Texas High School Stabbing: Was It Self-Defense or a Senseless Murder?

Only in America can a seating dispute at a high school track meet escalate into a homicide and spark a philosophical debate about self-defense laws.

In a tragic incident at Kuykendall Stadium in Frisco, Texas, 17-year-old Karmelo Anthony (no, not the NBA legend) fatally stabbed Austin Metcalf, a Memorial High School football player, during what started as a simple argument over a team tent.

But here’s the twist: Instead of running or hiding, Anthony stood by his actions, calmly telling police, “I’m not alleged, I did it.” He didn’t backtrack or remain silent—he claimed it was an act of self-defense.

The Incident: What Really Happened at the Track Meet?

According to the arrest affidavit, Metcalf and his twin brother, Hunter, approached Anthony, who was sitting in what they believed was their team’s reserved tent.

Tensions flared, and Anthony allegedly warned them, “Touch me and see what happens.” Moments later, a physical altercation broke out between the three.

That’s when Anthony claims he pulled out a knife and stabbed Austin in the chest—one swift blow, under 30 seconds, and it was over.

The Self-Defense Claim: Is It Justified?

Despite confessing to the act, Anthony’s supporters, including his father, argue that the situation was more complex.

They contend that Karmelo wasn’t the aggressor—he was cornered and outnumbered, and responded with what he believed was the only option for his safety.

Anthony, who has no prior history of violence and maintains a clean record, including a 3.7 GPA, insists his reaction was a matter of survival.

However, the question remains: Was this a legitimate act of self-defense, or was it an overreaction that led to a senseless death?

A Family Grieves and the Court of Public Opinion Divides

Meanwhile, the Metcalf family is left mourning a young man whose life was tragically cut short. Austin was not just a football MVP but also a straight-A student and a beloved twin brother.

He died later that day in the hospital, with his brother, Hunter, cradling him in his final moments. This shocking and brutal event has left the family—and the entire community—reeling.

As the case unfolds, public opinion is sharply divided. On social media, people are already taking sides: some believe Anthony’s actions were justified, while others see it as murder. But inside the courtroom, the real question remains: was it an act of self-defense—or was it murder?
