New images released Friday show the fatal wound Austin Metcalf sustained when Karmelo Anthony stabbed him with a knife during a confrontation at a Texas high school track meet, as well as the moments after the killing.
The photos were made public Friday by Collin County court following Anthony's first-degree murder conviction earlier this month.
Among the other images released were a blood-soaked jacket and the folding Ozark Trail multi-tool knife prosecutors said was used to fatally stab Metcalf, as well as the bleachers at David Kuykendall Stadium in Frisco, Texas, on April 2, 2025.
A folding pocketknife with a dark blade and gray handle used to murder Austin Metcalf is photographed by authorities at the scene in Texas.
The newly released trial exhibits from the murder case include crime scene photos, images of the knife prosecutors said was used in the stabbing, 911 calls and police body-camera footage shown to jurors.

The body-camera video captures the moments after Anthony was taken into custody following the fatal stabbing of Metcalf at a high school track meet. In the footage, Anthony is heard telling officers, "He put his hands on me. I told him not to. He put his hands on me."
Anthony used a blade to stab Metcalf after the teen and his brother confronted him for sitting in their team’s tent at Memorial High School. Anthony, who was 17 at the time, admitted he stabbed Metcalf but claimed he acted in self-defense.
Karmelo Anthony is photographed handcuffed in a police vehicle with blood visible on his left-hand finger.
Anthony was sentenced this month to 35 years in prison for the stabbing, which ignited a wave of criticism from Anthony's supporters over the makeup of the jury. Anthony will be eligible for parole after serving half his sentence.
