Independent journalist Breanna Morello has revealed shocking details about Austin Metcalf’s murder, detailing what the medical examiner said about the wound to his chest. Karmelo Anthony’s trial was underway until Texas prosecutors rested their case Saturday, June 6.
Anthony pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder in the April 2, 2025, killing of Metcalf. He claimed he stabbed 17-year-old Metcalf to death in self-defense.
The medical examiner, Dr. Elizabeth Ventura, testified that Austin was stabbed once in the chest, piercing a portion of his heart and the bone on his center of the chest.
Both Austin Metcalf’s parents and some of his family left the room to avoid hearing the details, as did Karmelo Anthony’s mother.
The murder case involves a confrontation between Anthony, who is black, and Metcalf, who was white, at a high school track meet in Frisco.
Anthony could face a possible sentence of 5-99 years or life in prison if convicted.
