Evidence from the Karmelo Anthony murder trial was released by a Collin County judge on Friday night, including police body camera footage of Anthony’s arrest. Anthony can be heard emotionally telling Officer Eduardo Cortez, ‘He put his hands on me. I told him not to, he put his hand on me!’ as police walk him towards a squad car.

Background

Karmelo Anthony, the teenager who fatally stabbed a fellow student during a high school track meet last year, was sentenced to 35 years in prison on Tuesday, June 9. The 19-year-old was convicted for the April 2, 2025, murder of Austin Metcalf, 17, at a stadium in the Dallas suburb of Frisco.

Anthony and his lawyers have since appealed the conviction. Anthony was transported to the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, where he was then transported to his unit of assignment at the Pack Unit near Navasota.

Witnesses told investigators the confrontation began during a regional track meet at Kuykendall Stadium in Frisco. Anthony, a student at Centennial High School, was sitting under the Memorial High School team tent when Austin Metcalf, a Memorial High School student, reportedly told him to leave.

Several surveillance videos of Kuykendall Stadium, where the stabbing occurred, were part of the evidence released. In a video from the stadium’s Northeast entry, Austin Metcalf is seen entering alongside friends towards the beginning. Towards the end, Karmelo Anthony is seen being walked out by police following his arrest.
