According to Frisco police, a high school student fatally stabbed another student during a fight at a high school track meet on Wednesday morning, and he is now being charged with murder.

At around 10 a.m., police were called to Kuykendall Stadium after a 17-year-old stabbed another 17-year-old during a confrontation, they confirmed to NBC 5.

According to Frisco police, the teen passed away in spite of life-saving actions taken by the police and firefighters, such as administering blood and performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

In an interview with NBC 5 on Tuesday afternoon, Jeff Metcalf revealed that his son, Austin Metcalf, was killed when a fellow student who was carrying a knife became agitated after being informed that he was seated incorrectly.

Austin’s twin brother, Hunter, was present during the altercation and not only witnessed his brother being stabbed but also attempted to halt the bleeding, according to Metcalf, who said his son did not know the student who had attacked him.

He claims that his brother Hunter was born two minutes before Austin. They couldn’t be separated.

“They were twins, identical twins, and his brother was holding on to him, trying to make it stop bleeding, and he died in his brother’s arms,” said Jeff Metcalf. “They said he wasn’t breathing when I hurried up there and saw him on the gurney. I was so alarmed that I had to locate his brother and we hurried to the hospital after I noticed all the blood and the location of the wound. We prayed, and although I don’t understand God’s plan, they were unable to save him. This is murder.

According to Jeff Metcalf, his son had a 4.0, was the football team’s MVP, and had a promising future that included attending college.

“He was on the right track,” stated Jeff Metcalf. “Many people loved him. He was a leader.

“What sort of parents did this child have? I’m not trying to pass judgment. What did he learn? He killed my son by stabbing him in the heart while at a track meet with a knife. When they asked the man to move because he was in the wrong place, he bowed. “This is murder,” declared Jeff Metcalf. “I’ve already forgiven this individual, you know that. Already. Things are handled by God. I will be taken care of by God. My family will be taken care of by God.

The memories left to the victim’s father include the hunting excursions the three have taken since the boys were two years old. In the hopes that Austin would finally catch his first hog, the three of them went hunting last weekend. “He did,” his father said.

A GoFundMe has been established by the family to assist with funeral costs and to support Austin’s brother’s education and counseling.

Karmelo Anthony, 17, was taken into custody and charged with Metcalf’s murder, according to Frisco police. Anthony’s bond has not yet been set, according to the police, and it’s unclear if he has hired a lawyer to represent him.

“The Frisco Police Department grieves with all those affected by this devastating loss and extends its deepest condolences to the victim’s family, students, and staff who are experiencing unimaginable pain,” the agency stated on Wednesday. “The department is collaborating with the Frisco Independent School District and will continue to provide any support they need during this incredibly difficult time.”

The location of the stabbing at the stadium was not disclosed by the police, but according to Texas Sky Ranger, multiple officers were observed looking into a section of the stands near the track.

More than 100 students from eight schools participated in the 11-5A championship district track meet, which was held at the stadium on Wednesday morning, according to a Frisco ISD spokesperson. Following the stabbing, the stadium was promptly secured, the match was halted, and all students were sent back to their home campuses “with expediency,” according to the district.

There were no other reported injuries.

According to the district, counselors will be on hand during the grieving process, and Austin’s passing will be recognized during Thursday’s second period.

The investigation is still ongoing, according to Frisco police. Anyone with information is asked to text the message FRISCOPD and the tip to 847411, or call the police department’s emergency line at 972-292-6010.
