People are turning on Karmelo's parents and their narrative. Dominique Alexander the baby shaking felon, hired by the Anthony family admits that he didn’t see Karmelo Anthony being jumped in the video. Dominique Alexander, a community activist speaking on behalf of Karmelo Anthony’s family, publicly stated that the police report and surveillance footage do not support the narrative that Anthony was acting in self-defense or being physically jumped prior to the stabbing. This statement addresses the high-profile Texas trial of Karmelo Anthony, a 19-year-old high school athlete who was convicted and sentenced to 35 years in prison for the fatal stabbing of 17-year-old Austin Metcalf at a Frisco ISD track meet..........From a comment:"FROM A JOURNALIST WHO WAS INSIDE THE COURT ROOMDay Four.. Karmelo Anthony Trial.. June 4, 2026..💜The state called Tiffany a Whitaker.. an athletic trainer with Memorial High School..She explained that her entire job is preventing athletic injuries.. she is at every single event.. she has extensive medical training.. CPR certified.. and she knew both boys..She said there is a rule about the tent.. it is treated like a locker room.. a team‑only safe space.. no outsiders.. no exceptions..She said the weather was cloudy and windy.. Around ten AM she was set up with her medical equipment near the Andrews building..She said she saw Austin around nine thirty.. he hugged her like he always did..She saw Anthony enter the tent and sit down.. and stated she was the first person to tell him that he needed to leave because no one other than those who are teammates from Memorial High were allowed to be in the tent.. and had even said “are you even supposed to be here today??” as he stood up and acted like he was leaving.. before she herself left to set up for the meet.. she said she only left because she thought he was leaving..A few moments later she heard screaming.. saw a commotion.. and ran towards the track..A student she knew yelled “him.. he stabbed him and threw the knife..” and pointed directly at Karmelo..She said she stopped right in front of Karmelo.. arms out.. blocking him from leaving.. then she got Coach Hooper’s attention from Heritage High School..Hooper turned toward Karmelo and said “you stabbed someone son??”She then ran to find the victim.. not knowing yet that it was Austin..When she reached the tent.. multiple people were already trying to help him.. She grabbed his wrist to check for a pulse..She gave rescue breaths while the Liberty High School coach did compressions..💙Next witness.. track head coach Vincent Hooper.. Heritage High School..He explained the tent rules too.. you keep your kids in your own camp.. and only those who were competing from those schools were allowed in the tent…He had left to get batons from his car.. and when he came back everyone was running.. panicking..Coach Tiffany yelled to him “hey this kid stabbed someone don’t let him leave..”Hooper said he put his hands around Karmelo.. and Karmelo said “he put his hands on me..”Hooper told him “you know if he dies you just changed your whole life around..”Karmelo replied while rolling his eyes.. “he’s not going to die..”Hooper then passed Karmelo to a Centennial coach..He said an African‑American kid was chasing after Karmelo screaming “he stabbed my brother.. I’m going to get him..” Hooper grabbed him and held him back.. stating that that’s how teams were.. they’re like family.. and Austin was looked at like a brother by everyone on the team..This individual is likely a witness.. possibly a minor.. so no identification..Hooper said when he reached Austin.. Austin was pale white.. lying in a puddle of blood..🩵Next witness.. Joshua Redman.. Liberty High School coach.. Army veteran..He is six foot four.. two hundred forty pounds.. deployed three times.. blown up three times.. He said he has led men and lost men..On April second he was the throwing coach.. Liberty had two tents.. boys and girls.. He said the weather was only a light drizzle.. not heavy rain..He was close to Memorial’s tent.. He did not hear anything until suddenly there was a burst of energy.. kids running.. screaming.. feet pounding on the aluminum bleachers..He saw Austin at the bottom of the bleachers.. back against the fence.. then Austin collapsed.. Hunter ran to him.. held him.. screaming that Austin had been stabbed..Redman took off his coat and applied pressure to the wound..He had to shove Hunter aside because Hunter was trying to hold Austin too tightly.. Hunter was hysterical..Redman said based on the wound location and the amount of blood filling Austin’s abdomen.. he knew it was bad.. He recognized agonal breathing.. which meant Austin was already passing..He said before EMS even arrived.. he knew Austin was gone.. but he did not say it out loud because he wanted every lifesaving measure attempted..After EMS took over.. he went to the locker room to wash the blood off his hands.. leaving his coat on the ground..🚨Then they played the 911 call..🚨It was devastating..You could hear screaming everywhere.. You could hear the army veteran working on Austin..You could hear him yelling “stay with me Austin.. stay with me”..The caller told 911 that Austin was breathing.. but it was the agonal breathing Redman recognized.. meaning Austin was already gone..In the background.. you could hear Hunter crying.. screaming.. begging.. “PLEASE GOD.. please.. please GOD”..The caller then described Karmelo.. said he was just some kid from another school.. no uniform on… not participating.. he was just there..Photos were shown to the jury.. the phot of Austin on the bleachers was not put on the big screen out of respect for the Metcalf family..A photo of the jacket used to try to stop the bleeding was shown on the big screen.. the inside soaked in blood..On cross‑examination.. it was reiterated that Redman heard no yelling before the stabbing..The state then rested..Day five starts today..So what we know now is.. Karmelo skipped school to be at a track meet he was banned from.. was in a tent that ALL coaches have now stated were to be treated like school locker rooms.. where no other team members were allowed into the specific tents for other schools..We now know that Karmelo did not show “remorse” until it was brought up that if Austin died his life would basically be over.. and he seemed proud of what he did when he was in the cop car with his “alleged nothing.. I did it..” statement..Now here’s my opinion:We now know the folding knife was open as though he was prepared to stab someone.. and that he was asked numerous times by people to leave the tent including by a coach.. so the whole “if an adult told him to leave he would have..” thing just got shattered.. and the minors who were witnesses.. stated that Karmelo was the aggressor.. who was trying to get Austin to fight him.. and at one point Austin flat out said “I am not going to fight you at a track meet dude..”The more we learn.. the less this sounds like self defense..🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨And once again.. because apparently adults need this spelled out slowly.. this has nothing to do with race.. not one thing.. A child died.. another child killed him.. and the fact that grown people are twisting this into some race‑war fantasy instead of focusing on the reality of a seventeen year old bleeding out on the ground.. is ridiculous.. embarrassing.. and honestly shameful.. The adults making this about skin color instead of the death of a child.. should be ashamed of themselves.. because their obsession with race is drowning out the truth.. and the truth is simple.. a child is gone.. and another child took his life.. nothing else changes that..And if you’re one of the assholes who thinks it’s good that Karmelo killing Austin is a good thing… you’re part of the fucking problem… and honestly you’re a piece of shit human being.."
