The death of 17-year-old Austin Metcalf has sparked widespread misinformation and conspiracy theories, particularly on social media, following his tragic
stabbing on April 2 at Kuykendall Stadium. Austin was allegedly stabbed by another 17-year-old, Karmelo Anthony, during a confrontation. False posts, including
one claiming Metcalf died from a drug overdose, have circulated widely. Another fraudulent post, impersonating the Frisco police chief, suggested Metcalf was
involved in a mutual combat situation with Anthony. The Frisco Police Department has confirmed that these posts are false. Karmelo Anthony is facing a first-

public to trust only verified sources. Despite the chaos on social media, the Frisco community remains focused on supporting the affected families
