JUST IN: Teen Killer Karmelo Anthony Indicted on Murder Charge in Fatal Stabbing of Austin Metcalf โ€“ Faces Up to Life in Prison


Karmelo Anthony was indicted for murder by a grand jury in the fatal stabbing of 16-year-old track star Austin Metcalf.

Earlier this year a judge reduced Karmelo Anthonyโ€™s bond from $1 million to $250,000 and placed him on house arrest.

As TGP previously reported, 16-year-old track and football star Austin Metcalf was brutally stabbed to death in April during a championship track meet at Kuykendall Stadium in Frisco, Texas.

Metcalf, a junior at Frisco Memorial High School, was attacked in broad daylight โ€” at a school-sanctioned event meant to showcase hard work, discipline, and sportsmanship.

The suspect, (now 18-year-old) Karmelo Anthony of rival school Frisco Centennial, was charged with first-degree murder and faces up to life in prison.

CBS News reported:

Karmelo Anthony, the now 18-year-old accused of fatally stabbing another teen during an altercation at a Frisco ISD track meet in early April, was indicted for murder by a Collin County grand jury on Tuesday.

Anthony, who was 17 at the time of the incident, was arrested on April 2 in connection with the stabbing death of 17-year-old Austin Metcalf during a track meet at Kuykendall Stadium.

The teen, who is facing a first-degree murder charge, has been on house arrest since being released on a reduced bond on April 14. If convicted, Anthony could face a possible sentence of 5-99 years or life in prison. In the Texas criminal justice system, 17-year-olds are considered adults.

Collin County District Attorney Greg Willis announced that his team worked to present evidence to the grand jury for weeks.

โ€œWe know this case has struck a deep nerve โ€” here in Collin County and beyond. Thatโ€™s understandable. When something like this happens at a school event, it shakes people to the core,โ€ Willis said in a news release. โ€œBut the justice system works best when it moves with steadiness and with principle. Thatโ€™s what weโ€™re committed to. And thatโ€™s exactly what this case deserves.โ€

The Karmelo Anthony family attorney previously asked the judge to put the teen killer on an ankle monitor and reduce his bond so he can โ€œbe with his family.โ€

The defense attorney argued that Karmelo Anthony has no prior arrests and should be released from prison.

Prosecutors argued that Karmelo Anthony was involved in an altercation at school in February, but it did not involve law enforcement, according to Fox 4 News.

In asking for the bond reduction, the defense attorneys said Anthonyโ€™s family is having trouble accessing the more than $400,000 raised for the teen killer. The judge sided with the defense and reduced Karmelo Anthonyโ€™s bond to $250,000.

Killer Karmelo and Judge

Earlier this year Judge Angela Tucker of the 199th Judicial District Court also said Karmelo Anthony would be put on house arrest.
