A Frisco, Texas, judge’s decision to release 17-year-old Karmelo Anthony, suspected of murdering a fellow student at a track meet, has sparked powerful emotions.

Anthony, a Frisco Centennial High School student, allegedly stabbed Austin Metcalf to death on April 2.

Metcalf, a junior at Frisco Memorial High School, was a beloved athlete who excelled in track and football. His tragic death has left his family and community heartbroken.
 
On Monday, Judge Angela Tucker of the 199th District Court in Collin County reduced Anthony’s bond from $1 million to $250,000, according to WFAA-TV.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Karmelo Anthony’s family, following his murder charge in the killing of Austin Metcalf, plans to use $400,000 in donations to buy a new home and hire security amid alleged “racist threats.” Ten-to-one they also buy a new car and plenty of bling. They've already signed a lease on a very nice, very large home in a gated community.

The family of a teen who fatally stabbed a 17-year-old boy in Texas plans to use his $400,000 legal defense fund to move home and hire security after facing racist threats.

Anthony, 17, was in court as he faces a first-degree murder charge for the killing of Austin Metcalf, who died in his twin brother Hunter's arms after being stabbed in the heart at a track meet in Frisco earlier this month.

During the hearing, prosecutors asked his father Andrew Anthony why he could not use the more than $415,000 in donated funds for his son's defense to pay the original $1million bond, which was reduced to $250,000 on Monday.

Just 10 percent of that amount must be paid, meaning Anthony will likely be free very soon. 

Andrew Anthony said the fund was to be used for Anthony's legal defense. But he also disclosed that the cash would be used for security and to help the family move after the threats they have allegedly faced since the killing.

The revelation comes after a spokesperson for the family said they can't leave their after their address was leaked online, leading to 'graphic and racist threats,' which included images of 'black children with knives stuck in their head.'

Anthony's attorney Michael Howard said, regarding the money: 'It would be disingenuous to say there isn’t money... But it is not a bond fund. This family needs to be able to survive.' ...

"A Frisco, Texas, judge’s decision to release 17-year-old Karmelo Anthony, suspected of murdering a fellow student at a track meet"

There is no "suspicion" here.
The perp ADMITTED to the officers that he stabbed the victim.

This one's gonna depend on the jury.
Will they do the right thing?

Alleged Murderer Karmelo Anthony Enters Grifter Hall of Fame After What He Did With Donations
Bonchie
~4 minutes

How insane is 2025? A 17-year-old allegedly murdered a fellow student and managed to parlay that into almost half a million dollars in donations, and what he did with the money will shock and disgust you.

As RedState reported, Karmelo Anthony confessed to stabbing and killing Austin Metcalf after an altercation at an athletic event. According to witnesses, Anthony came into Metcalf's tent and refused to leave when requested. Anthony then "dared" someone to touch him. When Metcalf attempted to escort him out of the tent, he was stabbed to death.

In a sign of just how depraved society has become, the case immediately became a racial issue despite Anthony, who is black, being the one who allegedly murdered Metcalf. Donations poured into Anthony's GoFundMe campaign for his "legal defense," and posts like this were made calling for "justice," not for the boy who was killed, but for the alleged killer.

Now, we know what Anthony and his family did with a good portion of the money they received. According to a new report, they bought a new car and moved into a $900,000 home in a gated community. No, I'm not kidding. They took money intended for his "legal defense" and hit the upgrade button with it.

    The Texas teen accused of fatally stabbing a high school football star at a track meet allegedly lives in a $900K home inside a luxurious gated community — despite requesting a judge lower his $1 million bond because of financial difficulties, according to a report.

    Karmelo Anthony, 17, is shacked up with his family at the pricey home inside the gated community of Richwoods in Frisco, Texas, after he was released from jail Monday on a reduced $250,000 bond for allegedly killing Austin Metcalf earlier this month, the Daily Mail reported.

    The home — where rent is estimated to be $3,500 a month — had a white Suburban, a black Acura, and a third sedan in the driveway on Tuesday, according to the outlet.

It would be something if he (the basketball player) said something critical of this grifting murderous punk and his family, wouldn't it?

What a message to send to other junior felons.  **nononono*

Smokin' Joe wonders:
"Anyone know anything about the judge?"

A black woman...?

Ahem...
That figures.

As I posted yesterday in another thread:

Agreed, but the prosecutor decided right off the bat not to seek the death penalty.

Just wondering if there is a pattern, here, but what do we know about the prosecutor? It seems this perpetrator is getting the kid glove treatment, and I wonder if certain superficial characteristics have anything to do with that.

The people supporting Karmelo Anthony don’t really believe the BS that it was “self-defense.” They don’t care about that. When the video comes out proving that this was cold blooded homicide, it won’t matter. They’re happy that he killed a white kid. It’s that simple.

It doesn’t matter what video surfaces. Self-defense is off the table—Anthony was committing a felony by bringing a weapon onto school grounds. In Texas, you lose the right to claim self-defense if you’re in the middle of committing another crime.
2:54 AM · Apr 17, 2025

The second tweeter raises a good point.  Has he been charged with having the weapon on school grounds?

Why did Anthony, who supposedly was at the track meet because his team was competing, take a knife to the meet? Was he on his own school's track team? If so, why wasn't he sitting with his teammates? Instead, he purposefully went to another school's seating area and plopped himself down in the midst of his competitors.

I've been to dozens of high school and college track meets. Teams sit together in their own space. Always. Anyone who is not a member of that team, whether just a spectator or a member of another team, would not just saunter over and plop himself down in their area. He tried to provoke this attack. If Metcalf did touch Anthony on the arm or on his backpack when he told him not to sit there, there was no "self defense" right to respond with a lethal weapon.

Karmelo Anthony’s family starts selling merch, and his fixer pushes ‘celebrity’ status with a bizarre social media video
By Olivia Murray

Karmelo Anthony’s family is stereotyping again.

After taking their financial windfall and renting out a McMansion they could never afford otherwise, reportedly buying a new car, and going on an online shopping spree, they’re now selling merchandise with the teen killer’s image and setting up a website where you can no doubt continue to financially support the Anthony family as they live out their ghetto rags-to-riches lifestyle:
