Texas teen who fatally stabbed track athlete at school meet found guilty and sentenced to prison
· 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. The incident occurred last year when a confrontation escalated over Anthony's refusal to leave Metcalf's team's tent. The jury rejected Anthony's self-defense claims, deliberating for less than three hours. Testimonies indicated that Anthony was the aggressor, and the case drew significant media attention, partly due to its racial elements. Both families described the boys as good students with college aspirations.
