Austin Metcalf’s twin brother ripped convicted killer Karmelo Anthony in a blistering victim impact statement, telling him that while his slain sibling’s memory will live on, “eventually your name will be forgotten.”
Hunter Metcalf, who was born two minutes after Austin, unleashed the stinging rebuke after Anthony, 19, was slapped with a 35-year sentence Tuesday in the fatal stabbing of his 17-year-old brother.
“You took a son, a brother, a friend, and my best friend, from this world. You took someone from me who was supposed to be an uncle, godfather to my kids. Now I want everything taken from you,” Hunter choked through tears in a Texas courtroom, CBS Texas reported.
“Eventually your name will be forgotten,” he added. “But my brother’s memory will live on.”
The baby-faced teen killer was found guilty of first-degree murder for the death of Metcalf, a high school athlete he fatally knifed during a dispute at a track and field meet in Frisco on April 2, 2025.
Anthony reportedly sobbed his way through the verdict and sentencing — and kept his head down when Metcalf’s devastated loved ones started reading their victim impact statements.
“We were robbed!” Metcalf’s father, Jeff, cried out as he fumed at Anthony, “Don’t look down!”
“You failed your parents, you failed yourself, and you failed society … You don’t belong in this community. You’re going to prison. I forgave you the day it happened. I don’t forgive what you did. You can’t look me in the eyes but you can stab my f–king son!”
The Metcalf family left the court when Hunter, who spoke last, finished his speech.
Anthony was officially remanded into custody and removed from the courtroom moments later.
