We are learning more as both the state and the defense have rested their case in the murder trial of Frisco ISD student Karmelo Anthony. He is the Texas student who is accused of fatally stabbing 17-year-old Austin Metcalf at a 2025 track meet. Police said Anthony and Metcalf got into an argument over seating in the stadium stands on April 2, 2025, which escalated when Anthony stabbed Metcalf in the chest with a pocketknife.
LiveNOW”s Shawna Khalafi is speaking with defense attorney Jacqueline Goodman after the state presented testimony from first responders, law enforcement, and several teenage eyewitnesses. The Next Generation Action Network, an activist group that has shown support for Anthony and his family, held a news conference outside the courthouse during the lunch break. Founder Dominque Alexander called for continued peace. "People have traveled from all across this country, and we thank you for that.
But we remain to continue to ask you to do it in revolutionary peace. Do it as if your child was fighting for his life right now," he said. "Please, please. What we've seen, it seems like more attention has been given on what's going on outside the court than what is going on in the court and I have to say something." Subscribe to LiveNOW from FOX!
