Frisco Murder Suspect Karmelo Anthony to Graduate High School Amid Ongoing Legal Battle
FRISCO, Texas – Karmelo Anthony, an 18-year-old murder suspect, is anticipated to graduate from high school despite facing serious charges linked to the fatal stabbing of 17-year-old Austin Metcalf during a track meet this past April. Family representatives from the Next Generation Action Network (NGAN) indicated that Anthony’s academic achievements allow him to complete his graduation requirements without returning to school for the remainder of the year.
However, after the initial announcement, some aspects of the statement were retracted, emphasizing the sensitive nature of the ongoing legal situation. A spokesperson from Frisco Independent School District (ISD) stated they could not disclose individual student records and highlighted that previous media reports contained inaccuracies that could lead to misunderstandings.
The tragic incident occurred at the UIL District 11-5A track meet held at Kuykendall Stadium, where Metcalf was fatally attacked. Arrest documents reveal that Anthony allegedly admitted to the crime, telling officers, "I did it," while also inquiring whether his actions could be classified as self-defense. Following the incident, he was arrested and charged with murder, but has since been released from jail on a reduced bond amounting to $250,000.
Frisco ISD’s last school day is set for May 21, prompting discussions regarding the implications of Anthony’s graduation status in light of his charges. As legal proceedings continue, the community remains watchful of developments in this high-profile case.
