Frisco ISD student fatally stabs another during fight at track meet, police say
An altercation at a Frisco ISD track meet on Wednesday resulted in a fatal stabbing.
According to the Frisco Police Department, the incident happened around 10 a.m. at a track meet in the 6900 block of Stadium Lane, at Kuykendall Stadium.
Frisco PD said the altercation was between two students and resulted in one stabbing the other. The suspect, 17-year-old Karmelo Anthony, is in police custody and has been charged with murder. His bond has yet to be set.
The victim, 17-year-old Austin Metcalf, was taken to a local hospital in an unknown condition. A few hours later, police said the victim died from their injuries.
Pastor Zach Martin, a campus pastor for Hope Fellowship, remembered the teen.
"I think there's not a lot more we can say," Martin said. "He's somebody who's connected to us. As a church family, we want to be able to support and love them as best we can."
Meanwhile, Frisco ISD said the track meet was suspended and the stadium was immediately secured. Students were then released and sent back to their home campus via bus.
CBS News Texas Chopper was at the stadium Wednesday afternoon, which showed crime scene tape around an area in the stands. Several law enforcement officials remained on the scene hours later.
Police did not say what led up to the stabbing or the altercation. There is no threat to the public, police said.
Frisco PD said they are collaborating with Frisco ISD and will continue to provide any support they need during this difficult time.
The investigation is ongoing and anyone with information is asked to contact Frisco PD's non-emergency number, (972)292-6010 or by submitting a tip using Text411 and texting FRISCOPD and the tip to 847411.
