Chilling Detail: A coach’s desperate 911 call exposes the chaotic moments after Austin Metcalf was wounded, while questions grow over Karmelo Anthony’s response
HARROWING evidence including 911 calls and videos have been released from the murder of athlete Austin Metcalf by Karmelo Anthony at a track meet.
Shocking video shows then 17-year-old Anthony, attempting to flee the David Kuykendall Stadium in Frisco, Texas, on April 2, 2025 after stabbing Metcalf, 17, in the heart with a 3.5 inch camping blade on the side of the track.
The horrifying new details come after Collin County released a trove of evidence from the trial on Friday night.
The teenage killer, who is now serving a 35-year sentence, was captured in bodycam footage sobbing hysterically to a police officer saying, “He put his hands on me. I told him not to put his hands on me.”
He was also heard saying “I’m not alleged, I did it,” during his arrest.
However, before he was placed in cuffs, heartbreaking 911 audio revealed the desperate calls for help from Metcalf’s friends and the plea made by his coach who tried to save his life.

Mason, one of Metcalf’s friends, told 911 his pal “just got stabbed” and added, “my friend is bleeding everywhere!”
Coach Joshua Rebmann can be heard pleading with the Memorial High School track and football star to “fight through, fight through!”
In another 911 call by Metcalf’s other coach Robert Thayer, Rebmann is overheard telling the athlete “C’mon! C’mon” and “You’re doing good” as he performed CPR on him.
“Stay with me Austin, stay with me,” he begged.

“We have an army veteran trying to keep compression on the wound,” Thayer told the dispatcher.
“He [Metcalf] is laying here, he’s starting to go unconscious.”
When asked about the attacker, Thayer said: “We have no idea, everybody just took off afterwards. There’s a lot of blood, he’s not breathing.”
Metcalf died at the scene while being comforted by his twin brother Hunter who was also attending the track event and who later told the court he lost his best friend that day.
In his 911 call, Mason identified Anthony as the attacker and described him as a rival athlete from Centennial High School, noting that he had been chased down during his attempt to flee the stands.
One clip from security footage at the stadium that was released by Collin County showed movement under the Memorial High School athletes’ tent and Anthony quickly running through the stands.
Other graphic evidence released to the public includes images of the weapon, the deep stab wound to Metcalf’s chest, and the blood soaked clothing worn by his coach who tried to save his life.
A Texas jury convicted Anthony of first-degree murder on June 9 in a trial that has continued to racially divide the nation after Anthony claimed to be acting in self-defense.
Violence broke out under the team tent during a weather delay at the track meet after Anthony was asked to leave the rival team’s area.
Anthony has since appealed his conviction after his family received more than $635,000 through an online fundraiser his mother launched after the fatal stabbing, claiming he had an unfair trial.
