Frisco Murder Twist: Confession Caught On Bodycam

Newly released body camera footage from Karmelo Anthony’s arrest captures him saying “I’m not alleged, I did it” — a stunning on-camera statement from a teenager now serving 35 years for murder.

Story Highlights

Karmelo Anthony was convicted of murder and sentenced to 35 years in prison for fatally stabbing 17-year-old Austin Metcalf at a Frisco, Texas track meet in April 2025.
A judge released body camera footage on June 19, 2026, showing Anthony’s arrest moments after the stabbing — including his own words: “I’m not alleged, I did it.”
Anthony also told officers, “He put his hands on me. I told him not to,” an attempt at a self-defense story that a jury rejected.
Surveillance footage shown to jurors captured the stabbing itself — and Anthony running away afterward.

A Killer’s Own Words on Camera

On June 19, 2026, the judge who oversaw the State of Texas vs. Karmelo Anthony released body camera footage from Anthony’s arrest to the public. The footage, captured by an assisting officer, shows Anthony being taken into custody just minutes after the fatal stabbing of Austin Metcalf. Officers noted blood on his hands. As police referred to him as the “alleged” suspect, Anthony pushed back — and then said something that left little room for doubt.

“I’m not alleged, I did it,” Anthony told officers on camera during his arrest. The statement was played at trial and is now part of the public record. The jury heard it. They believed it. Anthony was found guilty of murder earlier in June 2026 and sentenced to 35 years in prison. The self-defense claim his legal team pushed fell apart under the weight of his own words and the video evidence jurors reviewed.

Self-Defense Story That Didn’t Hold Up

Anthony also said during his arrest, “He put his hands on me. I told him not to.” That line formed the core of his self-defense argument — that Metcalf was the aggressor. But the jury rejected it entirely. Surveillance footage shown in court captured the stabbing and showed Anthony fleeing the scene afterward. Prosecutors also identified the murder weapon: a folding Ozark Trail multi-tool knife with a 3.5-inch serrated blade.

Anthony’s legal team argued he acted in self-defense after a confrontation at the Frisco Independent School District track meet at Memorial High School. The jury saw through it. Running from the scene after stabbing someone does not look like self-defense — it looks like guilt. The 35-year sentence reflects exactly what the evidence showed: a deliberate act of violence that ended a young man’s life.

Austin Metcalf Deserved Justice — and Got It

Austin Metcalf was 17 years old when Karmelo Anthony stabbed him to death at a high school track meet. He was just a kid competing in a sport he loved. His family and community in Frisco watched this case unfold over more than a year. The release of this footage is a reminder of what the justice system is supposed to do — hold killers accountable with clear evidence, a fair trial, and a sentence that fits the crime.

The body camera footage, the surveillance video, and Anthony’s own words all point to the same truth the jury reached. Texas got this one right. A 35-year sentence means Anthony will be well into his fifties before he walks free — if he ever does. For Austin Metcalf’s family, no sentence brings their son back. But accountability matters. The evidence was clear, the trial was fair, and justice was served.
