The camera, positioned near the press box, captures half of the field at Kuykendall Stadium. The tent where the incident occurred is located in the bleachers near the 50-yard line.

Terrifying surveillance footage emerges of Austin Metcalf's fatal track meet stabbing
New footage of the moment Austin Metcalf was fatally stabbed at a Texas track meet has shed light on the horrific incident. Local TV station WFAA obtained exclusive, yet limited access to surveillance footage capturing the April 2 confrontation between Metcalf, a Memorial High School junior, and Karmelo Anthony, the student who was charged with murdering Metcalf. While The Frisco Independent School District allowed the outlet to watch the video, a copy of the footage was not provided, nor did they allow any images of it to be taken, citing student privacy and school security concerns. The video was described as a wide angle shot that had a distant view of Kuykendall Stadium in Frisco, Texas. The incident was seen in a tiny portion of the upper left hand corner of the screen, according to WFAA. The camera reportedly showed the Memorial High School pop-up tent for the track meet, the area Anthony was accused of barging into before he allegedly pulled a knife out of his bag and stabbed Metcalf. Metcalf and Anthony, then a senior at rival Centennial High School, were not identifiable in the video provided by the school district, WFAA reported. At 9:55am, a sudden movement was seen at the tent on the bleachers, but the alleged stabbing was not visible, according to the outlet. There was a lot of moving in tent but it was all heavily pixelated, showing figures at the top of the bleachers. Some of them were positioned just above the tent and others were just below. Shortly after the observed sudden movement, several people believed to be students were seen running from the area. Others on the field reacted by moving toward a back gate. Paramedics were seen arriving at the scene about nine minutes after the stabbing, entering through the same back gate and parking on the middle of the field. It's been previously reported that Metcalf's twin brother Hunter was with him and held him as he was bleeding out under the tent. On the video, paramedics were seen wheeling a gurney to the bottom of the bleachers to begin their attempt to save Metcalf's life. About 15 minutes after the incident, a tarp was raised over the bleachers and rain was beginning to fall heavily at this time. About 26 minutes after the stabbing took place, emergency medical services left and were replaced with people believed to be law enforcement setting up a crime scene. The surveillance footage viewed by WFAA is expected to be a key piece of evidence for the grand jury, which will decide by late June whether Anthony's murder charge should be upheld. Anthony (pictured) was released from jail on a $250,000 bond. Now his family has raised over $535,000 for his legal defense and a safe home for him amid death threats they say they've received Anthony's attorney, Mike Howard, confirmed to WFAA that he's seen this video, but neither the victim's family or the suspect's family have disclosed whether they've seen it. Metcalf and Anthony were two track athletes from opposing schools, and they both attended the April 2 sporting event. Witnesses told police that Anthony for some reason migrated over to the Memorial High School pop-up tent, according to an arrest affidavit. When he was told to leave by Metcalf, that's when things went bad. Anthony unzipped his bag and reached in, telling Metcalf: 'Touch me and see what happens,' a witness told police. The affidavit says Metcalf then 'grabbed Anthony to tell him to move and Anthony pulled out... a black knife and stabbed Austin once in the chest.' Anthony is accused of fleeing the scene and tossing the knife into the bleachers. He was arrested shortly after. Responding officers said Anthony told them he was 'protecting myself' and that Metcalf had 'put his hands on me.' Anthony also told officers, 'I'm not the alleged, I did it,' according to the affidavit. Anthony is under house arrest and is currently wearing an ankle monitor as he awaits the next developments in the case against him. The horrific killing at the track meet 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. Meanwhile, others are outraged that Anthony's family has been able to raise upwards of $535,000 on crowd-funding site GiveSendGo to support his legal defense.

Staggering sum family of teen 'killer' Karmelo Anthony has received from strangers...and they still want more
More than half a million dollars have been donated online to help confessed teen killer Karmelo Anthony, who is charged with stabbing and killing Austin Metcalf at a track meet in Texas. Through an online platform called GiveSendGo, supporters of the murder suspect have raised $533,452 as of Tuesday. However, Anthony's embattled family is still hoping to get even more money, raising the goal threshold several times to its current amount of $600,000. Donations- most ranging from $20 to $100- have poured in from come across the country as the case has garnered national attention, becoming a flashpoint about race and privilege. At an April 2 high school track meet in Frisco, a wealthy Dallas suburb, Anthony and Metcalf argued because Anthony was sitting under the team tent of a school he didn't attend. Then a student at Centennial High School, Anthony seated himself under the tent for Memorial High School athletes who left their personal belongings, like money and phones, under the tent for security while the students participated in events. Metcalf, 17, a Memorial High junior, asked Anthony to leave. The confrontation escalated until Anthony pulled out a knife and drove it through Metcalf's chest, leaving the teen to bleed out in his twin brother's arms. The 18-year-old confessed to killing Metcalf, telling arresting officers 'I'm not alleged. I did it,' although now he is claiming self defense. The finances of the Anthony family have been under public scrutiny since the teen's dad claimed to be struggling financially at an April 15 bond hearing, where they asked a judge to reduce the $1 million bail to $250,000 so they could get the then 17-year-old out of jail. At the time, Anthony's parents claimed they have not received any of the money that had been raised for them online, and that the funds had been earmarked for their son's legal defense, not to pay the bond. However, as exclusively reported, the mom, dad mom, Anthony and several younger siblings were living behind the luxury of a gated community in a $900,000 home in Frisco while crying poor to the court. The online fundraiser now says, the money will be used for several purposes. 'While legal defense is a critical part of this journey, we want to make it clear that this fund is not solely dedicated to legal expenses,' Anthony's mom, Kala Hayes, who administers the account posted. 'The funds raised will also support a range of urgent and necessary needs that have emerged as a result of this situation, including — but not limited to — the safe relocation of the Anthony family due to escalating threats to their safety and well-being, as well as basic living costs, transportation, counseling, and other security measures.' After being freed from jail. Anthony returned to his gated community, but his spokesman later claimed he had to be relocated due to racist threats on his life. Anthony's family (pictured) said they were forced to move to a new home in an 'undisclosed location' due to threats they have received In a controversial decision, the school district allowed the first-degree murder suspect to get his high school diploma, but not to take part in the Centennial High graduation ceremony last week, DailyMail broke the news. The teen has been checking in with court officials via telephone, as part of his house arrest conditions, public records show. He has left the gated community is now staying at an undisclosed location. Meanwhile, a GoFundMe account for Metcalf has raised even more money than Anthony's. $558,789 has been donated by over 12,000 people for the slain boy's family.
