Twin of teenager who died in track meet’s statement exposed.
Hunter Metcalf has broken his silence days after his twin brother, Austin, was stabbed to death during what should’ve been a normal high school track meet.
Austin’s achievements and final moments detailed.
Friends describe Austin as humble, kind, and fiercely loyal. He was the guy who stood up for others, who always had Hunter’s back—and who would never back down.
Some students say there had been previous friction between the schools’ athletes, though no one expected things to escalate beyond a few words.
Just four days before the stabbing, the Metcalf twins went on a hunting trip. Austin bagged his first wild hog and was beaming. “This was going to be his year,” Jeff said.
Austin was already fielding offers. His GPA was perfect. His work ethic was unmatched. “He had it all lined up,” said Coach Travis from Frisco Memorial.
Fatal incident explained.
The incident unfolded last Wednesday at David Kuykendall Stadium in Frisco, Texas, and ended with 17-year-old Austin dying in his twin brother’s arms.
Austin was a junior at Frisco Memorial High with a 4.0 GPA and was already receiving college football interest when his life was cut short.
The alleged attacker, Karmelo Anthony, a senior from nearby Frisco Centennial High, is now facing a murder charge for the stabbing.
According to the arrest affidavit, the argument began during a rain delay, when Austin and Hunter asked Anthony to move from under their team tent.
Anthony reportedly responded with a chilling warning before allegedly reaching into his bag, pulling out a knife, and stabbing Austin in the chest.
Despite desperate CPR efforts and a blood transfusion, Austin was pronounced dead at a local hospital just hours after the attack.
Anthony’s defence confirmed.
Anthony allegedly admitted everything on the scene, telling officers he stabbed Austin and that he was “protecting” himself.
Anthony’s lawyer is now pushing for bond to be reduced, arguing the teen may have acted in self-defense after being physically touched.
Andrew Anthony told the New York Post that his son is a hardworking student with a 3.7 GPA and two jobs: “He’s not the monster people are painting him to be.”
He remains behind bars with a $1 million bond, but his legal team plans to challenge the charge. A trial date has not been set.
Some legal analysts suggest that if Anthony felt genuinely threatened, self-defense could be argued. But others say a knife changes the entire equation.
Frisco is split. Some sympathize with the accused. Others say there’s no excuse. The only thing they agree on? It never should’ve happened.
Aftermath of incident profiled.
Frisco ISD confirmed there were no metal detectors at the venue. Former Dallas ISD police chief Craig Miller says it’s a serious oversight.
Since the stabbing, social platforms have erupted with finger-pointing, grief posts, and conspiracy theories. The school district has yet to make an official comment.
Thousands are posting under #JusticeForAustin, sharing videos of the brothers, football highlights, and memorials.
Students and teachers at Austin’s school are reportedly “inconsolable.” Grief counselors are on-site. Classes remain optional.
Family’s grief highlighted.
Jeff Metcalf, the twins’ father, rushed to the scene. “He was covered in blood,” Jeff said. “I kissed him. I told him I loved him. Then I had to let him go.”
Jeff Metcalf says it’s time for change. “Better parenting. More love. Less social media. We need more compassion, not conflict.”
Austin’s mother, Meghan Metcalf, is still reeling. “My son is gone because someone got mad. That’s it. That’s the reason.”
A fundraising campaign for the Metcalf family has topped $244,000, as classmates, coaches, and strangers rally to honor Austin’s life.
Hunter’s statement revealed.
Hunter, devastated and visibly shaken, described losing his brother as losing half of himself. “We were one person,” he said.
“I looked in his eyes. I just saw his soul leave. And it took my soul, too,” Hunter told Fox News, describing the devastating moment he watched his twin slip away.
The two shared everything—sports, school, hobbies—and their identical bond was known around Frisco. “We even had the same heartbeat,” Hunter once joked.
In the most gut-wrenching moment of the entire ordeal, Hunter says he held Austin’s head, tried to stop the bleeding, and watched the light leave his eyes.
The two had planned to go to college together. They shared a room. A car. Even a future. Now, Hunter says, “It’s just silence.”
Austin’s legacy lives on.
A simple track meet. A petty argument. A knife. And one family’s future shattered in a matter of seconds.
The community continues to mourn in the aftermath of this devastating tragedy.
