The videos circulating online capture officers detaining Karmelo Anthony at a high school track meet in Frisco, Texas.

Audio Of 911 Call After The Incident Between Anthony & Metcalf Surfaces
Fox News also shared an audio from the 911 call following the incident between Karmelo and Metcalf. The caller submitted the call at 10:02 a.m. on April 2, 2025. The caller tells the dispatcher that someone stabbed an athlete and that an Army veteran was applying pressure to the wound. The person on the line also says that Metcalf was losing consciousness and stopped breathing, then later reports that Austin appeared to be breathing again. While the caller speaks with the 911 operator, a man shouts, “Stay with me, Austin!” As the call continues, the caller adds, “There’s a lot of blood. He’s not breathing.” The operator then walks the man through the steps to control Austin’s bleeding. Someone then shouts again, “Come on Austin. Fight through, Austin.”
The Latest Update On Karmelo Anthony
As The Shade Room previously reported, Karmelo Anthony began serving his 35-year prison sentence at Wallace Pack Unit after a jury convicted him of first-degree murder on June 9. Although he is now in custody, his legal team filed a notice of appeal on June 10. The filing will allow the defense to challenge his conviction. Legal experts believe the appeal may question whether the court properly conducted the trial. However, Newsweek reports that the appellate process could take months or even longer.
