19-year-old Karmelo Anthony was convicted of the murder of 17-year-old Austin Metcalf during a Frisco, Texas track meet (April 2026). He claimed self-defense after entering a rival tent and being pushed, but the jury rejected the “sudden passion” argument and sentenced him to 35 years in prison. The dismissal of Black jurors and an all-White panel have sparked allegations of racial bias. The defense has stated it will appeal.
Self-defense or cold-blooded kill?
