The last moments of Austin Metcalf’s life were filled with chaos and pain—and his twin brother, Hunter, was there to witness it all. The 17-year-old track star was stabbed during a competition in Frisco, Texas, after a confrontation with another student over seating arrangements.
According to reports, Austin had asked Karmelo Anthony to move from a tent in the stands. The exchange escalated, and Anthony allegedly pulled a knife, striking Austin in the chest. Hunter, who was by his brother’s side, desperately tried to stop the bleeding as they waited for help.
Austin’s final social media post, shared just days before his death, has since gone viral. “Faith that God got me and that my work will pay off,” he wrote—a message now echoing as a heartbreaking farewell. His father, Jeff Metcalf, described him as a natural leader with an unwavering passion for football.
As Anthony sits in jail on a $1 million bond, the community rallies around Austin’s family, left to mourn a life taken far too soon.
