Another student fatally stabbed 17-year-old student Austin Metcalf during an altercation at a high school track meet in suburban Dallas on Wednesday.
The stabbing happened around 10 a.m. at the University Interscholastic League’s (UIL) District 11-5A championship track meet, which was being held at the Frisco Independent School District’s Kuykendall Stadium.
Family members told WFAA that he was a student-athlete at Frisco’s Memorial High School. His twin brother Hunter was also in attendance.
Metcalf was attending a track and field championship between other area schools at Kuykendall Stadium in Frisco, Texas when the fatal attack happened.
The junior at Frisco ISD’s Memorial High School was in the stands at the stadium when a confrontation broke out between the teen and 17-year-old Karmelo Anthony.
Anthony, a senior at Centennial High School, was allegedly told he was sitting in the wrong seat prior to the alteration. In response, he allegedly pulled out a knife and attacked, according to Metcalf’s father, Jeff Metcalf, who relayed that information to NBC Dallas-Fort Worth.
Since the senseless murder, many people have been wanting to know more about Austin Metcalf.
That brought thousands to his X account.
Metcalf, a 6-foot, 220-pound high school football player with a 3.9 GPA, took to his account on March 31st and posted: “Faith that god got me ❤️ and my work will pay off.”
It was his final tweet.
Austin Metcalf Died In His Twin Brother’s Arms
On Wednesday, 17-year-old high school athlete Austin Metcalf was fatally stabbed at a track event at Kuykendall Stadium.
First responders performed CPR and administered blood, but Metcalf died of his injuries.
Jeff Metcalf said his son, Austin Metcalf, was killed when another student armed with a knife got upset after being told he was in the wrong spot.
Metcalf said his son didn’t know the student who attacked him and that Austin’s twin brother, Hunter, was nearby when the altercation went down.
The twin not only saw Austin get stabbed but tried to stop the bleeding.
“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,” Metcalf said.
“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.”
