‘I Did It’: 17-YO Austin Metcalf’s Killer Confesses as Family Issues Statement

“If I could say anything to the nation, it would be just to hug your babies tight, because you don’t know if it will be the last time you do it.” 2x Play of the Game. Once in August of 24′ and the next in September of 24′. Add to that the #39 ranking on Division 5A-2 and #6 on SA-2 Region I. If you ask anyone, they’d tell you that Austin Metcalf was well on his way to accomplish his dream of collegiate-level football. For all we know, he could’ve been the next Jack Anderson coming out of Frisco.

But often, the question “what is and what could’ve been?” leads to a rather unfortunate answer. April 2nd, 2025: The whole internet was instantly flooded with updates on a reported stabbing that took place at the UIL District 11-5A championship track meet. Police responded to a 10 a.m. call, which highlighted the altercation between 2 students. Here, the victim, Austin Metcalf, was stabbed in the chest by the perpetrator, Karmelo Anthony. Further updates by NBC DFW highlighted that the entire fight between the 2 students happened because Metcalf reported told Anthony to “move out from their tent.”

Things escalated further when Austin tried to grab and move Anthony out and was then reportedly stabbed in the chest. “Austin grabbed Anthony to tell him to move and Anthony pulled out … a black knife and stabbed Austin once in the chest,” – the police report detailed. When the officers arrived on the scene and marked Anthony as the “alleged” suspect, the 17-year-old clarified that he was the one to stab Austin: “I’m not alleged, I did it.”
