Summary
Newly public trial exhibits show the seconds before and after Karmelo Anthony fatally stabbed 17-year-old Austin Metcalf at a Frisco track meet on April 2, 2025, giving the public its first view of evidence shown to jurors.
Body-camera footage captures Anthony in custody saying, "He put his hands on me" and later, "I'm not alleged. I did it," while released photos include the 3.5-inch folding knife, a blood-soaked jacket and Metcalf's chest wound.
Prosecutors said Anthony pulled the knife from his backpack after Metcalf and his brother confronted him in their team's tent; Anthony admitted the stabbing but argued self-defense.
The release follows Anthony's first-degree murder conviction and 35-year sentence this month, with parole eligibility after half the term.
Judge John Roach said he authorized the release for transparency after trial, while Metcalf's father said the footage undercuts online claims that Anthony was jumped or faced a four-on-one attack.
