Karmelo Anthony, left, who is accused of murder in the stabbing death of Austin Metcalf, right, has been moved to a new location because his defense team complained of dangerous threats and harassment. (@DefiantLs \/ X screen shot)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Karmelo Anthony, the teenager charged in the fatal stabbing of Austin Metcalf, will be tried as an adult<\/a> in Texas.<\/p>\n

The incident took place last month during a championship track meet at Kuykendall Stadium in Frisco, Texas.<\/p>\n

According to police, Anthony stabbed Metcalf\u00a0following a dispute about where he was sitting.<\/p>\n

MURDER: Karmelo Anthony has finally been charged with first-degree murder for killing Austin Metcalf. We won\u2019t know until June whether the grand jury will let Anthony walk or make him stand trial. In the meantime he\u2019s at his Frisco mansion enjoying the good life. pic.twitter.com\/B0NO0dlu90<\/a><\/p>\n

The case is being handled by the Collin County District Attorney\u2019s Office, just north of Dallas.<\/p>\n

Anthony has been charged with first-degree murder and will face trial as an adult. This is because Texas allows minors aged 16 or 17 to be tried as adults for certain crimes.<\/p>\n

If convicted, Anthony could face life in prison with the possibility of parole after 40 years. However, he will not be eligible for the death penalty.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Supreme Court has said not only can you not seek the death penalty against someone who committed a crime when they\u2019re 17, you can\u2019t even get them life without parole,\u201d said Collin County District Attorney Greg Willis.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat would not be something we could do even if we wanted to,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n

Anthony\u2019s bond was originally set at $1 million, but a judge later reduced it to $250,000. He is currently under house arrest at his parents\u2019 home.<\/p>\n

His family have since raised<\/a> over $525,000 on GiveSendGo, purchased a new Cadillac, and moved into a $900,000 home.<\/p>\n

Despite his heinous crime, it recently emerged that Anthony was allowed to graduate high school.<\/p>\n

The victim\u2019s father, Jeff Metcalf, said of<\/a> an online effort to give Austin an honorary diploma would not bring his son back.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a nice gesture, but in the long run, my son doesn\u2019t get a diploma,\u201d he explained. \u201cSo, there\u2019s part of me that says maybe Mr. Anthony shouldn\u2019t get one either.\u201d<\/p>\n
