Several photos showing people allegedly urinating on Austin Metcalf's grave have surfaced online after Karmelo Anthony was found guilty of the fatal stabbing in Frisco. The incident had taken place after an altercation between Metcalf and Anthony at the high school track meet in the Texas city last year.
The photos, which appear to be AI-generated, show Black people urinating on Metcalf's grave and have sparked outrage among the dead teen's supporters, as the case has taken on racial overtones.
A right-wing page on X noted, 'There's a new disturbing social media trend of BLM activists posting edited images of themselves urinating on Austin's grave. You can't get much lower than this.'
Many also shared the photos individually and made their opinions clear, with one person writing, 'Karmelo Anthony murders Austin Metcalf. His supporters respond by literally pissing on the kid's grave. This is the America some people are fighting to protect.'
Others who posted such photos were also called out online, with one page noting, 'Mari Hicks posted a photograph of herself pretending to urinate on the grave of Austin Metcalf, a 17-year-old boy who was murdered and whose memory should be treated with basic human decency. What kind of person mocks and desecrates the final resting place of a murdered child?'
Austin Metcalf's family has reportedly received death threats, even as Anthony was sentenced to 35 years in jail for the fatal stabbing.
