A tragic incident at a Texas track meet has sparked intense debate
after 17-year-old Karmelo Anthony was accused of fatally stabbing
Austin Metcalf. Karmelo’s father, Andrew, insists it was self-defense,
describing his son as a hardworking student with a 3.7 GPA. The
altercation reportedly started over a seat, escalating when Karmelo
allegedly pulled out a knife and stabbed Austin. The Metcalf family
calls it murder, while Karmelo’s family argues it was a split-second decision.
Karmelo expressed regret after the incident, and a fundraiser for
him claims the narrative around the event is false. The case has divided
opinions, with some calling for harsh punishment and others urging
patience until the facts are clear. Both families are grieving as the debate continues
