According to one of the officers who responded, the suspect, Karmelo Anthony, 17, admitted to having stabbed Austin Metcalf, 17, claiming self -defense.
When an officer referred to Anthony as the alleged suspect, Anthony replied: “I’m not alleged, I did.”
According to the arrest report, the tragic event began with the suspect sitting under the emerging store of another team when the rain fell on Wednesday morning and told him to move.
According to the police, the two students from different secondary schools began to fight.
A witness told the police that Anthony unbuttoned a bag in which he had reached, he told the victim [Metcalf]: “Touch me and look what happens.”
A short time later, the report says: “Austin grabbed Anthony to tell him to move and Anthony withdrew … A black knife and stabbed Austin once in the chest.”
The murder suspect escaped before being arrested by the officers who responded.
The report says that a school resource officer at the nearby Staley Secondary School was the first at the scene at the Kuykendall Stadium.
He says Anthony told the officer: “I was protecting me” and, “he put my hands.”
According to the reports, Anthony asked an officer on the scene if what happened could be considered self -defense and asked if the victim was going to be fine.
Anthony is accused of murder and is in the Collin County prison with a bail of $ 1 million.
If he is convicted, he faces 5 to 99 years in prison.
In a new police photo published Thursday by the Collin County Sheriff’s office, Anthony seemed less emotional than in the photo of the photo taken after his arrest on Wednesday.
After the incident, the Frisco Police said that Anthony, a student at the Centennial High School, stabbed Metcalf, a commemorative high school student, during an altercation.
The Frisco and the School District refused to provide new information or interviews on Thursday.
The district spokesman did not answer the questions posed by many online parents, including what type of security was on the site for the morning track meeting and if the athletes bags are reviewed.
“Frisco ISD does not use metal detectors in a school, so it would be unusual for them to have them in an athletic event of this nature,” said school security expert and former Dallas Police Chief of Dallas Isd Craig Miller.
Miller does not participate in the investigation, but agreed to provide information on school security.
He says that it would not be unusual for Frisco ISD to have a lower presence of school resource officers available in competitions such as Wednesday.
“When you listen to these cases, the tragic circumstances surprise you,” said defense lawyer and former prosecutor Russell Wilson.
Wilson is not involved in this case either, but agreed to give legal information on the position and potential impact of the location of the mortal encounter.
“The Prosecutor’s Office will say that this is a place where an incident like this would not expect,” said Wilson. “I would probably expect the defense to say that this clue meeting did not go to this incident with the intention of an altercation like this.”
If words were exchanged, it may not matter, says Wilson.
“However, the Texas Law does not allow a person to use the deadly force in response to verbal provocation,” he said.
It is important to keep in mind that Wilson spoke with NBC 5 before the arrest warrant alleged that the victim pushed the suspect who was released.
Memorial High paused Thursday morning during the second period to remember the 11th grade student.
“There are no words to describe how disconsolate our family is about this,” said Karders, co -owner of Halo Pizzeria in Frisco. “It was so unnecessary.”
Ordas began a collection of online funds for Meghan Needham, mother of Austin and Hunter Metcalf. She says that Needham took a second job in the restaurant to help pay her son’s sports activities.
“Both children are a direct result of their work ethics,” said Ordas. “Very educated, very friendly.”
The murderer accused of Metcalf is in jail. According to prison records, approved visitors include their parents, brothers and girlfriend.
NBC 5 efforts to get to the suspect’s family to comment have not been successful.
