Eyewitness: Karmelo Anthony ‘Provoked’ Austin Metcalf Before Fatal Stabbing

Summary

During testimony Saturday in what appears to be a high-profile stabbing case, multiple eyewitnesses contradicted Karmelo Anthony's self-defense claim by asserting he provoked 17-year-old Austin Metcalf before fatally stabbing him in the chest. The witnesses' accounts directly undermine Anthony's legal strategy as the case proceeds through court proceedings. The specific details of the provocation and circumstances surrounding the fatal encounter remain central to determining whether Anthony's self-defense assertion will hold up under scrutiny.
