Karmelo Anthony’s self-defense claim in the stabbing death of fellow teen Austin Metcalf in Texas won’t get him acquitted of murder charges — even despite raising $600,000 for a big-name lawyer, a veteran defense attorney claimed. The 18-year-old from Frisco, who is black, is charged with first-degree murder for fatally stabbing 17-year-old Metcalf, who died in his twin brother’s arms on April 2, 2025. 5 Karmelo Anthony walks free on a $250,000 bond, with house arrest in the stabbing death of Austin Metcalf.
