Court Records Detail Karmelo Anthony's 35-Year Murder Case With 75 Pages of Threats and Firearms Evidence

Summary
A 75-page court filing released after Karmelo Anthony’s murder conviction lays out prosecutors’ evidence of alleged threats, assaults and firearm-related messages that jurors reviewed before convicting him in Austin Metcalf’s stabbing death.
Hours before the April 2, 2025 killing at a Frisco track meet, Anthony’s girlfriend reported him to school staff for stalking her, and texts attributed to him said he was “on the verge.”
The notice catalogs alleged conduct from December 2023 through March 2025, including threats to shoot or beat his girlfriend, messages about robberies, a February 2025 fight suspension, and photos or videos showing what appeared to be firearms.
Prosecutors filed the notice on May 8, 2026 as a list of extraneous offenses they intended to use at trial; it is not a judicial finding, and some screenshots show only partial exchanges.
Anthony was sentenced last week to 35 years in prison for Metcalf’s killing and has appealed, while the filing stops short of linking the prior messages to the stabbing or establishing any mental-health diagnosis.
