Dad of teen accused of fatally stabbing Texas football rival defends son: ‘He was not the aggressor’

The tragic murder of a Texas high school football star took another troubling turn when the father of the 17-year-old arrested for the crime defended his son.

Karmelo Anthony, 17, was arrested Wednesday after allegedly stabbing 17-year-old Austin Metcalf in the chest at a track meet. The horrific attack took place after Metcalf was told that he was sitting in the wrong seat, according to various reports.

Metcalf died in the arms of his twin brother, who was desperately trying to stop the bleeding. Hunter Metcalf rushed to his brother after he was stabbed.

Andrew Anthony insisted his son was a “good kid” in an interview with the New York Post.



“Everyone has already made their assumptions about my son, but he’s not what they’re making him out to be,” the senior Anthony said. “He’s a good kid. He works two jobs. He’s an A student, has a 3.7 GPA.”

“He was not the aggressor. He was not the one who started it,” the father insisted, adding that his son’s action was a heat-of-the-moment mistake that affected both families.
