Karmelo Anthony, the Texas student athlete who was charged with stabbing a football star from a rival high school to death — and then raised $600,000 in donations — is set to face trial this week.
The killing of Austin Metcalf — who died in his twin brother’s arms in Frisco, Texas, at a track meet in April 2025 — sparked an outpouring of grief.
But what came next turned the case into a national sensation. The suspect, Anthony, retained a big-name Dallas lawyer, and the family started raising money from donation site GiveSendGo.
A family spokesman said last year that the money would go to “Stand with us in the fight against white supremacy.”
The case kicked off a major racial fracas online — with donations pouring in to defend Anthony, who is black.
Donations to Anthony’s legal defense fund have continued — with more than 70 contributions over the last few days before the trial.
His family said the money would be used for relocation and living expenses as well as legal defense.
Anthony, 19, also a high school football player, was later released on $250,000 bail, and his family moved into a $900,000 mansion in a gated community.

Only in…todays America
Only in liberal la-la land can a black on white murder by described as “the fight against white supremacy”.
Nothing says “Stand with us in the fight against white supremacy” like killing a white boy, scamming the public, and moving into a million dollar mansion.
“A family spokesman said last year that the money would go to “Stand with us in the fight against white supremacy.”
A White kid is stabbed to death by a black and THEY grift over half a million to fight “white supremacy”.
That makes me wanna puke.
American blacks are undoubtedly THE most racist group to ever draw a breath on American soil.
Movin’ on Up...
The lawyers are contending that, now, a black has the unilateral, unquestionable ability to decide when to use lethal force against an unarmed person, or carry lethal weapons.
If this is allowed to stand, it will be open war against blacks everywhere.
A family spokesman said last year that the money would go to “Stand with us in the fight against white supremacy.”
Disgusting.
And a lot D be named after a candy...
Sorry it’s and a kid be named after a candy.
Damn autocorrect
Wrong. The “open war” will go the other way around, and the perps will escape punishment.
No one should be allowed to profit from crime
For most of my life, I assumed it was law that one could not legally profit from their crime, at least not directly make a profit. So much for that assumption. That was only true in Old America, pre-George Floyd, patron saint of looters, low lifes and DEI losers.
“student athelete?” No Jared and Priscilla, he’s and accused cold blooded murderer. This reads like a plea for more donations and sympathy for the black motherblanker.
Contending blacks have to right to decide to use deadly force at any time.... surely you just.
The entire family is scum of the earth
Race grifters.
That “kid” deserves the death penalty.
Feral, useless, oxygen wasters
You mean it will be open war against whites everywhere.
Luigi, who is already wealthy, used his donations to challenge evidence in his case and got some of it thrown out. Karmelo used his donations to buy a truck and rent a mansion....
