YouTube Description
as posted by the channelAn altercation at a Texas track meet leaves a student dead and another facing a first-degree murder charge.
Sides are clearly drawn in this case since the dead teen is white.
17-year-old Karmelo Anthony says he was only protecting himself when Austin Metcalf, according to witness statements to police, tried to shove Anthony, who attended a rival high school, out of a pop-up tent when Anthony grabbed a knife from his backpack and stabbed Metcalf in the heart.
Anthony is out on bond. His parents held a news conference today, and Metcalf's father showed up. Police eventually escorted him out.
Anthony's mother, Kayla Hayes, explained what her family has been going through since the April 2 incident.
The judge, Angela Tucker, who reduced his bail, is getting death threats.
Joining me now is Minister Dominique Alexander, the Founder of the Next Generation Action Network.
