BREAKING: Karmelo Anthony broke down in tears after the verdict was read, crying and shaking as his defense attorney comforted him, Brooke Taylor reports. Anthony could now face up to life in prison. During the sentencing phase, Anthony's mother pleaded with the jury for mercy, describing him as her firstborn son and expressing her deep love for him through tears. Prosecutors cross-examained her by asking whether she could still maintain a relationship with her son if he were behind bars — unlike the Metcalf family. The same jury will now decide how long Anthony remains in prison.

A jury has found Karmelo Anthony guilty of the m*rder of Austin Metcalf.

According to CNN, after hours of deliberation in Anthony’s trial for the fatal stabbing of Austin Metcalf at a Frisco, Texas track meet in April 2025, he was found guilty.

A jury rejected Karmelo Anthony’s claims of self-defense. Most people who testified were students who described a heated exchange over Anthony’s refusal to leave a tent that belonged to the team from Memorial High School in Frisco.

Anthony faces between 5 and 99 years in prison.

BREAKING: A jury has found Karmelo Anthony guilty in the murder of 17-year-old Austin Metcalf. Anthony admitted to stabbing Metcalf but claimed he acted in self-defense. Witnesses testified that Metcalf and other student-athletes repeatedly asked Anthony to leave a Memorial High School team tent during a rain delay at the track meet. Students said Anthony responded with threats and became increasingly confrontational before a brief physical altercation ended when Metcalf was stabbed in the chest.
