Karmelo Anthony indicted for murder in stabbing death of Austin Metcalf at Frisco ISD track meet
Karmelo Anthony, the 18-year-old accused of fatally stabbing another teen during an altercation at a Frisco ISD track meet in early April, was indicted for murder by a Collin County grand jury on Tuesday.
Anthony was arrested on April 2 in connection with the stabbing 17-year-old Austin Metcalf during a track meet at Kuykendall Stadium.
The teen, who is facing a first-degree murder charge, has been on house arrest since being released on a reduced bond on April 14.
Frisco ISD releases video of the stabbing
Frisco ISD released surveillance footage of the fatal incident in mid-June.
The video recording began several minutes before the altercation between Anthony and Metcalf. The camera, positioned near the press box, captured half of the field at Kuykendall Stadium.
The tent where the incident occurred is located in the bleachers near the 50-yard line. Due to the camera's distance, individuals are not easily identifiable in the images.
At about 9:55 a.m., a sudden movement is seen under the tent, followed by interaction between two figures. Frisco ISD officials said this is the moment the stabbing occurred. Several people can be seen walking or running away, while others approached the area.

Minutes later, an ambulance arrived, entering through the gate near the end zone and driving to the 50-yard line. Paramedics appeared to realize they couldn't reach Metcalf, who is in the bleachers, with the stretcher. They return it to the end zone, then carry it into the stands.
While paramedics worked on Metcalf, someone placed crime scene tape and unrolled a blue tarp higher in the stands behind the tent, according to the footage. Police later said this is where the knife used in the stabbing was found.
Anthony was quickly taken into custody.
How Anthony reacted after his arrest
Once the arresting officer said, "I have the alleged suspect [in custody]," Anthony reportedly told the officer, "I'm not alleged, I did it."
Anthony then said that Metcalf put his hands on him after he asked him not to, according to the affidavit.
After Anthony was placed inside a police vehicle, he asked an officer if Metcalf was going to be okay and if what happened could be considered self-defense.

Live Updates: New Yorkers Hurry to Vote Before Polls Close in Democratic Primary for Mayor
Anthony Weiner, after serving a prison sentence for sharing explicit photos with a minor, is running for City Council in Manhattan. Anthony Weiner, posted on a sunbaked corner of the East Village on Tuesday, had stooped to hear an older woman tell him that she had just voted for him when a much younger woman stopped, took a quick selfie in front of the candidate and muttered 'pedophile.' 'What did she say?' the older woman asked. 'Supports another candidate,' Mr. Weiner deadpanned. That he is himself a candidate is a plot twist in a story that many believed had ended badly. Mr. Weiner resigned from Congress in 2011 following a sexting scandal. A second sexting scandal cost him a run for mayor in 2013. Four years later, he was convicted of a felony and served 18 months in prison for sharing sexually explicit photos and texts with a 15-year-old girl. He is now seeking an improbable comeback, running for a City Council seat in Lower Manhattan, asking voters to return him to an office he first won in 1991, in his mid-20s, in a Brooklyn district. During his campaign, he has owned those dark episodes without, as he put it, 'wallowing' in them — 'contrition, but not scraping.' He hopes his practical, street-level ideas to fix what ails the city — hire more police officers, find proper care for the mentally ill and homeless living in parks — attract voters ready to set aside his past. 'I can't think of another political campaign that's quite like this,' he said. One thing that is undeniable, watching him greet person after person under a punishing midday sun that reduced his pole-thin shadow to a sliver, is that Mr. Weiner loves this part of the game. He is a tireless retail politician. 'You guys vote yet?' he asked a passing couple. 'We're not from here.' 'Maybe someday!' he replied. He recalls running for the Council in 1991 and has pictures of himself that year, looking gaunt and strung out. 'I'd be out at 2 in the morning at a 24-hour-supermarket, walking the aisles,' looking for voters, he said. 'I always thought to be good at this job, you have to like this stuff — I do,' he said between greetings. 'When I was cranky, my staff would send me to a senior center.' He said the idea of running for office again sounded ridiculous just months ago. 'Did you forget how that turned out the first time?' he'd ask people urging him to step forward. Then he found himself running out of reasons to say no. He felt the city needed to move in new directions and urged others to run for office. 'But I wasn't willing to do it, because someone might say something mean to me. It didn't seem fair,' he said. And he looked around and found himself in ample company of fallen politicians from the #MeToo movement testing the waters of voter forgiveness. Why not him as well? On the corner, a woman asked for a selfie. He smiled for the camera and asked, 'Did you vote for me?' 'Yes,' she said. 'If I win by one vote, I'll know who to thank.' The woman, a 34-year-old high school teacher who did not want to give her name, walked away down the block, and confided, 'I did not vote for him. What was I going to say? I grew up here, and I know the history of Anthony Weiner.' And, she said, she wants a woman in that seat.

Dave Sanders for The New York Times The woman who had called him a pedophile stepped out of a nearby bagel shop with her order and ignored the candidate on her return trip. By then, Kevin Mahon, a lifetime New Yorker, had stopped to tell Mr. Weiner he appreciated his nuanced thoughts on crime — that while it is down overall, isolated incidents continue to make people uneasy. 'The pandemic, the homeless on the street, rattled everyone,' Mr. Mahon said. As for Mr. Weiner's past, 'Everyone's got it,' he said. 'He did his time, whatever. He deserves a shot.' Mr. Weiner, who is facing four other Democrats in the primary, was wearing his third shirt of the day by 10 a.m., having sweated through the first two. He and his team — 'the pirates,' he calls them — were on the streets at 4 a.m. posting campaign signs outside the district's more than two dozen polling places. The election capped a surreal couple of weeks. Earlier this month, his former wife, Huma Abedin — she divorced Mr. Weiner during the scandals — married Alex Soros, the son of the billionaire donor George Soros, in a lavish wedding in the Hamptons that attracted Democratic royalty. 'I didn't go,' Mr. Weiner quipped, then softened. 'I'm very, very happy for her,' he said. Another woman asked for a selfie, guiding Mr. Weiner to face the sun for better lighting. 'Let's take a whole montage,' he said, and she walked away smiling. 'He's an interesting New Yorker,' she said. There was a time when his friends suggested Mr. Weiner should pack up and leave the city for someplace where he could lie low and be anonymous. He had a standard reply. 'Do I look like I would fit in anywhere else?'

Auto thefts drop across North Texas, the I-Team finds
After several years of skyrocketing numbers, auto thefts have fallen across Texas. Reports from the Texas Department of Public Safety show an overall decrease of 17% from 2023 to 2024, and the I-Team analyzed data to find some local cities reporting even better results. CBS News Texas Dallas sees decrease in stolen cars For example, Dallas experienced a 23% decline, with numbers continuing to fall in early 2025. The police department credits the decrease to several efforts, including faster intake of reports and an increase in cameras across the city. According to Major Raymario Sanchez, state funding paid for an additional 200 Flock cameras along streets and intersections, which alert officers to stolen vehicles in real time. "Wherever it hits in the city, let's say it's 75 and Northwest highway, it will notify the officer that's where the vehicle's at," Sanchez said. "And they can track it from there and follow behind once they get with it." Auto theft hot spots While the numbers are down, thieves are targeting a new set of hot spots in the city. Sanchez said the area around the NorthPark Center mall used to top the list, but now that distinction goes to Bishop Arts. Employees in that area said a few of the recent thefts involved gig workers. "A lot of delivery drivers who are here to pick up their food will just run in," said Bethany Mieth, the owner of Oasis Plant Shop. She said with limited parking, some drivers leave their cars in the street. "And I think people will just wait, and they'll jump in and take their car." Here are the current hot spots for auto thefts in Dallas, according to DPD: Bishop Arts area Technology and Northwest Highway area Exall Park area Kessler Plaza area Pinnacle Point Drive area The I-Team compiled data from dozens of cities to build this map showing changes from 2023 to 2024. Tracking thieves Cameras are also helping bring down the crime in White Settlement, where auto thefts fell 26%. "You can't enter our city without being on a camera," said Chris Cook, the police chief. "I'll give credit to the team, they're really working hard. When those Flock hits alert on a stolen vehicle, they're going after it, even if it's not stolen here." Cook said grants from the state helped pay for extra manpower to target the hot spots in the city, including the hotels and motels. "We pair officers together and they can work overtime," said Cook. "And they were concentrating, really saturating those areas." Owners fight back The I-Team found it's not just police, but vehicle owners are also stepping up security with a mix of new and old technology. At a recent car meet-up in Keller, people said they used a range of tools to keep their cars secure, from kill switch devices and Apple AirTags to The Club, a steering wheel locking device. In Dallas, the I-Team met a man who said his anti-theft system has prevented thieves from stealing his truck at least four times. The technology, from Texas-based company Ravelco, is a twist on a kill switch and has been around since the 1970s. The only way to start the vehicle is by plugging in a cap that completes electrical circuits, allowing the engine to turn over. "It takes them too long to figure out what the combination would be to complete the circuits," Neuman said. "Thieves don't want to spend that much time trying to figure out how to steal your vehicle." He showed the I-Team surveillance video of the last time thieves attempted to steal his truck from his driveway in March. It shows four men armed with guns and a tablet spend more than three minutes trying to start the pickup. At one point, two of them aim their guns at Neuman's front door. Neuman had no idea what was happening at the time, but he said the video is unsettling. "My girls' bedrooms are at the front of the house," he said. "When you see video of someone pointing guns at your front door and at the bedrooms of your kids, you get really scared."

Suspect killed, officer injured in Baltimore shooting as bodycam captures cries of 'cease fire'
Body camera footage provided a timeline of a fatal officer-involved shooting in Baltimore that resulted in the death of 36-year-old Bilal Yusuf-Muhammad Abdullah Jr. According to the Baltimore Police Department (BPD), the incident occurred at approximately 7:17 p.m. June 17 in West Baltimore, near the intersection of Pennsylvania Avenue and Laurens Streets. The incident resulted in the death of Abdullah, and one officer was shot in the foot during the confrontation. According to authorities, officers patrolling the area observed a man they believed to be armed. The initial engagement began from an unmarked cruiser, where officers attempted to speak with Abdullah, the department said. When one officer exited the vehicle to approach on foot, Abdullah began to walk away. As the officer followed, Abdullah shifted a crossbody bag to the front of his body and fled. A second officer exited the cruiser to assist, while a third officer, who was stationed in a nearby marked patrol vehicle, responded. As officers closed in on Abdullah, he allegedly pointed a handgun and fired, striking an officer in the foot. "Cease fire, cease fire," an officer is heard yelling in the footage. In response, three officers returned fire, striking Abdullah. Both the injured officer and Abdullah were transported to the University of Maryland Shock Trauma Center. At 11:14 p.m., Abdullah was pronounced dead. The injured officer, an eight-year veteran of the department, underwent surgery and was listed in fair condition the following afternoon. A gun was recovered and secured by police. Body camera footage captured a crowd gathering after the shooting. Authorities noted that the crowd delayed their ability to provide immediate aid. Once the scene was stabilized, officers rendered emergency medical assistance until paramedics arrived. The shooting is under joint investigation by the Baltimore Police Department's Special Investigative Response Team (SIRT), the Homicide Section and the Maryland Office of the Attorney General. Fox News Digital has reached out to the Baltimore Police Department for comment.
