'Died In His Brother's Arms': Teen Killed In Texas Track Meet Stabbing

FRISCO, TX — A 17-year-old student has been charged with first-degree murder after police said he fatally stabbed another student during a high school track meet Wednesday morning in Frisco.

Frisco Police and Fire responded to Kuykendall Stadium around 10 a.m., where an "altercation" between two students had escalated into a stabbing, authorities said.

Emergency crews tried to save the 16-year-old, performing CPR and giving blood, but he died from his injuries in the stands of the stadium.

The victim was identified as Austin Metcalf.

"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," Austin's father, Jeff Metcalf, told NBC Dallas-Fort Worth.

"I rushed up there and I saw him on the gurney and I could tell -- they said he wasn't breathing. I could see all the blood, and I saw where the wound was, and I was very concerned, so I had to find his brother, and we rushed to the hospital. And we prayed, and it's God's plan, I don't understand it, but they weren't able to save him. This is murder."

The suspect, identified as Karmelo Anthony, of Frisco, was taken into custody at the scene and charged. As of Wednesday afternoon, no bond had been set.

Police said anyone with information on the stabbing is asked to contact the Frisco Police Department’s non-emergency number (972-292-6010) or submit a tip using Tip411 (text FRISCOPD + the tip to 847411).

"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 department said in a statement.

"The department is collaborating with the Frisco Independent School District and will continue to provide any support they need during this incredibly difficult time."
