Karmelo Anthony indicted for murder in stabbing death of Austin Metcalf at Frisco ISD track meet

Anthony’s attorney, Mike Howard, released a video statement after the indictment, saying in part, “Karmelo and his family are confident in the justice system and the people of Collin County to be fair and impartial. Of course, Karmelo looks forward to his day in court.”

“Because it’s only in a trial that the full story can be heard, and that impartial justice can be done,” Howard continued. “We expect that when the full story is heard, the prosecution will not be able to rule out the reasonable doubt that Carmelo Anthony may have acted in self-defense.”

The next step in this legal process will be assigning a trial judge who will then set a first appearance court date. That first appearance could be days, weeks or months down the road.

Frisco ISD releases video of the stabbing

Frisco ISD released surveillance footage of the fatal incident in mid-June.

The video recording began several minutes before the altercation between Anthony and Metcalf. The camera, positioned near the press box, captured half of the field at Kuykendall Stadium.
