish their goal today. They chose the wrong community in which to spread their hate. Thank you, Frisco. I’m so proud of the professionalism of the Frisco Police Department. They’ve been under an incredible amount of stress in recent weeks, fighting against propaganda and misinformation by those who wish to divide our community along racial lines in the wake of tragedy. Frisco won’t fall for that. And thankfully we’re protected by an amazing group of police officers who stand in the gap to protect our community. God bless them all."
Charges filed against Jake Lang According Jake Lang's post on X, he "broke into Kuykendall Stadium and got the first ever footage of Austin Metcalf's blood stained on the stadium floor." "His blood cries out for justice" and "Lock up Karmelo Anthony now."
The video was posted on social media hours after the rally, just before 6:30 p.m.
FOX 4 News reached out to Frisco ISD. Officials with the district say they have filed trespassing charges against Lang for breaking into district property. They also said, "the individual in this video is filming on the home side of the stadium. The incident occurred on the visitor side, which can be seen across the field when he turns the camera off himself."
Frisco Police say they have been in contact with Frisco ISD, saying the incident is under investigation.
Jail would be a safe place.
Wow. The guy who stabs an innocent, unarmed guy in the heart and kills him is worried about his safety. This is bizzaro world. Jail would have been safe.
Crazy world isn’t it?
He killed somebody, yet in the media he’s being portrayed as the victim. He’s the killer , yet he’s really the victim.
The Crack house in his old hood??

They tried to shame me, but ended up showing my testimony.
When I first stepped into activism in 2014, I didn’t hide who I was. In fact, my very first year I was named Person of the Year for the Dallas Observer’s People’s Edition in 2015 — and I spoke about my past. I wasn’t trying to bury it. I laid it out, because my life has always been about transparency. I’m not here to run from my story. I’m here to use it to impact future generations — to make sure they don’t walk down the same path.
I’ve been an open book about my life since day one. My testimony is mine. Ain’t no shame in my journey. I’m a walking, breathing example that it’s not about how you start — it’s about how you finish.
Those mugshots you see floating around? Most of ‘em, I posted myself. If you wanna dig up my past, keep digging. Hell, there’s some you’re missing. And every one of them just shows the journey God had me on. I could’ve sealed those cases years ago, but I chose to leave them open — because growth should be visible, not hidden.
You can’t make me feel bad about me. You’re actually doing me a favor by showing the world what God can do with a man that didn’t quit.
To the ones trying to figure out how a dude from Oak Cliff, TX — 75216 to be exact — with a record, with a story, turned around and built the largest human and civil rights organization in North Texas… let me help you: It’s called purpose. It’s called anointing. It’s called favor.
And if you’re mad about it, stay mad.
Because I’m not going anywhere.
I’m tried, tested, and proven.
Keep posting my mugshots — you’re just posting God’s glory and facts never lie don’t tell half tell the whole story.
I’m not here to argue. I’m not here for your approval.
I’m here for every Black boy they try to write off.
I’m here to break systems.
I’m here to make sure another Black life isn’t destroyed by hate.
So to the racists trolling my page:
Congratulations — you just became part of my success story.
I’m living rent-free in your head.
And still standing 10 toes down in my purpose.
God had His hand on me then.
He got His hand on me now.
And He’s not done yet.

However, if enough people donate $$$$, he ‘might’ make a special appearance.
If someone were to donate a nice mansion or two, you could even qualify for dinner* with Karmelo.
*It would be a BYOK dinner - Bring Your Own Knife
Karmelo Anthony deserves justice, as does his victim Austin Metcalf. In Anthony’s case, may it be swift and violent.
Where is the TX AG here ?
“Family Representatives”?
Schooled liars?
you know who doesn’t get to move ‘for their own safety’? 17-year-old Austin Metcalf!
I have the perfect location. It’s located deep in the woods and is over-populated by feral pigs.
Especially since he never claimed he felt his life was in peril as the reason he stabbed Austin Metcalf to death.
He was better off before that crude disgusting press conference his grifter spokes clown held yesterday.
He is hiding out. Nobody is threatening this dude.
Is anyone really surprised.
That entire family is garbage.
