Karmelo Anthony is charged with murder for allegedly stabbing a 17-year-old at a high school track meet in Texas.
Anthony stabbed Austin Metcalf at a high school track meet at the David Kuykendall Stadium in Frisco, Texas, last Wednesday.
The teenager was left to die in his twin brother’s arms as police officers arrested the suspect.
After an argument on the field, Anthony stabbed Metcalf in the chest.
Now, social media is another uproar.
One X account has pointed out how Karmelo Anthony might not get a fair shot in a trial just based on the city where he allegedly committed the murder.
“There is no way that Karmelo Anthony (Black) will receive a fair trial in FRISCO, TEXAS — for self defense which caused the death of Austin Metcalf(white),” the page said.
“As of 2023, the Black or African American population in Frisco, Texas, is approximately 8.53% of the total population, which translates to about 17.9k individuals.”
Here is how social media reacted:
“That was still too high of a percentage to keep Austin safe, unfortunately,” one person said.
“I know thinking long term isn’t a strong suit for you people but yall be careful with how yall want to set this low standard for acceptable self defense. Let me ask you this; Who is more likely to gang up on someone, who is more likely to be the aggressor, and who is more violent? Yall set this low acceptable standard and Planned Parenthood won’t be the only ones wiping out the black youth. But you don’t have the ripples in your brain necessary to contemplate what I’m saying,” a second person added.
“Because it wasn’t self defense, that boy is clearly unhinged,” a third person said of Karmelo Anthony.

“Blacks want to raise their kids in predominantly white neighborhoods because it’s generally safer there. Then when their black kid murders one of the white kid, the only murder on record for that town, all of the sudden those white people are the problem. That’s really rich,” a fourth person commented.
“Are you an enabler?” one final person asked.
Karmelo is charged with murder in the fatal stabbing of Austin at a track meet.
He allegedly confessed to the killing.
One officer who responded to the scene said Anthony told him unprompted, without being asked any questions about the incident, “I was protecting myself.”
When the officer advised another responding officer that he had “the alleged suspect,” Anthony reportedly responded, “I’m not alleged; I did it.”
Anthony has been charged with first-degree murder.
