Seventeen-year-old Austin Metcalf, a talented and hard-working high school athlete, was preparing for college. But he’ll never make it there now, as he was viciously stabbed to death on April 2 at a track meet.
Austin was a football star at his Frisco, Texas, high school and was attending a track and field championship Wednesday when he told another school’s athlete, Karmelo Anthony, that he was sitting in the wrong seat. Karmelo then abruptly drew a knife and brutally stabbed Austin through the heart. The teen victim’s twin brother, Hunter, desperately rushed to Austin’s assistance, but Austin died in Hunter’s arms, according to the New York Post.
Commenting on the heart-trending tragedy, the devastated Hunter Metcalf told WFAA, “I tried to whip around as fast as I could. I looked at my brother and I’m not going to talk about the rest. I tried to help him.” It was too late by then. The Metcalfs had never met Anthony before, Hunter declared.
“It really was under 30 seconds, this altercation. I never met this kid in my life,” Hunter insisted. “We asked him to move. He started getting aggressive and talking reckless. And my brother stepped in and said, ‘You need to move.’ And [Anthony’s] like, ‘Make me move,’” Hunter continued. “All of the sudden, he grabbed his backpack.” Anthony pulled out a knife and drove it into Austin’s heart.
