The online support fund for 17-year-old Karmelo Anthony — the suspect in last week’s murder of Texas high school star athlete Austin Metcalf, also 17 — has risen past the $150,000 mark.
The “Help Karmelo Official Fund” on GiveSendGo reached $159,479 at 11 a.m. ET Monday, and the figure appears to be rising quickly. The goal is $200,000.
‘I know that my client said it was self-defense.’
“The narrative being spread is false, unjust, and harmful. As a family of faith, we are deeply grateful for all of your support during this trying period. Your prayers and assistance mean more to us now more than ever,” the fund states.
