“That Money Should Be Seized”: Social Media Erupts In Anger As Online Fundraiser For Accused 𝘔𝘶𝘳𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘥 Karmelo Anthony Asks For Even More Money After Making Over $200,000
Karmelo Anthony may have admitted to st@bbing high school football star Austin Metcalf to d3ath, but he is certainly not lacking in support.
The Texas teen had an online fundraiser started for him, and it has reached incredible levels.
The donations are continuing to pour in, with more than 5,400 people donating $200,000 as of Monday night on GiveSendGo — a fundraising platform.
The money is coming in so fast that the original goal has been changed for a second time: now, it is asking for $300,000.
The Karmelo Anthony family set up the “Help Karmelo Official Fund,” claiming a “false, unjust, and harmful” narrative is being spread about the slaying.
His original goal was $100,000, but now that things have escalated to well past $200K, the new goal has been changed to $300,000 for Karmelo.
Here is how social media responded:
“That money should be seized and given to the victims family,” one person said.
“This should be illegal,” a second person stated.
“The victim will hopefully sue to take it from him,” a third person added of the Karmelo Anthony family.
“Raising the goal 5 times in a row?…Checks out,” one final person stated.
Karmelo Anthony’s Lawyer Seeks Lower Bond
The legal team for Frisco 𝘔𝘶𝘳𝘥𝘦𝘳 suspect Karmelo Anthony wants him out of j@il.
The only way it could happen is to seek to lower his $1 million bond.

Anthony and his family’s lawyers released a statement on Monday.
“Karmelo and the entire Anthony family are sincerely saddened that a life was lost and offer their condolences to the family of Austin Metcalf,” read the statement.
Anthony has been holed up in the Collin County J@il since he was charged.
