Karmelo Anthony convicted in murder trial; evidence images released

Karmelo Anthony has been convicted of murder and sentenced to 35 years in prison for the fatal stabbing of Austin Metcalf at a Dallas-area track meet last April. Newly released evidence from the trial includes photographs of the knife used, Anthony's backpack, and surveillance footage from moments leading up to the altercation. This evidence has not been publicly shown before due to courtroom restrictions. Anthony's legal team is pursuing an appeal, citing the physical size difference between him and Metcalf as a key argument, but jurors found this did not justify his actions. Law enforcement was present at the Collin County courthouse when the verdict was reached on June 9, 2026.
