FRISCO, Texas—A teen accused of fatally stabbing another student at a high school track meet in suburban Dallas was indicted Tuesday on a murder charge, a prosecutor said.
A grand jury indicted Karmelo Anthony in the death of 17-year-old Austin Metcalf, Collin County District Attorney Greg Willis said. Willis said the April 2 stabbing at the school stadium in Frisco “struck a deep nerve—here in Collin County and beyond.” Anthony was 17 at the time of the stabbing and has since turned 18.
“When something like this happens at a school event, it shakes people to the core,” Willis said.
Students from several high schools in the Frisco Independent School District were competing when the stabbing occurred.
