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.

He's a violent murderer, has zero remorse, and undoubtedly will do it again if give the chance.

This isn't about money it's about locking this rabid animal away so no one else's son or daughter has to die

Death penalty would accomplish the same.

And I'm not super in favour of the death penalty but vs. three decades you've pretty much taken somebody's life anyway.

 

[Clotso Coof]

And at the end of three decades of misery, a 47 year old man is spat out into society with no experience of normal life and interaction to do what?

He'll shack up with a serious of single mothers, beating them and molesting their kids.

I imagine we end up with a reverse Chauvin type where some skinhead stabs him as soon as he enters

That would be the funniest outcome. Then Austin's POS father would go to Karmello's funeral and cry.

The thing about prison is that people will adapt. He will make friends in there, his family will visit him, he might get a GF though some pen pal program. What is hell for the first few years becomes the new norm and he will do just fine on the tax payers dime, then you will have the parole drama when the victims family needs to constantly petition the courts not to let him out early which just beings up old wounds instead of providing closure to the victimsand their families. I used to be against the death penalty, but every day I am starting to think it might be the only option for true justice, nothing says closure like the bad man dead and buried.

Karmelo is used to a highly pampered and comfortable upper middle class existence though.

The reason most ghetto niggers don't care if they go to prison is because a cell is at least as if not more comfortable than their filthy, cockroach infested, one room apartment with gunshots and alarms going off every few seconds.

Karmelo is going from a 900k Mcmansion and a brand new leased caddy to a cell, probably for life.

That's gonna hurt.

 

[TheClappening]

The DA of that county is a real hard charger and has a history of pushing for the max sentence in similar violent crimes. I think there won't be any plea deal offered at all.

Have they had a high profile case like this before?

Remember, the question isn't whether a rational jury could return a unanimous verdict. With the evidence that's public it would take some truly shocking new evidence to aqcuit Anthony.

The real question is if the state can be thorough enough to not allow any lying niggers into the jury box. We've seen that some niggers would automatically acquit their fellow nigger, evidence be damned, for being a nigger and niggering a honky.

 

[BeffJezos]

Best possible outcome is this gorilla gets shanked quickly, so the taxpayers aren't on the hook for essentially a really nice house to keep this POS alive.

It's insanely fucked up that taxpayers have to spend so much money just to keep him away from society. Especially when he almost assuredly will never do anything productive with his life.

Just kill the fucker and be done with it. Save some money.

They let a literal BLM supporter sit on Chauvin’s jury after lying about his political affiliation and the legal system didn’t see that as grounds for appeal.

There was a TV show named ‘Homicide: Life on the streets’ based on the nonfiction book ‘Homicide’ by David Simon. In the book there was one case that turned my stomach.

Young white male cop was talking to a nigger corner drug dealer. Not trying to arrest him or anything. Well, Pookie pulled a handgun and fired a shot upwards from under the cop’s chin. The shot blinded the cop and also left him unable to smell or taste. He had a wife and a newborn child.
Pookie walked from the trial because one female nigger on the jury refused to convict because she didn’t like Poh-leese.

A lot was made of the Zimmerman trial because the jury was 5 white women and a Latina. Yet you cannot allow niggers on a jury if you want a just outcome.

 

[The Taco Santo!]

if I had a nickle for everytime I heard "2 wrongs dont make a right" from an authority figure I'd be retired by now

With ghetto niggers, it's "You better not let that guy get over on you, physically or otherwise, without a comeback or you'll have a victim/pussy rep forever."

It wasn't so much that he was a BLM supporter, it was that he lied about being a BLM supporter. If he had been truthful about attending BLM rallies, and Chauvin's attorney allowed him onto the jury, that's on him. But he lied, and wasn't found out until after the verdict. IT's a travesty that that wasn't grounds for an automatic mistrial

I mean let's look at it in the opposite. If Anthony gets convicted, and it comes out one of the jurors was a KKK grand wizard but lied about it, that conviction would be overturned faster than you can say 'nigger".

 

[The Dude]

There's a YouTuber whose videos I've come across a few times. Guy spent ten years in prison and much of his content is talking about life inside the klink, things like the politics of being an inmate and dealing with the other inmates and the gangs and cliques in prison. He has been focusing on Karamello a lot since the stabbing entered the news, and in his opinion Karamello will not be having a good time in the slammer. A few of his videos have discussed that prisoners are already informed about the kid due to smuggled smart phones, and will be very unwelcoming to him. Both the white gangs like Aryan Brotherhood, and black gangs will be looking to make his life as an inmate Hell, or possibly worse. There have been photos of Karamello circulating where he's flashing gang signs while not being a gang member, which will not go well. Most gangs require a prospect to take a beating from the gang members to show he can take a hit, stay in the fight, and not run like a bitch. Karamello has already proven that he's terrified of taking a beating since he chose to stab Metcalf instead of just during it out. There are other things that will make him a target in prison, such as his big mouth, shit talking, and egotistical behavior that was on full display in that video of him playing football at his old school. If he's lucky the black gangs will protect him in exchange for him being their bitch and doing other favors for him.

They'll know all about the 632,000 in easy money his family got on GiveSendGo. Gangs will extort the shit out of Karmelo. Pay up nigga, or you gonna get raped.

 

[Maker's Mark]

Sad that he can't be strapped into the electric chair. I thought for sure being tried as an adult would guarantee it until I read the last page.

(I don't know why average cost of incarceration is umpteen times higher in California than Texas).

I bet the prison guard union in California is at least partly to blame. I remember a story out of the state maybe 20 years ago where an inmate wound up brain dead. Prison guard union rules say that a certain number of guards have to be posted at all times for any inmate in the hospital even if the prisoner is brain dead or quadriplegic. There are also the absolutely obscene pension rules in California for any public sector worker.

I would also imagine labor laws play into it too. Prisons need to maintain a certain ratio of guards to prisoners, but California also has strict labor laws that limit how much can people work and their entitled breaks lengths. So now you need to have a some redundancy so the extra guards can cover other guards when they are on break in order to satisfy both the required ratio and labor laws. Now mix in a union that expands the amount of breaks a guard can get and now we need even more guards to cover the gaps.

Did interviews afterwards as well, iirc. And it wasn't "merely" being part of BLM, he was even wearing a top that said "Get Your Knee Off Our Necks."



The jurors were going in every day past angry crowds and past high security fences. It must have been very clear to them that if this juror (Brandon Mitchell) decided to share their names after not finding Chauvin guilty, their lives were going to be at risk.

Yes, that’s what I said. Go back and read it again.

 

[The Nothingness]

"Of the 70 U.S. soldiers executed during WWII by the Army, 55 were Black — despite Black soldiers comprising a much smaller portion of the Army. Many of these were for crimes against civilians, especially in Europe"


Wow, really makes you think

(also it was raped and murdered)

Maybe this scene from Glory was not Hollywood taking liberties with historical accuracy.

 

[deleuzeon]

And I'm not super in favour of the death penalty but vs. three decades you've pretty much taken somebody's life anyway.

I think it's a fair call on prisoner's choice between death sentence and exile to a remote, rocky island. As usual the ancients had this all figured out.

 

[Mike Patton Official]

How poetic would it be if he got stabbed in the heart in jail.

 

[CowPox]

There's niggers who have done worse than this chimp and gotten out of jail in less than ten years.
