before it began Anthony is accused of fatally stabbing fellow -year-old Austin Metcalf at an April high school track meet in Frisco Texas Jeff Metcalf Austin's father attempted to attend the news conference Thursday led by Dominique Alexander the head of the Next Generation Action System an activist group speaking on Anthony's behalf TEEN SUSPECT FREE ON BOND AFTER ALLEGEDLY STABBING TEXAS TRACK STAR AUSTIN METCALF TO DEATHMetcalf approved to Fox News Digital he was escorted from the event under the threat of criminal trespass charges The preliminary inquiry determined that one person was inquired to leave the location and did so without happening the Dallas Police Department reported Fox News Digital No offense was stated Anthony is facing first-degree murder charges for allegedly stabbing Metcalf to death during a dispute under a tent at a track meet He was disclosed from the Collin County Jail after his bond was reduced from million to The news conference addressed more than in GiveSendGo funds that have been donated to the Anthony family after his arrest and rumors the money was being spent improperly The second focus was supposed to be Anthony's mother Kayla Hayes who read a message on behalf of the family that was prepared by attorneys MOURNING MOTHER TWIN BROTHER OF SLAIN TEXAS TEEN SPEAK OUT LOST MY BEST FRIEND IN THE BLINK OF AN EYE But the event devolved into accusations of racism and bigotry along with Alexander's admonishment of Jeff Metcalf before either topic was even discussed What we've seen at the beginning of this press conference of the father being at this press conference these are my words don't quote anybody is a disrespect to the dignity of his son Alexander disclosed Next Generation Action Organization from the beginning has respected the loss of life no matter our opinion of it We have kept our opinion close he explained We have not attacked We have not shared the information that was shared with us about Austin Metcalf because we respect the dignity of life and loss GRIEVING TEXAS FATHER SPEAKS OUT AFTER SON WAS STABBED TO DEATH AT HIGH SCHOOL TRACK MEET That was disrespectful and just shows you all the character Alexander stated He was not invited He knows that it's inappropriate to be near this family but he did it So I say to people actions speak louder than words Alexander declared Jeff Metcalf needed to focus on politics and bigotry What he has felled sic into is the political operatives that want to make this thing a political thing of hate and yet bigotry and yet racism he announced We have conservative operatives that have been posting nonstop about this situation He then moved onto the issue of the online charity fundraiser Alexander explained none of the money from the GiveSendGo has been spent and any suggestion otherwise is intentional disinformation Let's be clear he declared The family has not received one dime Alexander then ranted about the Frisco Independent School District's plans to expel Anthony a month before graduation He noted that Anthony has a GPA and that even if he didn't go to class for the rest of the year he would still be able to graduate THE STABBING DEATH OF AUSTIN METCALF DEVASTATED OUR ENTIRE POPULATION SAYS GREG WILLISHe also appeared to subtly shift blame for Metcalf's death from Anthony to the school district intimating that the school should have canceled the April track meet in the first place because of inclement weather Because as a person who is the administrator of yet children you are responsible for the safety of the children he revealed And so it seems as if Frisco ISD is trying to push this off by making the decision to expel Anthony that they do not have to make While Frisco ISD cannot comment on an individual student's disciplinary record due to novice privacy law we can provide general information about district protocol and relevant law a spokesperson for the district explained Fox News Digital If the school recommends expulsion which means the attendee is removed from school the pupil is not allowed to go on any Frisco ISD property while the decision is being made the spokesperson explained A meeting will be held where the pupil can share their side of the story and show any evidence After the meeting the district will decide whether to go through with the expulsion and will let the candidate and parents know Before completely turning the conference over to Hayes Alexander commented on Judge Angela Tucker a Black Republican presiding over the event But the ugly attacks on her just shows Black America that no matter what you pick in the ballot box and that is your constitutional right it's people out here reminding us of the Black struggle in America TEXAS TRACK MEET STABBING SUSPECT ADVISED RESPONDING OFFICERS HE DID IT DOCSAn emotional Hayes spoke only briefly Our family has been under attack she reported Whatever you think what happened between Karmelo and the Metcalf boy my three younger children my husband and I didn't do anything to deserve to be threatened harassed and lied about She noted such lies have put her family in danger along with the locality and those involved in the scrutiny Our address and my husband's previous employer's address has been put on all social media platforms she disclosed My husband had to take a leave of absence because he's afraid of what may happen to our family She mentioned her husband's mental healthcare is deteriorating and her daughter is afraid to sleep in her own bed Hayes echoed Alexander's sentiment that the GiveSendGo funds have not been used by the family at all After Hayes spoke Alexander returned to the issue of race Because these racist bigots try to prevent us from standing up for our baby our boy he should be afforded the same rights that Kyle Rittenhouse had Daniel Penny and all the people who have claimed whatever their defense was he should be afforded the same right Alexander noted Nobody in the society media has one video but we got the video of Kyle Rittenhouse with an AK- shooting three people in the back he explained We got that and he raised more than million publicly and nobody announced anything about that Jeff Metcalf previously described Fox News I want to clarify something right off to start because I've already heard particular rumors and gossip This was not a race thing This is not a political thing Do not politicize this It's not this is a human being thing This person made a bad choice and affected both his family and my family forever Metcalf added that Austin was the light of my life He disclosed on America Reports that Austin died in the arms of his twin brother Hunter who desperately tried to stop the bleeding They were so tight They had the best bond They were best friends Metcalf revealed of the pair And now I have to focus on taking care of Hunter Metcalf also mentioned forgiveness People ask me how can you forgive this other person I disclosed I forgive the other person because the forgiveness is not for him The forgiveness is for me so I can have peace he announced His life is destroyed My life is destroyed Metcalf was killed after an altercation under a Memorial High School tent at the track meet The arrest assessment from the affair reported Anthony grabbed his bag opened it and reached inside it and narrated Metcalf Touch me and see what happens In the next moment a witness explained police Anthony reached into his bag and the male took a knife out of the bag and stabbed Austin The witness informed the officer Anthony fled after the stabbing Metcalf died in his twin brother's arms Anthony recounted the responding school fund officer who cuffed him upon arrival he was protecting himself The officer also noted blood on Anthony's left middle finger One responding officer referred to Anthony as the alleged suspect Anthony made a spontaneous declaration according to the assessment saying I'm not alleged I did it Anthony also urged the officers if Metcalf was going to be OK and urged if what happened could be considered self-defense the description explained Fox News Digital's Madison Colombo contributed to this overview
