Austin Metcalf’s mother has sent a message to her son’s killer following the tragic death of the young football player earlier this week.
Metcalf, 17, was stabbed during a high school track meet at Kuykendall Stadium in Frisco, Texas, on April 2. He was pronounced dead shortly after being taken to a hospital.
His mother, Meghan, has since spoken on the fatal incident, telling FOX’s ‘The Will Cain Show’ that she has no intention of forgiving the other teenager who stabbed him.
While Austin’s dad expressed compassion and claimed to forgive the killer, Meghan told said show she did not share the same sentiment before going on to say how angry she was at him.
“I am not like their dad,” she remarked. “I am so angry at that boy. It’s just not fair. That’s all I have.”

Austin Metcalf Died In His Brother’s Arms
Austin Metcalf was reportedly stabbed after getting into a confrontation with Karmelo Anthony, a student from a different high school. Metcalf had asked Anthony to leave his team’s tent, and the latter refused to do so, which led to a fight.
Anthony is said to have pulled out a knife and then stabbed Austin in the heart.
Austin’s twin brother, Hunter, was at the event. He held his sibling in his arms while his life slipped away from him.
“I pushed my hand on there [his brother’s chest], to try and make it stop and I grabbed his head and I looked in his eyes. I just saw his soul leave and it took my soul too,” he said.
Anthony, who ran away before he was arrested, has been charged with murder. He is being held at Collin County Jail on a $1 million bond.
