Summary
$634,000 raised for Karmelo Anthony and his family was used not just for legal defense but for relocation, living costs, transportation, counseling and security, according to the now-removed GiveSendGo page.
GiveSendGo said the campaign, launched April 15, 2025, was closed because its stated pretrial purpose had been completed and the money had already been dispersed over the past year for lawful uses including family relocation.
Anthony was convicted Tuesday of murdering 17-year-old Austin Metcalf in a stabbing at a Frisco, Texas, high school track meet and was sentenced to 35 years; he has filed a notice of appeal.
A separate fundraiser has reportedly resurfaced through family spokesperson Dominique Alexander, while the family's current location remains unclear after leaving Frisco amid what the campaign described as escalating threats.
