TRAGEDY STRIKES HIGH SCHOOL TRACK MEET: STAR FOOTBALL PLAYER STABBED TO DEATH OVER SEAT DISPUTE
In a shocking turn of events, a star high school football player was fatally stabbed at a track meet in Frisco, Texas, igniting outrage and grief within the community. Austin Metave, a 17-year-old linebacker and MVP at Memorial High School, died tragically in the arms of his twin brother, Hunter, after a confrontation over a seating dispute.
The incident unfolded on April 2, 2025, at QY Kindle Stadium, where Austin and Hunter approached Carmelo Anthony, a student from Frisco Centennial, who was seated in a section reserved for Memorial students. Eyewitness accounts reveal that a heated exchange ensued, leading to Austin allegedly grabbing Carmelo’s backpack. In a shocking escalation, Carmelo pulled out a knife and stabbed Austin, who succumbed to his injuries shortly after being rushed to the hospital.
As the community grapples with the senseless loss, the suspect, now charged with first-degree murder, faces a $1 million bond. Austin’s father, Jeff Metave, expressed his devastation, sharing how his sons were inseparable, and now one is left to navigate life without his twin. “It doesn’t make sense; my son is gone because of a senseless act,” he lamented.
Supporters of both families have taken to social media, igniting a heated debate over the circumstances of the altercation. While some allege bullying and entitlement, others defend Carmelo as a victim of aggression from the twins. The narrative continues to evolve, but one truth remains: a vibrant young life has been extinguished, leaving a community in mourning and searching for answers.
As memorials spring up in Austin’s honor, the Frisco community is left to confront this tragic reminder of how quickly life can change over a moment of conflict. The police investigation is ongoing, and the community is urged to come together during this heartbreaking time.
