On April 2, 2025, during a high school track meet at Kuykendall Stadium in Frisco, Texas, 17-year-old Karmelo Anthony allegedly stabbed fellow student Austin Metcalf following a dispute over seating. According to the police report, Anthony, a student at Centennial High School, was sitting under the Memorial High School team tent when Metcalf, a Memorial student, asked him to leave. Witnesses stated that Anthony warned, "Touch me and see what happens," before Metcalf either touched or grabbed him. Anthony then reportedly retrieved a knife from his bag and stabbed Metcalf once in the chest. Metcalf collapsed and later died despite CPR efforts.

Upon arrest, Anthony told officers he acted in self-defense, stating, "He put his hands on me. I told him not to." He also inquired if Metcalf would be okay and whether his actions could be considered self-defense. Anthony was charged with first-degree murder and initially held on a $1 million bond, which was later reduced to $250,000. He was released under house arrest with electronic monitoring. The case has drawn significant public attention, with fundraising efforts for both families and discussions about self-defense laws and youth violence.
