Deliberation and Verdict: Only after the jury retires and deliberates will a verdict be returned.
Until that point, claims of a “shocking verdict” or “death sentencing” are unfounded rumors with no basis in verified news or official records. The judicial process is still underway, and outcomes remain unsettled.
The case of Karmelo Anthony and the fatal stabbing of Austin Metcalf is one of deep tragedy, legal complexity, and profound community impact. While speculation and emotionally charged narratives circulate online, the only verified facts are those confirmed by law enforcement, court records, and reputable news reporting:
A fatal stabbing occurred at a high school event in Frisco, Texas — resulting in the death of 17-year-old athlete Austin Metcalf.
Karmelo Anthony was charged with first-degree murder and has been indicted.
He has been released on reduced bond with conditions and is awaiting trial.
Trial is scheduled for June 1, 2026; no verdict has yet been reached and no sentencing has been issued.
