Disturbing audio from the 911 calls made just moments after Texas teen Austin Metcalf was fatally stabbed by Karmelo Anthony were released Friday, with one pal frantically claiming, “My friend’s bleeding everywhere” while his coach can be heard in the background pleading, “Fight through, fight through!”
One of the callers, named Mason, tells the operator that Memorial High School track and football star Metcalf, 17, “just got stabbed” at the Frisco field.
“You need to send an ambulance right now,” Mason says.
He then goes on to describe Anthony, a rival athlete from the opposing Centennial High School track team, as being black and wearing a gray Essentials hoodie, with blue sweatpants on — saying that a coach was holding him still.
“My friend’s bleeding everywhere,” Mason says, when asked what the victim was stabbed with.
Here’s the latest on Karmelo Anthony’s murder conviction:
In the background, the frenzied caller can be heard telling someone, “It was Austin, Austin got stabbed in the chest.”
In another heartwrenching call, the caller reports “an athlete that was stabbed” — as sheer chaos erupts in the background.
At one point, Metcalf’s football coach, Joshua Rebmann, can be heard frantically telling the dying teen, “C’mon! C’mon!” and “Fight through, fight through! You’re doing good” as he performs CPR.
That caller tells the 911 operators that Metcalf is unconscious but still breathing.
The documents were released Friday more than a week after Anthony’s murder conviction — which fanned racial tensions in McKinney, where the jury trial played out.
Anthony was lurking in the rival school’s tent in April 2025 when he got into an argument with Metcalf. Witnesses said the would-be killer was told multiple times to leave — before he pulled out a $13 3.5-inch serrated knife, stabbing Metcalf once in the chest.
Anthony, who was 17 at the time of the slaying but tried as an adult, was sentenced to 35 years.
