The trial of Karmelo Anthony in connection with the death of 17-year-old track star Austin Metcalf, who was fatally stabbed during a Frisco, Texas, track meet, has moved forward with a gag order imposed by Judge John Roach. The gag order, issued to prevent pre-trial publicity from impacting the trial’s outcome, has led to a period of silence from all parties involved, including the defense attorneys, prosecution, victims’ families, and activist groups such as Next Generation Action Network (NGAN). The case is set for trial in June 2026 with the Metcalf family, who is now preparing for the legal proceedings, expressing hope that justice will be served for their son. The trial’s proceedings are expected to be marked by the absence of public commentary to maintain neutrality and ensure a fair trial environment.
