SH0CK: Press conference for teen ‘𝘬𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘳’ Karmelo Anthony descends into chaos as victim’s father is thrown out
The father of a teen boy who was st@bbed to d3ath at a track meet in Texas was thrown out of a press conference for his alleged 𝘬𝘪𝘭𝘭er and targeted with shocking insults from the accused’s supporters.
Austin Metcalf’s father Jeff Metcalf crashed a press conference on Thursday organized by the supporters of 17-year-old alleged 𝘬𝘪𝘭𝘭er Karmelo Anthony.
Metcalf, who had been standing with the press, was escorted out of the venue after police were called to the Next Generation Action Network’s headquarters in Dallas.
Minister Dominique Alexander delayed the event until Metcalf, who refused to leave on his own when asked, was forced out of the room by security.
Alexander then slammed Metcalf for showing up uninvited, calling his behavior ‘inappropriate,’ and ‘a disrespect to the dignity of his son’, TMZ reported.
Anthony walked free from jail after a controversial decision by a judge to lower his bond for charges that he st@bbed and 𝘬𝘪𝘭𝘭ed Austin Metcalf, who d!ed in his twin brother’s arms.
The horrific 𝘬𝘪𝘭𝘭ing at a track meet in Frisco has divided the community and nation at large, with Anthony’s family claiming they have been left too afraid to leave their home over racist attacks.
Anthony admitted to the st@bbing, per police, but his lawyer has indicated he will claim that he acted in self-defense.

Karmelo Anthony, 17, did not answer questions from reporters Monday as he walked out of jail
Anthony’s mother Kayla Hayes spoke during Thursday press conference, pleading for the threats and harassment to stop.
Alexander said it would be the last press conference until Anthony’s trial begins.
He took issue with the media coverage’s of the teen’s donation page and claimed the family only gained access to the funds on Wednesday.
‘We have not received a single dime from the GiveSendGo fundraiser…. we were just notified yesterday that we could begin to withdraw funds and it still takes several days to receive those funds once the request is made,’ Anthony’s mother Angela Hayes said.
The spokesman was previously forced to deny viral rumors that Metcalf had bullied the accused 𝘬𝘪𝘭𝘭er and said the two had never met each other before the st@bbing.
Alexander had also claimed the family could not leave their home after their address was leaked online, leading to ‘graphic and racist threats,’ which included images of ‘black children with knives stuck in their head.’
The Anthony family said they would use some of the donated funds to relocate and hire security.
Meanwhile the judge who reduced Anthony’s bond has gone private on social media after receiving racist attacks for her ruling, with several social media accounts sharing her image and information as they slam the bond reduction.
During Monday’s hearing, judge Angela Tucker said ‘they’ve never had the security issues they’ve faced with this case.’

A donation page for the teen’s legal defense has received more than $450,000 as of Thursday, with many donors claiming he is the real victim in the 𝘬𝘪𝘭𝘭ing.
Anthony’s attorney Michael Howard said, regarding the money: ‘It would be disingenuous to say there isn’t money… But it is not a bond fund. This family needs to be able to survive.’
‘Every Texan has a right to defend themselves when they reasonably fear for their life. Self-defense is a protection that applies to each and every one of us,’ Howard said. ‘There are two sides to every story.’
Howard said he is not ready to disclose why Anthony brought a knife to the track match.
As part of the terms of his release, Anthony is under house arrest and must wear an ankle monitor.
