Moment Karmelo Anthony stabs Austin Metcalf and flees revealed in new surveillance footage

In a chilling turn of events, newly released surveillance footage has unveiled the frantic moments following the stabbing of Austin Metcalf by Karmelo Anthony. The incident, which occurred on April 2, 2025, at Kuykendall Stadium in Frisco, Texas, has left the community reeling and seeking answers.

The video, shared by the Collin County District Court, shows Metcalf and his fellow track teammates from Memorial High School gathered under a yellow tent, seemingly at ease despite the rainy weather. However, the atmosphere shifted dramatically when Anthony, a student from Frisco Centennial High School, approached the group after reportedly being asked to leave.

Witnesses claim that Anthony instigated a confrontation, with one student recalling his provocative remarks: “F–k y’all. I’m not going to leave. Y’all are a bunch of p–sies. Y’all not going to do anything.” The tension escalated, and the footage captures the harrowing moment when Anthony allegedly stabbed Metcalf with a 3.5-inch blade.

As chaos erupted, the video shows students leaping from their seats in shock, while Anthony quickly fled the scene, sprinting down the stands and out of the stadium. An unidentified individual attempted to pursue him but soon abandoned the chase as Anthony disappeared from view.

In the aftermath, disturbing audio from 911 calls made by students revealed the urgency of the situation. One student could be heard frantically informing dispatchers, “My friend’s bleeding everywhere,” while a coach encouraged Metcalf to “fight through” as he performed CPR.

Ultimately, Karmelo Anthony, now 19, was convicted of murder and sentenced to 35 years in prison. The incident has sparked a wave of discussions about youth violence and the impact of such tragedies on communities.

As the dust settles, many are left wondering how such a senseless act could occur among young athletes. What steps can be taken to prevent future incidents like this?
