To prevent the school from\u2019rewarding\u2019 a suspected murderer, the father of a 17-year-old teen who was stabbed at a track meet has made a fervent appeal.<\/p>\n
On April 2, Austin Metcalf was stabbed in the heart while attending the track and field final at Kuykendall Stadium in Frisco with his younger brother, Hunter.<\/p>\n
18-year-old Karmelo Anthony is charged with drawing a knife following a brawl over stands. According to legend, Metcalf passed away in his brother\u2019s embrace.<\/p>\n
Speaking to NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth, police stated that officers were called to the scene at approximately 10am, stating: \u201cDespite lifesaving measures by police and fire personnel, including CPR and the administration of blood, the (17)-year-old victim died.\u201d<\/p>\n
According to NBC News, Anthony was detained and charged by Frisco police, but was later released from custody and placed under home arrest.<\/p>\n
In light of the continuing allegations, Austin\u2019s father, Jeffrey Metcalf, has now filed a formal complaint against Centennial High School for granting Anthony his diploma.<\/p>\n
Anthony\u2019s spokesman, Dominique Alexander, told the Daily Mail that a complaint had been filed.<\/p>\n
\u201cNow you have a father filing a complaint to the TEA [Texas Education Agency],\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Although Anthony appears to be getting his certificate, the Daily Mail states that because he is still under house arrest, the suspected murderer is not anticipated to participate in the graduation ceremony or go across the stage at Frisco Independent School District to pick up his award.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are in arrangements of doing an early gradation. They have agreed to allow him to graduate. They were literally trying to expel him \u2013 period,\u201d Alexander said last week.<\/p>\n
Metcalf acknowledged attending a news conference hosted by the Anthony family last month, whereby they indicated their intention to contest their son\u2019s first-degree murder conviction.<\/p>\n
Speaking about \u201clies and false accusations that have been said about us, especially over the past week,\u201d Anthony\u2019s mother, Kala Hayes, stated that they \u201cput my family in danger.\u201d<\/p>\n
According to the suspect killer\u2019s parents, he defended himself when Austin allegedly attacked him.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
