The Texas judge who reduced the $1 million bond for 17-year-old Austin Metcalf’s accused killer was targeted in a doxxing hoax, KDFW reported. 

The Collin County Sheriff’s Office, in coordination with the FBI, is investigating the alleged doxxing of Collin County Judge Angela Tucker, who agreed to significantly reduce Frisco track meet stabbing suspect 17-year-old Karmelo Anthony’s bond.

“Due to the nature of the situation, we are coordinating with the FBI and our Fusion Center to monitor for any concerning rhetoric or propaganda that could incite violence,” the sheriff’s office told KDFW.

Doxxing, defined as a form of cyberbullying, involves publicly posting someone’s personal information without consent.

Next Generation Action Network (NGAN), the group representing the Anthony family, shared a news release saying the threats included people loitering and taking photos of the Anthony family’s current address, unwanted food deliveries that NGAN said were “made to disturb and harass the family” and a mailing of Metcalf’s obituary to the home, which was also described as “disturbing.” 

“We are sharing images and documentation of the threats the family has faced this past weekend to make the public aware of the dangerous atmosphere that has been created — an atmosphere fueled by organized hate, systemic racism and intentional misinformation,” the group said.

“It is both heartbreaking and infuriating to see the depths of hate and bigotry still alive and well in our society,” NGAN President Dominique Alexander said. “No family should have to live under siege simply because they are demanding their constitutional rights. 

“We will not be silent, and we will not back down. We are committed to doing whatever is necessary to protect this family and to ensure that justice is pursued without intimidation or fear.”

The Frisco Police Department told Fox News Digital, “Our department does not have any reported cases involving the Anthony family being threatened.”

Jeff Metcalf has tried to tone down the political rhetoric since the April 2 stabbing.

He previously told Fox News, “I want to clarify something right off to start because I’ve already heard some rumors and gossip. This was not a race thing. This is not a political thing.

“Do not politicize this. It’s not … this is a human being thing. This person made a bad choice and affected both his family and my family forever.”

A spokesperson for the FBI confirmed to Fox News Digital that the agency is working with the Frisco Police Department on the doxxing incident but deferred to the Frisco Police Department or Collin County Sheriff’s Office for more details about the investigation.

Neither organization was immediately available for Fox News Digital’s request for comment.
