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.

It's interesting how little the media is covering this, I think they know it's a lose/lose scenario.

If anthony gets convicted black people will likely peacefully protest in cities that just happen to be on fire.
If he walks then whites might riot... but more likely it will 100% give more recruitment ammo and political sway to the right. The left has figured out that this issue is not something that the majority agrees with them on and they probably want to avoid it like the plague for the next 4 years.

There's allegedly video of the stabbing, the fact that it hasn't been shown to the public means that it looks very very bad for the nigger.

My prediction is 30-40 years.

 

[YouGuysAren'tThatSmart]

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.

Are you talking about JumpSuitPablo? There's another guy that did 24 years for homicide when he was 18/19 his name is Dubbes and he makes fun of that faggot and says he's full of shit. He actually did time in a Level 1 prison.

I know a more serious charge makes people feel better, but it's also harder to convict with a higher burden of evidence, so this could take him from 15 years to getting off with no prison because prosecution couldn't make the more aggravated charge stick. I hope I'm wrong.

see Daniel Penny

the American justice system is far from perfect, but one thing it mandates is that when you accuse someone of something, you have to prove that. you're not allowed to move the goalposts

if penny's prosecutor started with the lesser criminally negligent homicide, it's likely penny would have picked up a felony. instead, she went for manslaughter and he walked free.

If black people decide to riot, they'll probably do it away from some hispanic areas, like in Chicago for example.

I would also imagine labor laws play into it too

That would be another one of the causes. But I'm willing to bet the biggest slice of the pie is pensions for retired guards and other prison staff. The California state pension system is easily gamed and as a result obscene amounts are paid to even low-level staff - +++$200K per annum is by no means unusual.

 

[marvlouslie]

Karmelo won't last one fucking week in big boy prison. He's out here throwing up Vice Lords gang signs, pretending he's all about that thug life. They will KILL this kid for making them look bad.

Does NY not have lesser includeds?

I remember Rittenhouse'a defense team had to make a tough decision on whether to include lesser charges for the jury to consider.

With no lesser charges, it's all or nothing, but if he did get convicted it was life.

With lesser charges, it was an even lower chance he got convicted of the main charges, but also a higher likelihood he gets convicted of a lesser and earns a felony record and prison time

rittenhouse is another great example. zimmerman is another one - even at the time, i remember a lot of people openly saying that it was a risky move by the prosecutor

casey anthony, oj simpson. arguably angela davis, and some of the chicago 7

also happened with the weather underground (famous obama commie brainwasher bill ayers was railroaded by the feds and illegally surveilled in an attempt to get him on more serious charges, and he got off on a procedural technicality even though he totally did it - if the cops and feds had gone after him for lesser felonies, and done everything by the book, he probably would have enjoyed prison)

Agreed. I am just hoping it means they have video evidence that leaves no doubt in anybody's mind. Unlike the morons charging Casey Anthony with 1st degree w/o even knowing how Caylee died.

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.

His family has 850k on the outs. They will be fighting to "protect" him and extort that money.

I haven't been paying attention lately. There are pictures of him flashing Vice Lords?

Is this it? I was pretty sure Vice Lords was thumb, index, and middle up as it forms the V-L with the index used for both. But any random assortment of fingers can flash whatever and 10 fingers can only do so much. It looks like it could be anything.

It's honestly insane that some gangbanger figured out they can spell "blood" using both hands. I'd join up just for that.

It's the Insane Vice Lords that he's falsely repping. Gangs treat this shit like we would stolen valor. This doesn't "look" like anything. This is a kid playing pretend and not realizing the danger he's just put himself in.

It depends on the defense.

If the defense shows self-defense, then no lesser charges can apply because self-defense is justifiable homicide (i.e. there can be no crime).

But a defense can instead try to argue that the crime that occurred is manslaughter and not murder.

"Your honor, I think if you look at my client's academic transcript and mental evaluation you'll see that he had no way of knowing a knife to the heart would have been fatal... in fact, feel free to ask him how he would feel had he not eaten breakfast this morning."

Not sure about that. Rittenhouse's defense was always self defense, but they included lesser charges for the jury to deliberate on.

I mean, sure, if the jury buys self defense that should be a full acquittal of all chargers, but sometimes the lessers get included by the prosecution hoping the jury will compromise.

I have to wonder if they dare raise self defense for Anthony, though. If he had done, say, one thing wrong in his use of force, maybe. But from the evidence we've seen, he did almost everything wrong. And when your self defense claim fails ("I deliberately stabbed him, causing his death, but I was justified for reasons of self defense"), all that you're left with is "I deliberately stabbed him, causing his death, but I was justified for reasons of self defense"

Although, apparently you can be cleared of use of force and still be convicted of something else. That one doordasah guy who shot the prankster was acquitted of malicious wounding(?), but convicted of discharge of a firearm inside a building. Which still doesn't make sense to me, but juries are juries

The only actual crime that occurred is the prankster serial harasser of strangers lived through the gunshot wound.

 

[BeffJezos]

It's actually crazy how nigger's nigger parents enable him. If I stabbed a kid and posted photos myself with guns and throwing up gang signs, my parents would be telling me that I fucked up and not to drop the soap. In no circumstance would they be telling everyone that I'm just a victim of racism and I'm really just a good boy. It's actually insane.

Then again, seeing how they've wisely spent their son's legal fund to this point, it's not really that crazy how Karmelo turned out. The nigger doesn't fall far from the tree.

Neely was still alive when Penny let him go, he died because he was actively ODing and the cops didn't want to touch him.

 

[That Guy Who Likes The Chili]

Don't celebrate too soon, he hasn't been convicted yet and all it takes is one nigger on that jury to get a deadlock

This is the most likely outcome. You're either going to get this or a white person who is just like his dad filled with malicious empathy who is going to say that his actions were due to systemic racism and intersectional injustice and other buzzwords and refuse to vote guilty.

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.

It's a great story. Too bad you're wrong.

From Wikishitty, but corroborated by the book (I picked it up on a lark): Gene Cassidy, a patrolman and close friend of Detective Sergeant Terry McLarney, was shot twice in the head at point-blank range in October 1987. Although initially expected to die or be left completely disabled by his injuries, Cassidy made a full mental recovery but was left blind and without his sense of smell or taste. A drug dealer named Clifton "Butchie" Frazier was eventually convicted of attempted murder in the first degree and sentenced to life in prison plus 20 years.

Unless that nigger got some kind of deal after the fact, fucker is probably still in prison.

Thanks for the correction, I was quoting from memory and I haven’t refreshed myself on the book in about ten years. I do vividly remember the line “I don’t like Poh-leece” line attributed to a black jury member, I will have to see if I can track down the part of the book that quotes it.
