Karmelo Anthony’s attorney claims that his client does “feel remorse” for murdering 17-year-old Austin Metcalf with a knife at a track meet in Texas in April 2025.

The 19-year-old was sentenced to 35 years in prison for his crime, which has led to cries of racism from the usual crowd because Anthony is black and Metcalf was white. TMZ spoke with Anthony’s lead defense attorney, Mike Howard, following the verdict, and he said he’s not totally sure of his former client’s state of mind but can say he believes Anthony is sorry.
