Karmelo Anthony, 17, is accused of fatally stabbing another 17-year-old, Austin Metcalf. He is charged with murder, but claims self-defense.

A lawyer for 17-year-old Karmelo Anthony says his legal team is trying to get his $1 million bond lowered. Fundraisers have drawn hundreds of thousands of dollars for him.

The attorney for Karmelo Anthony, the 17-year-old accused of murdering football star Austin Metcalf at a Texas track meet, insists he doesn’t have “any reason” to think the killing “wasn’t in self defense” — and will request the teen’s bond be lowered from $1,000,000.

Karmelo Anthony remains in police custody on a $1 million bond in the fatal stabbing of 17-year-old Austin Metcalf.

Through new attorneys, Karmelo Anthony's family released its first statement on the fatal stabbing death allegedly committed by their son.

Beware of those taking to social media to deliberately spread misinformation, hate, fear and division,” the Frisco, Texas, police chief said.

As police investigate the fatal stabbing of Austin Metcalf, families face grief, threats, and a wave of misinformation spreading across social media.
