A Texas high school star athlete was stabbed in the heart and left to die in his loving twin brother’s arms following a fight over a seat at a track meet, the boy’s heartbroken father said.

Austin Metcalf was attending a track and field championship between other area schools at Kuykendall Stadium in Frisco, Texas when the fatal attack happened on April 2.

Metcalf, a junior at Frisco ISD’s Memorial High School, was in the stands of 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 when he drew a knife and launched his attack, Metcalf’s father Jeff Metcalf told NBC Dallas-Fort Worth.

Anthony, 17, allegedly stabbed Metcalf in the chest as his victim’s brother, Hunter, watched in horror.

Hunter, who was born 2 minutes after Austin, rushed to the aid of his older brother but couldn’t save him.

“I tried to whip around as fast as I could,” an emotional Hunter Metcalf told WFAA. “I looked at my brother and I’m not going to talk about the rest. I tried to help him.” 

“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,” Jeff Metcalf recalled.

Hunter Metcalf called his parents to tell them about the stabbing, with their father rushing to the stands to find Austin on a gurney not 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,” Jeff Metcalf said.

The teen was pronounced dead at a local hospital.

“Despite lifesaving measures by police and fire personnel, including CPR and the administration of blood, the (17)-year-old died,” Frisco Police said.

Anthony was arrested and charged with first-degree murder.

He is being held at Collin County Jail; no bond has been set.

The grieving father questioned Anthony’s upbringing and parents as he forgave his son’s alleged killer.

“I’m not trying to judge, but what kind of parents did this child have? What was he taught? He brought a knife to a track meet and he murdered my son by stabbing him in the heart. The guy was in the wrong place and they asked him to move and he bowed up. This is murder,” Jeff Metcalf said.

“You know what, I already forgive this person. Already. God takes care of things. God is going to take care of me. God is going to take care of my family,” he added.

Anthony, 5-foot-10 free safety, revealed on social media he had received offers from several colleges, mostly Division III schools.

Austin Metcalf was remembered as a star linebacker who had garnered attention from schools as he dreamed of playing football in college.

He was recently voted his team’s Most Valuable Player and held a 4.0 GPA, according to a GoFundMe organized by his father.

“He was a bright young man with a great future ahead of him,” Jeff Metcalf said. “He was a leader of men. His smile would light up the room. His passion for football was unbelievable.

“We will all remember him for the way he impacted others’ lives.”
