Karmelo Anthony Tells Police “I Did It,” Claims Self-Defense in Deadly Stabbing Incident at David Kuykendall Stadium
On April 2, 2025, the Frisco community was shaken by a fatal stabbing that occurred during an athletic event at David Kuykendall Stadium.
The incident left one individual dead and prompted an immediate response from the Frisco Police Department (FPD).
The victim was identified as Austin Metcalf, an athlete participating in the event. Emergency dispatchers received multiple 911 calls reporting the stabbing, prompting FPD officers, including School Resource Officer Eduardo Cortez, to rush to the scene.
Upon arrival, Officer Cortez confirmed the victim’s condition and, with the assistance of bystanders, quickly identified the suspected attacker as 18-year-old Karmelo Anthony.
According to the official arrest report, Anthony—described as a Black male wearing a gray hoodie and blue sweatpants—made an unsolicited statement to Officer Cortez, saying, “I was protecting myself.”
He was then directed to raise his hands and was subjected to a pat-down, during which no weapons were recovered. Anthony was taken into custody without further incident, with Officer Allyson Ricci arriving shortly thereafter to assist.
As Anthony was escorted to the patrol vehicle, he appeared visibly distressed and repeatedly stated, “He put his hands on me.”
Officers remained professional, refraining from engaging in further discussion about the incident in order to preserve the integrity of the investigation.
Once at the Frisco Police Department Jail, Anthony was processed and issued standard jail clothing.
During the booking procedure, officers observed and documented a wound on one of his fingers. Photographs were taken as part of the evidence collection process to assist in the ongoing investigation.
Anthony’s comments and physical condition will be key components in determining the nature of the confrontation and whether self-defense claims are substantiated.
The suspect in the deadly stabbing — Karmelo Anthony, a student at Frisco Centennial High School — has been charged with first-degree murder, police said.
The case remains under active investigation by the Frisco Police Department.
