· KRGV (NBC 5)
A Texas teenager, Karmelo Anthony, was convicted of murder for fatally stabbing 17-year-old Austin Metcalf during a high school track meet in Frisco. The jury dismissed Anthony's self-defense claims, noting that the confrontation escalated after Anthony refused to leave Metcalf's team's tent. Witnesses described a heated exchange before Anthony pulled out a knife and stabbed Metcalf in the chest. The trial, which attracted significant media attention, highlighted racial dynamics, as Anthony is Black and Metcalf was white, though both sides argued race was not a factor. Anthony faces a potential life sentence.
