An American teenager was found guilty of murder Tuesday in the death of another teen in a high profile case that sparked debates over self-defense, race and school safety.

Now 19, Karmelo Anthony, who is black, was convicted over the fatal stabbing of 17-year-old Austin Metcalf, who was white, at a school stadium in a Dallas, Texas suburb in April 2025.

According to the Associated Press, Prosecutors argued that the stabbing of Metcalf was an unjustified attack related to a dispute over whether Anthony could be under the tent of Metcalf’s team during a rainy track meet.
