The family of Texas teenager Austin Metcalf is continuing to receive threats following the conviction of Karmelo Anthony, while law enforcement agencies are also reviewing allegations involving supporters of Anthony after videos surfaced online claiming to show acts of intimidation and violence, as reported by Fox News.

Anthony was convicted of murder on Tuesday and sentenced to 35 years in prison for the killing of Metcalf during a high school track meet in Frisco, Texas, in April 2025. Both teenagers were 17 years old at the time of the incident.

Following the verdict, Anthony filed a notice of appeal seeking to challenge his conviction.

'Should've stabbed hunter too.' That's the message sent to the family of Austin Metcalf — the 17-year-old fatally stabbed at a high school track meet — after his killer Karmelo Anthony was convicted and sentenced to 35 years.

In the days after the sentencing, reports began circulating online alleging that some supporters of Anthony had made threats directed at the Metcalf family.

Authorities are also investigating a separate video that allegedly depicts an assault connected to the case.

One video posted on X appeared to show a bicyclist confronting and allegedly attacking a man in Jacksonville, Florida. The footage was recorded from the perspective of the rider.

According to reports, the individual recording the video questioned the man about whether he had participated in jury selection connected to Anthony’s trial.

A woman’s voice can also be heard in the recording, identifying the alleged victim as a military veteran.

The Jacksonville Sheriff's Office confirmed it is reviewing the matter.

“We are aware of this video circulating on social media and are actively looking into the video’s origin and parties involved,” the department said in a statement provided to Fox News Digital.

The controversy surrounding the case also extended to online fundraising efforts.

A GoFundMe campaign established on behalf of Anthony briefly raised several hundred dollars before it was removed from the platform. According to GoFundMe, the fundraiser collected $726 before being shut down and refunded.

The company cited its longstanding policies prohibiting legal-defense fundraising for individuals charged with violent crimes.

“GoFundMe’s Terms of Service explicitly prohibit fundraisers that raise money for the legal defense of anyone formally charged with a violent crime,” the company said.

“Consistent with this long-standing policy, any fundraising campaigns for the legal defense of someone charged with murder are removed from the platform and fully refunded. As such, the fundraiser has been removed from the platform, and the $726 raised has been refunded.”

Meanwhile, family members of Austin Metcalf say they continue to face harassment and threats following the verdict.

According to reports cited by TMZ, one family member received a text message that read, “He [Austin] ------ around and found out.”

Another message reportedly stated, “Should've stabbed hunter too.”

Hunter Metcalf is Austin’s twin brother.

TMZ also reported that individuals had allegedly threatened to appear at family residences and made comments regarding Austin’s gravesite.

The identities of the individuals responsible for the messages have not been publicly identified, and it remains unclear which specific family members received the communications.

Austin’s father, Jeff Metcalf, previously told CBS that he had continued receiving threats and harassment related to the case.

Jeff Metcalf also reported that his personal information had previously been exposed online.

According to CBS, a separate incident last August resulted in a SWAT response to the family’s Frisco home after authorities received emergency calls that prompted officers to respond with weapons drawn.

Jurors involved in Anthony’s trial have not publicly commented on the verdict or sentencing.

The case has drawn national attention since the fatal confrontation at the Frisco track meet and has continued to generate intense reactions online throughout the legal proceedings.

Fox News Digital reported that requests for comment were sent to the Metcalf family and the Frisco Police Department regarding the reported threats.

As Anthony’s appeal process moves forward, law enforcement agencies continue reviewing allegations involving online threats and potential acts of intimidation connected to the case.
