A trial date has been set in Karmelo Anthony’s murd3r case following his indictment for the alleged k%lling of Austin Metcalf.
Anthony is set to stand trial for murd3r after confessing to st%bbing Metcalf during a dispute at a high school track meet earlier this year.
According to pertinent court documents, Anthony’s trial will begin on June 1, 2026.
“A court official tells TMZ Sports that date is tentative — and it’s entirely possible it gets pushed out further. But, the official added it’s rare set dates ever get moved up,” TMZ Sports notes.
Anthony is facing a charge of first-degree murd3r, with a grand jury having gone over prosecutorial evidence and determining that there is indeed a case to answer.
He has been adamant that he was defending himself, while his lawyer, Mike Howard, has echoed the same and declared that “the jury will reach the right conclusion and justice will be done” once due process is undertaken.
A docket control hearing to establish a trial timeline has also been scheduled for next week, but the defendant is not required to attend.
Anthony, who is facing life imprisonment if found guilty, was initially held on a $1 million bond but was released after it was brought down to $250,000. He remains under house arrest and wears an ankle monitor, with permission necessary for him to leave his home.
The case has impacted both the Anthony and Metcalf families as one is fighting to keep their son while the other has lost theirs and is pushing for justice.
Social media personality Charleston White recently apologized publicly to the Anthony family after meeting them and going over details regarding the incident. He now claims to be of the view that Anthony acted in self-defense.
White also expects the teenager to beat the charges.
Brittney Griner Finally Breaks Her Silence Over Alleged Caitlin Clark Comments That The WNBA Refused To Investigate

WNBA star Brittney Griner was at the center of a new debate over what she allegedly said in a game against basketball phenom Caitlin Clark.
The Atlanta Dream center found herself at the center of social media controversy last month when some fans thought she disparaged Indiana Fever star guard Caitlin Clark upon fouling out.
The game’s broadcast focused on an upset Griner saying something as she returned to the Dream bench after fouling out of the game. While there’s no audio of this moment, some who tried to read Griner’s lips thought she called Clark a “trash f–king white girl.”
However, there’s no proof of Griner saying those actual words since others thought she stated something else.
It took weeks for someone to finally get a quote from her, and she provided much of nothing.
Brittney Griner was asked about this moment before her team’s June 15 game against the Washington Mystics and said, “I remember fouling out, being mad. I remember fouling out on, I believe it was [Natasha] Howard driving to the basket. They said I put my hand in.”

Moments before the conclusion of the Indiana Fever’s 81-76 victory over the Dream at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta weeks ago, cameras seemingly caught Atlanta Dream star center Brittney Griner labeling Caitlin Clark “trash” before calling her a “f***ing white girl” in frustration over a foul on Natasha Howard.
The clip of Griner speaking on the bench, lacking context, spread on social media and went viral.
Griner, who won a gold medal for Team USA at the Summer Olympics in Paris in 2024, essentially got aw@y with whatever came out of her mouth because the league basically ignored the controversy.
This incident is not the only time Griner vocalized her frustrations this season. Following another game, she stormed off mid-interview, yelling at the referees to “be f—ing better.
