The police have Karmelo Anthony under house arrest.
The father of a teenage boy stabbed at a track meet has asked the school to stop recognizing the suspected attacker.
Austin Metcalf was stabbed in the heart when he and his younger brother, Hunter, were at the track and field championship at Kuykendall Stadium in Frisco on April 2.
Karmelo Anthony, aged 18, allegedly took a knife from his pocket during a fight over seating when the Lakers hosted the Timberwolves. It is said that Metcalf died embraced by his brother.
Officers in Dallas-Fort Worth informed NBC 5 that officers arrived on the scene around 10am and tried to save the victim, but he still died.
Anthony was arrested and charged by Frisco police and NBC News reports that he was permitted to leave jail under house arrest, according to NBCNews.
Recently, Jeffrey Metcalf, Anthony’s father, complained that Centennial High School awarded his son a diploma with such accusations unresolved.
Dominque Alexander, who represents Anthony, confirmed to the Daily Mail that a complaint had been filed.
Now we have a parent bringing a grievance against the agency to the TEA.
Following Anthony’s graduation, it has been reported that the suspect who stands accused will not join him, because he is still under house arrest.
Frisco ISD has been contacted by UNILAD for comment.
We have decided to start our gradation processes early. They have given him permission to graduate. It was literally as if they were trying to kick him out,” Alexander said last week.
Last month, Metcalf was present at a press conference organized by the Anthony family, who said they want to fight their son’s first-degree murder charge.
She pointed out that ‘lies and false claims’ spread about them in the past week which she says put her family at risk.
Previously, the parents of the man accused of the killing said their son protected himself when Austin allegedly assaulted him.
During the press conference, Metcalf pointed out that the police treated him with disrespect when they removed him from the room.
Their leader could have dragged me up [to the front] and apologized for my injury. Our condolences.’ The only response I can imagine giving is, ‘Can we pray, demonstrating our unity to the world’,” he said in the New York Post report.
