911 Recordings Reveal Track Meet Tragedy

New 911 recordings reveal the harrowing, chaotic minutes after Austin Metcalf, a 17-year-old high school athlete, was stabbed during a track meet—friends and coaches desperately tried to save him as bystanders held back the suspect, Karmelo Anthony, until police arrived. One caller described the scene as “bleeding everywhere,” while a coach reported the teen was unconscious and not breathing. An Army veteran applied pressure to the wound as others performed CPR. The recordings, released as court exhibits, show the raw panic and tragic outcome, as Anthony, later found guilty of murder, claimed self-defense, saying Metcalf started the fight. Surveillance and bodycam footage confirmed Anthony fled and admitted to the stabbing. Metcalf died at the scene, and the jury sentenced Anthony to 35 years in prison—a verdict that underscores the community’s grief and the gravity of the incident.
