Witness testimony in Karmelo Anthony's murder trial revealed Austin Metcalf's heartbreaking last words before his death. The trial was underway until Texas prosecutors rested their case on June 6.
Anthony pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder in the April 2, 2025, killing of Metcalf, claiming he stabbed 17-year-old Metcalf to death in self-defense.
A Memorial High School student-athlete testified that students repeatedly asked Anthony to leave the team tent, and that Anthony allegedly challenged students to fight.
Moments later, a second witness, a 16-year-old Memorial High School student, told the court that Metcalf's final words, which he uttered immediately after being attacked, were, 'He f------ stabbed me.'
A recently graduated 18-year-old from Memorial High School broke down in tears while recounting how he heard Metcalf 'screaming for help' after being stabbed.
Anthony is accused of stabbing Metcalf to death during a rain delay at a high school track meet, and if convicted, he could face a possible sentence of 5-99 years or life in prison.
