Summary
Karmelo Anthony was moved into isolation in the Collin County Jail infirmary after a jury convicted him Tuesday of murdering 17-year-old Austin Metcalf and a judge sentenced him to 35 years.
The sentence stems from the April 2, 2025 stabbing of Metcalf during a high school track meet in Frisco, Texas; Anthony had faced up to life in prison.
Anthony had remained free during the trial but was taken into custody immediately after the verdict, with transfer to a Texas state prison still pending.
Court records show Anthony has already filed a notice of appeal, and he will be eligible for parole after serving half of the 35-year term.
