Karmelo Anthony’s Uncle Blames Family For 35 Year Sentence 💔
A high school track meet is supposed to be a place of youthful competition, community, and pride. But in one agonizing, split-second escalation over a seat in the bleachers, it became a crime scene that would forever destroy two families.
Today, 19-year-old Camello Anthony sits behind bars, beginning a 35-year prison sentence. In the ground lies 17-year-old Austin Metcalf, a young man who will never get to grow up, buy a house, or get married. Two teenagers who had never even met before that fatal day are now permanently bound by a single moment of violence.
