Bond for Karmelo Anthony lowered to $250,000 in alleged murder of Austin Metcalf

Collin County District Judge Angela Tucker reduced the bond for 17-year-old Karmelo Anthony, charged with first-degree murder in the stabbing death of Austin Metcalf, from $1 million to $250,000. Anthony’s attorney, Mike Howard, stated he will post bond, though the timing is uncertain, and conditions include house arrest and an ankle monitor. The case will proceed to a grand jury after the Frisco police complete their investigation, and if convicted, Anthony cannot face the death penalty due to his age.
