· KRGV (NBC 5)
A Texas teenager, Karmelo Anthony, was found guilty of murder and sentenced to 35 years in prison for fatally stabbing 17-year-old track athlete Austin Metcalf during a high school meet in April 2025. The jury rejected Anthony's self-defense claims, concluding that he was the aggressor in the confrontation that escalated over Anthony's refusal to leave Metcalf's team's tent. The trial attracted significant attention, partly due to social media discussions framing the incident racially. Both teens were from Frisco, Texas, and had no prior acquaintance. The case highlighted issues of accountability and community standards.
