Mob Shouting ‘Free Karmelo’ Violently Assaults ‘The Smallest White Girl They Could Find,’ She Claims

/1 Comment/in /by

A woman claims that a mob of female Karmelo Anthony supporters jumped her in an unprovoked attack at a Texas bar Sunday.

Sammie Lee says she was leaving Whiskey J’s bar in Longview, Texas when she was attacked by a group of girls she had never met before, Fox News reported. Lee alleged that the crowd was angered by the verdict against Karmelo Anthony — the 19-year-old who was sentenced to 35 years in prison after being found guilty of murdering Austin Metcalf in a fatal stabbing at a high school track meet.

“While getting jumped they [were] yelling out ‘Free Karmelo’ — saying they [were] going to target the smallest white girl they could find,” Lee wrote in a Sunday Facebook post in which she included pictures of her face with visible blood and a black eye.

“I never said a word to these girls, never looked at them, and don’t know them at all,” Lee’s post added. “[B]lack eye, and staples in my HEAD! [I] was LEAKING blood on the back of [sic] head & my face. [T]otally caught me off guard. THIS SHIT IS NOT OKAY!!!!!”

One woman, Ciarrianne Fuller, was arrested in connection with the alleged assault, according to CBS19. Fuller is charged with assault causing bodily injury and has been placed in Gregg County Jail on a $20,000 bond as the investigation continues.

‘I’m Not Alleged. I Did It’: Newly Released Video Shows Karmelo Anthony After Fatal Stabbing

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A Texas court released a series of audio and video recordings from the murder case involving Karmelo Anthony, providing the public with its first detailed look at materials presented during trial proceedings.

The newly released records include surveillance footage, police body-camera videos, photographs, emergency call recordings, and other investigative evidence tied to the fatal stabbing of 17-year-old Austin Metcalf. Anthony was convicted earlier this month and sentenced to 35 years in prison. His legal team has indicated that he intends to challenge the verdict on appeal.

Among the materials made public is surveillance video recorded near the scene of the stabbing. The footage shows activity beneath a tent at Memorial High School in the moments leading up to the confrontation. After a brief disturbance, an individual identified by investigators as Anthony is seen leaving the area and running down the nearby bleachers.

The court filing also contains body-camera footage recorded by responding officers during Anthony’s arrest. In the video, Anthony is restrained while officers secure the scene. Although the camera later turns away from him, audio captures a voice stating, “I’m not alleged. I did it.”

Karmelo Anthony’s Parents Use First Interviews Since Guilty Verdict To Cast Themselves As The Real Victims

/0 Comments/in , /by

Karmelo Anthony’s parents used their first interviews after their son’s murder conviction to claim that he had received an unfair trial and that all the witnesses had lied on the stand.

In interviews with CBS News and The Breakfast Club, Kala Hayes and Andrew Anthony, Karmelo’s parents, told the public that they believed the jury had made up their minds before even stepping foot into the courtroom, essentially convicting their son of Austin Metcalf’s murder before any evidence was heard.

“He was convicted when he walked out of the jail,” Anthony told CBS. “It was no innocent ’til proven guilty. He was already guilty.”

They told the story supposedly from their son’s perspective, who said his girlfriend’s cousin had invited him into the tent where Austin Metcalf was. Then they said the same cousin claimed not to know their son when he took the stand.

“He lied and was saying he didn’t even know [him], and they had pictures, pictures with his grandmother,” Anthony told The Breakfast Club. (Read more from “Karmelo Anthony’s Parents Use First Interviews Since Guilty Verdict To Cast Themselves As The Real Victims” HERE)

Karmelo Anthony Spokesman Urges Fight Against ‘White Supremacy’ After Anthony’s Murder Indictment for Austin Metcalf Stabbing

/0 Comments/in , /by

After Karmelo Anthony was indicted for first-degree murder in connection with the fatal stabbing in April of Texas high school star athlete Austin Metcalf, a high-profile Anthony spokesman reacted Monday by calling for a fight against “white supremacy” and blasting “bigots” and “racists.”

Dominique Alexander — president of Next Generation Action Network — posted on X: “To the racists, the bigots, and those filled with hate who’ve targeted Karmelo, his family, and even myself — you do not intimidate us. We are not backing down.”

Alexander also asked Anthony supporters to “stand with us in the fight against white supremacy” as the case against him moves forward and added, “This case is yet another example of what it means to be Black in America, where even our self-defense is questioned, scrutinized, and politicized.”

Frisco police arrested Anthony and charged him with first-degree murder after Metcalf was fatally stabbed April 2 at a track meet at Kuykendall Stadium. Anthony reportedly told police, “I did it,” in reference to the stabbing after Metcalf allegedly put his hands on Anthony in an effort to get the suspect to leave from under a tent. Anthony has been claiming self-defense.

While Anthony is black and Metcalf was white, Metcalf’s father — Jeff Metcalf — early on urged those on social media to not use his son’s death to stir up political and racial divisiveness, WFAA-TV reported.

Karmelo Anthony Is No Civil Rights Icon and Never Will Be

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Two months have passed since high school senior Karmelo Anthony allegedly fatally stabbed Austin Metcalf at a track meet in Frisco, Texas. The killing sparked national outrage and reopened difficult debates — about race (Karmelo is black, Austin was white), school safety, and the crisis among young men in America.

Also justice. While the Metcalf family mourns — and has to contend with being swatted — Anthony’s bond was reduced and quickly paid. He now awaits trial from the comfort of a new home, funded by hundreds of thousands of dollars in donations from supporters. He was even allowed to graduate on May 22, though he did not attend the ceremony.

Meanwhile, Anthony’s family and legal team have mounted a public relations offensive. In an outrageous press conference, they blamed Austin’s father, Jeff Metcalf, the Frisco Independent School District, and even systemic racism for Anthony’s predicament.

The strategy is clear: Rebrand Karmelo Anthony as a victim. They want the public to believe he was a mostly peaceful teen forced to act in self-defense after being told to change seats.

No new evidence has emerged in the case, but the existing facts undermine Anthony’s claim of self-defense. He allegedly brought a knife to the event, provoked the confrontation with Metcalf, fled the scene after the stabbing, and later asked a police officer whether he could plead self-defense. His actions — before, during, and after the incident — suggest intent, not fear. (Read more from “Karmelo Anthony Is No Civil Rights Icon and Never Will Be” HERE)
