A 16-year-old track athlete was killed during a championship meet Wednesday morning in Texas by a member of another team, officials said.

Frisco Police confirmed the student-athlete died "despite lifesaving measures." The suspect, 17-year-old Karmelo Anthony, has been charged with first-degree murder.

A student from Frisco Memorial was the victim, according to local reports. Frisco Memorial Principal Brook Fesco wrote in an email obtained by Fox News Digital that Austin Metcalf, a junior at the school, had died Wednesday.

The incident occurred at about 10 a.m. at Kuykendall Stadium at the University Interscholasic League's District 11-5A championship meet. Anthony attends Frisco Centennial, roughly 7 miles away from Frisco Memorial.

According to the Frisco Independent School District, the meet was suspended shortly after the incident. The ISD added that the stadium "was immediately secured, and students were released and sent back to their home campus on FISD buses with expediency."

In her email, Fesco said the school "will acknowledge Austin’s death during 2nd period and will offer support throughout the day," adding counselors would be available.

"As a parent, your guidance and support will be important in helping your child process grief. Talking about this together, face-to-face, will give you a chance to discuss how your family understands and copes with loss. You may also want to discuss with your child how to be a supportive friend to classmates," Fesco wrote. "This loss might remind your student of past losses as well. The most important thing you can do is provide your child a chance to be heard and to express their feelings."

"The Frisco Police Department grieves with all those affected by this devastating loss and extends its deepest condolences to the victim’s family, students, and staff who are experiencing unimaginable pain," the department said in a statement. "The department is collaborating with the Frisco Independent School District and will continue to provide any support they need during this incredibly difficult time."

Metcalf, who also played football at the school, participated in both the boys shot put and discus events earlier in the day, with threw distances of 39 feet, 9¾ inches and 86 feet, 4 inches, respectively.

Eight schools competed at the meet, according to MileSplit.

For nearly two years, Dominique Alexander has been organizing protests in Dallas as the founder of the Next Generation Action Network. Now Alexander is going to prison.

He was sentenced on Friday afternoon to two years for violating his probation on multiple occasions. The most recent violation occurred when he left the state not once but twice without telling his probation officer.

Alexander has become one of the faces of the protest movement, mild as it is in Dallas. He took to the streets with 200 other protesters in late November 2014 when a grand jury in Ferguson, Missouri, declined to indict a white police officer who shot and killed an unarmed black teenager. They marched through downtown Dallas, shut down Interstate 35E and chanted “Hey, hey, ho, ho, these racist cops have got to go” in front of Dallas police headquarters after seven of their protesters were arrested.

In July, Alexander joined with the Southern Baptist minister Rev. Jeff Hood to lead another protest through downtown. They gathered to speak out against the killing of Alton Sterling, an armed black man and registered sex offender who was shot and killed by Baton Rouge police officers. But their protest ended with Micah Johnson’s gunfire and five officers dead.

Alexander claims Dallas Police Chief David Brown is partially holding him responsible for the police officers’ deaths. He said he also believes Brown is angered because he refuses to hold protests in a safer place. “He’s absolutely blaming me,” Alexander told the Observer during a visit to his home a day before the sentencing.

He even highlighted the blame in a letter to the court. “In Future, I will train and instruct protestors to remain peaceful and obedience to all lawful requests made by police,” Alexander wrote. “In Future, before any protest, I agree to meet with the police to confirm the exact route of the protest and to work out any possible problems in advance.”

Kim Cole, one of Alexander’s attorneys, said the Dallas police were trying to silence him. “They were very vocal about him getting on their nerves,” she said. “They were tired of him. In some way, they blame him for what happened on July 7.”

Brown couldn’t be reached for comment.

Alexander was first arrested in July 2009 for causing serious bodily injury to a child. Police reported he’d been babysitting his girlfriend’s 2-year-old son for the evening when he called her at 11 p.m. and told her “to get home now.” But he didn’t tell her why. When she arrived, she found her child unresponsive. Alexander told his girlfriend that he’d been watching a movie with her son on the couch. He paused the movie, police reported, and as he walked into the computer room, he heard the sound of her son, who was asleep on the couch, fall off the couch and onto the carpet.

But the doctor disagreed with his statement. He examined Alexander’s girlfriend’s son in the intensive care unit and reported that the child had a subdural hemorrhage between the halves of his brain and at the back of the brain. He also had retinal hemorrhages in both eyes.

“The severity of his injuries is not consistent with rolling off the couch,” the investigating officer reported the doctor saying. “The injuries are acute and likely occurred around the time that [his girlfriend’s son] started to have symptoms (like being unresponsive.) Without more adequate history of trauma, complainant’s injuries are more consistent with abusive head trauma and child physical abuse.”

Alexander claimed that he had taken the child to play in a bounce house that evening at Royal Crest Apartments. But he told the Judge Gracie Lewis on Friday that he’d taken the child to play in a bounce house the day before. Yet he never reported the bounce house to the doctor or the investigators at the time.

On Friday afternoon, the prosecutor read two statements that Alexander had signed not long after the incident occurred. In the first statement, he claimed that the child had fallen off the couch. In the second statement, he admitted to shaking the child. He was charged with a first degree felony.

Not long after he was arrested for injury to a child causing severe bodily harm, he got into trouble for forging a check, leading police on a high-speed chase, stealing a car and falsely claiming that a car was stolen.

Alexander brought a couple of character witnesses, but one had only recently met him and the other didn’t know Alexander was on probation.

As she read his sentencing, Judge Lewis told Alexander, “I’ve given you multiple chances.” Alexander will receive credit for his time he has already served in jail. His attorneys believe that he could parole out within six months.

Exactly this. People are far too retarded to understand the case details
Prominent leftists within the media and on social media purposely misunderstand/misinterpret the Rittenhouse case so it's politically convenient to them. It has less to do with them not understanding it and more to do with the fact it's good propaganda to pretend like Kyle Rittenhouse gunned down a bunch of innocent black people in a rampage for fun because he's a KKK Nazi extremist.
 
Yeah, bringing a knife to school, and especially using it on another student, is absolutely grounds for expulsion.
it is a mandatory expulsion even, the school doesn't even have a say in whether they get to enforce it, the state requires these schools to kick these people the fuck out once they bring weapons to school.

Incredible. And promising to not speak to the media again until the trial is a joke. They just can't stand the "disrespect"
You know that they'll keep showing up in the media. Their lawyer is a known BLM agitator.
They should stay out of the media, since this presser has been absurdly bad publicity in an already volatile situation, but that honestly might be the point.

Kind of wondering if they're trying to stir up the race riots again as a method of hurting Trump. It's kind of surprising how BLM and similar groups went quiet for the past 4 years, but now shit's picking back up.
 
Karmelo’s mom is crying and screaming on TV about how they’re the victims and her 13 year old daughter is “afraid to sleep in her own bed.” Is she scared her brother is gonna stab her?

She’s also talking (shouting) about how they’re a stable family that puts God first and believes in the laws of Texas and the Constitution. What part of Texas laws say it’s cool to bring a knife to a track meet and stab a kid to telling you to leave? Jeff Metcalf didn’t stab anyone after being asked to leave.
