Chilling Footage Reveals Teen's Desperate Escape After Fatal Stadium Stabbing

Share Post

Teen killer Karmelo Anthony’s desperate bid to flee the scene after he stabbed Austin Metcalf was captured on newly released surveillance video.

Metcalf and his Memorial High School track teammates in the stands of Kuykendall Stadium in Frisco, Texas, could be seen huddling beneath a yellow tent on the rainy April 2, 2025, security camera footage released by the Collin County District court.

The group of student athletes appeared to be quiet and calm before Anthony, who witnesses said provoked a fight, came underneath the tent.

The moment Anthony stabbed Metcalf can be partially seen at the top of the tent, with a person hitting the floor of the stands, causing all the students to jump from their seats and run.

Anthony emerges from the back of the tent seconds after he stabbed Metcalf with the 3.5 inch blade and immediately runs down the stands and heads out of the stadium.

One unidentified individual briefly chased the then-17-year-old, but they gave up pursuit as Anthony sprinted away, the footage showed.

Witnesses said Anthony, a student at Frisco Centennial High School, had refused to leave the tent after being asked to do so by Memorial High School students, including Metcalf.

A 15-year-old at the scene testified that Anthony “tried to provoke us.”

“F–k y’all. I’m not going to leave. Y’all are a bunch of p–sies. Y’all not going to do anything,” Anthony said before the stabbing, according to the witness.

Disturbing audio from the 911 calls made just moments after Metcalf was stabbed were released Friday revealing the track stars harrowing last moments.

“My friend’s bleeding everywhere,” one student told 911 dispatchers.

“FIght through! Fight through! You’re doing good,” a track coach performing CPR could be heard saying in the background of the call.

Anthony, 19, was convicted of murder and sentenced to 35 years in prison.
