The father of a 17-year-old teenager who was stabbed while at a track meet has made a desperate plea to stop the school from ‘rewarding’ an alleged killer.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Austin Metcalf was stabbed in the heart when he out with his younger brother, Hunter, at the track and field championship at Kuykendall Stadium in Frisco on April 2.<\/p>\n

Karmelo Anthony<\/a>, 18, is accused of pulling out a knife during a fight over seats in the stands. Metcalf is said to have died in his brother’s arms.<\/p>\n

Speaking to NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth, police stated that officers were called to the scene at approximately 10am, stating: “Despite lifesaving measures by\u00a0police<\/a>\u00a0and fire personnel, including CPR and the administration of blood, the (17)-year-old victim died.”<\/p>\n

Frisco police\u00a0arrested<\/a>\u00a0and charged Anthony, releasing him from jail and allowing him to be held on house arrest, according to NBC News.<\/p>\n

In recent developments, Jeffrey Metcalf, Austin’s father, has filed a formal complaint about Centennial High\u00a0School<\/a>\u00a0awarding Anthony his diploma amid the ongoing accusations.<\/p>\n

Dominque Alexander, Anthony’s spokesperson, confirmed to the Daily Mail that a complaint had been put through.<\/p>\n

“Now you have a father filing a complaint to the TEA [Texas Education Agency],” he\u00a0said<\/a>.<\/p>\n

While Anthony looks set to receive his diploma, the Daily Mail reports the suspected killer is not expected to be involved in the graduation ceremony or walk on the stage at Frisco Independent School District to collect his reward as he remains under house arrest.<\/p>\n

UNILAD has reached out to Frisco ISD for comment.<\/p>\n

“We are in arrangements of doing an early gradation. They have agreed to allow him to graduate. They were literally trying to expel him – period,” Alexander said last week.<\/p>\n

Last month, Metcalf admitted to\u00a0showing up at a press conference<\/a>\u00a0which was held by the Anthony\u2019s family, who suggested they plan to fight their son\u2019s first-degree murder charge.<\/p>\n

Anthony\u2019s mother, Kala Hayes, spoke about \u2018lies and false accusations that have been said about us, especially over the past week\u2019 as she claimed they \u2018put my family in danger.\u2019<\/p>\n

The suspected killer’s parents previously claimed he acted in self-defence when Austin allegedly attacked him.<\/p>\n

When Metcalf turned up at the press conference, he said that he was \u2018disrespected\u2019 when he was escorted from the conference by police.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey should have pulled me up [to the front] and said, \u2018We are so sorry. Our condolences.\u2019 The only thing I would have said was, \u2018Okay, can we pray together and show the world we\u2019re united’,\u201d he\u00a0told\u00a0<\/a>the New York Post.<\/p>\n
