Hunter Metcalf, the victim’s twin brother, told WFAA that his brother was stabbed following an altercation with the suspect over a seat at the track meet. Hunter Metcalf explained that the suspect became “aggressive” after he was asked to move.
“I tried to whip around as fast as I could. I looked at my brother and I’m not going to talk about the rest,” he added. “I tried to help him.”
Describing the death of his brother as “senseless,” Hunter Metcalf said, “I don’t know why a person would do that to someone just over that little argument.”
Jeff Metcalf, the victim’s father, told NBC 5, “They were twins, identical twins, and his brother was holding on to him, trying to make it stop bleeding, and he died in his brother’s arms.”
The victim’s father added, “I rushed up there and I saw him on the gurney and I could tell — they said he wasn’t breathing. I could see all the blood, and I saw where the wound was, and I was very concerned, so I had to find his brother, and we rushed to the hospital. And we prayed, and it’s God’s plan, I don’t understand it, but they weren’t able to save him. This is murder.”
