Austin Metcalf and Karmelo Anthony: Self-Defense or Murder?
On April 2, 2025 17 year old Austin Metcalf in Frisco, Texas ended up in a situation that would result in another 17 year old deceased and he going to jail.
BACKGROUND
Karmelo Anthony is a 17 year old Black child, 5'9 and 130 pounds and a 4.0 GPA student, and athlete and a hero, who saved his brother from a near drowning. He's never been arrested and no disciplinary action from school, a really good child, he's very skinny and small for his size.
Austin Metcalf and Hunter Metcalf are 17 year old twins, white children, standing at 6 feet tall and 225 pounds, academically good students, who also have 4.0 averages and are athletes, Austin is a star athlete and is also MVP.
However, on a rainy day in April, several students would run under a tent, including Karmelo who wanted to stay dry out of the rain, he was then singled out by Austin, words exchanged, to the point, that Karmelo felt threatened and stated "touch me and see what happens", ultimately leading to Austin roughing Karmelo up and then apparently balling his fist up to Karmelo, as Karmelo says, "go ahead and punch me in my face".
More roughing up ensued before Karmelo reached into his bag, pulling out a knife and defending himself.
There are several stories about this, by witnesses, though we've all did that experiment in school where one person whispers or tell a story to another and by the time it gets to the last person things are a little different than the original.
So report that both Austin and Hunter roughed up Karmelo, some have also stated that they tried to take his belongings and break his cellphone.
Some have stated Austin said "You are under the white tent" and others say he said "You are under the wrong tent".
What We Know For Certain
What we do know for certain is that Austin was the aggressor and in a bullying manor roughed up Karmelo that's a fact, and we also know for certain Karmelo stabbed him in response.
The sad part about this is three children's lives will be effected forever, one dead, one in jail fighting for his freedom and one who had to watch his twin die.
The Current Climate In America Under Trumpism And MAGAism
Under the current Trump MAGA administration, the climate of America is horrible, racism, racial violence, xenophobia, sexism, bullying, terrorism, and fascism is at all time high, emboldening the worse out of society and enabling, these type of exchanges i.e. fear-mongering and scapegoating to whites to be vigilant and against Blacks, immigrants, LGBTQIA+ or people who are non-white heterosexual men.
Then at the same time it heightened the fear and defensiveness amongst Blacks and other targeted groups, who are constantly in fear of some kind of racial violence or discrimination happening to them.

Karmelo Anthony & Austin Metcalf – Frisco, Texas “Stabbing”:
A modern-day FORCED segregation-attempt that didn’t go as planned resulting in the death of a 17 year child
Trump’s MAGA movement is inspiring a new wave of bold, racist acts—and now we’re seeing the deadly consequences. After Trump signed an executive order removing the ban on segregation, his supporters—no matter the age—have been acting out, and now a 17-year-old white teenager is dead and a 17 year old Black teenager is being punished for a MAGA assault, gone wrong.
Two MAGA influenced teen twin brothers 6 feet tall nearly 300 pounds, cornered a Black 4.0 GPA student, known as the town's bullies, who tried to exercise forced segregation, theft and vandalizing i.e. they tried to allegedly steal Karmelo's belongings and break his cellphones. Many witnesses insist that Karmelo was not the aggressor nor agitator.
This all happened at a high school track meet in Frisco, Texas, 17-year-old Karmelo Anthony (5’11”, 160 lbs) was simply trying to stay dry under a tent when 17-year-old Austin Metcalf (6’0”, 225 lbs), a known MAGA supporter, told him, “You’re in the white section.”
Austin then physically grabbed Karmelo. Fearing for his safety, Karmelo reached into his backpack, pulled out a knife, and defended himself. Now Karmelo is being charged with murder and held on a $1 million bond.
This is the first known attempt at enforcing segregation since Trump’s executive order—and it didn’t go the way they expected, it is unfortunate that two three children ended up in a hostile situation that resulted in one dying, one losing his brother, and the other traumatized going to jail. These are still impressionable children at the end of the day.
Karmelo unfortunately had to refuse to be another victim of racist violence. And he’s being punished by a system that continues to criminalize Black self-defense, it is unfortunate death occurred, and in this scenario as is to often the story, Karmelo could've been the one dead or possibly even lynched, as that is the common scenario for young Black men today, we mustn't ever forget Kendrick Lamar Johnson who had an incident white bullies and ended up beaten to death at school rolled up in a carpet.
This is bigger than one incident—this is about the return of segregation, racial violence, and injustice in 2025.
