Sure, here’s a slightly longer version that keeps the key details but adds a bit more context:A tragic stabbing at a Texas high school track meet on April 2, 2025, resulted in the death of 17-year-old Austin Metcalf. The incident occurred at Frisco High School’s Kuykendall
Stadium during a district championship event. The suspect, 17-year-old Karmelo Anthony from Centennial High School, has been arrested and charged with murder. According to police, Karmelo admitted to the stabbing, claiming he acted in self-defense after a verbal argument turned physical.Collin County District Attorney Greg Willis confirmed that due to a 2005 Supreme Court ruling (Roper v. Simmons), Karmelo cannot be sentenced to death or life without parole, as he was 17 at the time of the crime. If convicted, he faces a sentence ranging from 5 to 99 years in prison.
