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.

Anthony ran the boys' 100-meter dash in 12.38 seconds and was scheduled to compete in the long jump.

Eight schools competed at the meet, according to MileSplit.

Apparently austins dad was fired and the family was swatted 3 times . Is this true?

I checked on this, and while his dad wasn't fired, he chose to resign because of "hostility from co-workers" who were probably in fear of being doxxed or swatted themselves.

Him and his ex-wife were separately swatted and he "resigned" his job.

And this is after he kowtowed to the mob with his "My son's killer is just as much of a victim as he is" bullshit.

Moral of the story: Appeasement is feeding a crocodile hoping it eats you last. The crocodile won't even thank you for it either.

MentisWave takes an objective look at this happening.

He starts by saying Karmelo “turned himself in” but that’s incorrect. He was identified and apprehended by a school safety officer.

Edit: What also seems to have been lost in the black Twitter deluge of bullshit is that Karmelo wasn’t just peacefully sitting under the tent, he was mouthing off and being offensive. An eyewitness interviewed early on made this claim and it appears to have been squelched in the melee.



The most galling thing is that if Karmelo was displaying basic respect- “Hi,
I’m Karmelo, mind if I use your tent?”- this whole thing would have been a nothingburger. But the nigger was, of course, poisoned by his shitty insecure culture’s need to project an aura of social dominance and be a ‘tough guy’ even when depending on the charity of others.

If he was suspended from his school, would that make it trespassing if he were on the grounds of another school?

Any PPP "loans" in their past?

Probably. It's hard to say for certain because solid facts are scarce right now, but there has been a lot of talk that Karamello was suspended and was not competing that day, which means he didn't have permission to be there even if his school was competing at the meet. But that could be false information. If he showed up in just his street clothes and didn't have any track gear with him, then he definitely wasn't competing and had no reason to be there. It also makes the theory that he was there to steal shit from the other kids, which is a theory that I'm inclined to believe. Then again, I am an admitted racist and have a very negative view of Basketball-Americans, so I'm usually inclined to believe the worst about them until I've seen evidence proving otherwise.

Dude was at a track meet in the other team's tent with a knife. That nigger was there to steal.

I'm not even wasting time on this myself until it's confirmed. It's not like this piece of information will cause a revelation to the imbeciles defending Kamaro. "Oh, so you think you can just police him and tell him where he can and can't be?" It legitimately just turns the perimeter of where we're not allowed to tell him to leave into a bigger one.

The OP has his running times recorded so I am still confused on him being suspended or some shit. He had his track suit on so I think he was competing and did run. The suspension might be that rumor that he had a knife at school prior and got busted.

You're right, and thanks for the OP reminder. He couldn't have been suspended on the day of the murder because he quite clearly competed in the meet.

What also seems to have been lost in the black Twitter deluge of bullshit is that Karmelo wasn’t just peacefully sitting under the tent, he was mouthing off and being offensive.

I think this also puts paid to the "he was there to steal shit" theory (though I still wouldn't be a bit surprised if it's true), what with the calling attention to himself and all. More likely he wandered into the tent and was ignored so he started shit up to make himself look big.

 

[Twix Eatr]

I believe that was the article I linked or quoted earlier, but I didn't highlight that part since it's just coming from his Dad. Or maybe I didn't post due to that. It's too easy to read into it and speculate. I did find the "Mello" part interesting since it makes it more likely he was indeed talking to them at some point.

The blacks are citing the rain for why it was so cruel for Austin to suggest Karmelo to get out of their area. Christ almighty, just get the fuck back to your own team's side. It's track and field, you idgits, he'll have to long jump in that, too. They're oblivious to how stupid their comments make them sound; they're essentially saying they require the white people to de-escalate and prevent them from murdering over nothing. Smh.

 

[SITHRAK!]

That always struck me as being the pro-Metcalf equivalent of black twitter’s “they done smashed his phone”.
Karmelo was dressed in his school’s tracksuit, was acting like a loudmouth, and identified himself by his nickname. These are not the actions of a sneak thief.

Combine this with the earlier revelations that he had discussed wanting to stab someone for several days beforehand, and it begins to look like he may have been in the tent, not even to steal, but simply to provoke a fight where he'd be able to kill someone. He may have even had a self-defense angle in mind. "Just gotta make them touch me first."

 

[Twix Eatr]

There's no doubt that's what happened. He dared him to touch him and Austin only touched him literally. He then dared him to punch him, which Austin didn't, but he still stabbed him. Dog, you have like a 12-second 100m - if you feared for your life, you could've ran at any point (or just walked off). Shit's a joke.

 

[Scarlett Johansson]

This is probably the most long drawn out black on white crime case in a while, in that twist after twist is just coming out about them. I predict the next reveal to be that the murder victim was secretly closeted.

Since we're clearly doing some 6-dimensional sperging here:

What's the difference between a track meet and, say, a football game?

Even if he hadn't been competing that day, I don't think I have encountered a non-ticketed event where randos weren't allowed to wander in and out of the stadium.

I am pretty sure that I could go watch a track meet at the local high school, even though I am not a student, parent, teacher, coach, alumna, or otherwise affiliated with the school.

I'm not there as an obvious creep and nobody's going to stop me at the gate.

Karmelo rolls up to the event, who is going to tell him to fuck off?

I feel like the "ooooh, trespassing jogger" bit is sort of a canard.

You're not committing a crime until you are.

How many times do you see someone on one football team going across to the other team's side? How often do you see that in any sport?

 

[TJT]

Yes its a daytime track meet during school hours. You could at any point go to this track meet and watch. Your only limiting factor being your own classes and if you're fine with skipping them.

What you can't do, for any sport, is go into the visiting team locker room. Even my podunk smalltown highschool had a locker room for visiting teams. Why? This is where they put their shit. To include personal items. At a track meet, weather aside, this is the primary reason for having a tent or designated area for the team. A place to put your shit. This is where the robbery angle comes in. At any sporting event where all of the teams are outside and doing stuff all of their personal stuff is also out in the open. Its very easy to steal here because all it takes is a moment of distraction and someone walks off with a sports bag that doesn't belong to them and nobody is the wiser. What these retards are trying to do here is conflate IDK, public spectator areas with this. What we are talking about is the equivalent of going to the opposing team locker room or in baseball right into the other teams dugout. What purpose do you have for being there?

This happens absolutely all the time in all kinds of events. In no way is it limited to high school. Some years ago I was at a skydiving event and some people from out of town were competing in something. They had their gear under a little tent like this because it was Florida and hot. They got distracted at an event full of adults and someone walked off with $30k in skydiving parachutes.

A missing factor for me here is...so the witness says he's there and he's mouthing off. What does that mean exactly? Was he just by himself and started talking shit on his opponents? Or, was he with a friend and just being loud and rowdy and it was annoying. If so, what friend and why haven't we heard anything about them?

If he literally just sat down there and started talking shit out of nowhere then the whole idea that he was looking to provoke a fight really seems like the #1 possibility here. This isn't how you do theft. I think for sure he had a very juvenile understanding of what a self-defense claim would entail and that "he touched me first" would be all it came down to.

 

[TJT]

Maybe I am being too generous in that I hoped he was there with the intent to steal rather than to stab a stranger to death.

Can't quite say the nigger was getting uppity for being in his team's area without pissing off the school district. Nigger was there to steal, got caught, makes nigger posturing noises because he knows he was caught, then nigger moments when whitey doesn't bitch out completely.

The one time I saw it was municipal AYSO Soccer. One dad was really into cheering on his kid, he'd literally run up and down and both sides of the field to shout and shit. It got so bad, the Referees told him to go sit in the area for his kid's team. This was a town league for children, like 8-10 year olds.

As a kid, it just seemed like something you did; also helped keep drunk parents under control as they're more likely to start shit with the other team. As an adult, people have gotten shot/stabbed/killed over their favorite sports ball teams.

You don't go to other team's area.
