A new concerning dimension has been added to the circumstances surrounding the death of Austin Metcalf.
The 17-year-old Metcalf was fatally stabbed on April 2 at a track meet at Kuykendall Stadium in Frisco, Texas. Karmelo Anthony, also 17, has been charged in Metcalf’s death with first-degree murder.
KXAS-TV reported Tuesday that the Frisco Police Department decided to meet for talks about the ongoing investigation and charges against Anthony with a far-left activist group, Next Generation Action Network.
NGAN President Dominique Alexander reportedly sees himself as an advocate for the Anthony family’s safety.
Given the racially charged nature of the killing — Metcalf was white and Anthony is black — Alexander commented on the significance of how the public is responding.
