FRISCO, Texas (TCN) — A 17-year-old is in custody after he allegedly fatally stabbed another student in the heart during an argument about where the suspect was sitting.
On April 2 at around 10 a.m., the Frisco police and fire departments responded to a call about a stabbing at a track meet and located the critically injured 17-year-old victim. Paramedics and police officers rendered aid, including CPR and blood administration, but the victim died at the scene. Police identified the suspect as Karmelo Anthony and said he was arrested and charged with first-degree murder.
Frisco Police identified the victim as Austin Metcalf, a student at Frisco Memorial High School.
Metcalf’s father, Jeff Metcalf, told KDFW-TV that Anthony allegedly got angry at Metcalf because he told Anthony he wasn’t sitting in the correct area. The two went to different high schools, and Metcalf allegedly said the area they were in was for Memorial High School students.
Jeff Metcalf said Anthony “wound up stabbing him in the heart and killing him, all over someone sitting in the wrong spot at a track meet.”
KXAS-TV reports Jeff Metcalf said Austin Metcalf’s identical twin “was holding on to him, trying to make it stop bleeding, and he died in his brother’s arms.”
Metcalf was reportedly a star student with a 4.0 GPA and was named the MVP of his football team.
