The attorney for Karmelo Anthony, the 17-year-old accused of murdering football star Austin Metcalf at a Texas track meet, insists he doesn’t have “any reason” to think the killing “wasn’t in self defense” — and will request the teen’s bond be lowered from $1,000,000.

Austin Metcalf, a 17-year-old high school student and footballer, was fatally stabbed in the heart during a track meet in Frisco, Texas. The altercation, which lasted mere seconds, was over a seat. Stabbing perpetrator Karmelo Anthony has been arrested and charged with murder.

Austin Metcalf's mother has sent a chilling message to the 17-year-old football player's killer following his stabbing death.
