Karmelo Anthony will be allowed to graduate from high school while out on bail for the murder of 17-year-old Austin Metcalf in Texas on April 2.
Anthony fatally stabbed 17-year-old Metcalf in the heart at a track meet in Frisco. He died in the arms of his twin brother.
The Daily Mail reports that the Frisco Independent School District has decided that Anthony, also 17, can graduate from Centennial High School, according to the killer’s spokesman, Dominque Alexander.
The district had originally expelled Anthony over his murder charges.
“They were literally trying to expel him— period,” Alexander said. Being expelled would have meant the killer would not graduate.
Though he will be allowed to graduate, Anthony will not be able to attend the real graduation or walk across the stage with his class.
“We are in arrangements of doing an early gradation,” Alexander confirmed. “They have agreed to allow him to graduate.”
The track meet confrontation began when Metcalf asked Anthony to move from under the Memorial High School team’s tent since he did not attend the school. The incident culminated in Anthony pulling a knife from his backpack and stabbing the honor roll student in the chest.
The Anthony family has since raised over $525,000 on GiveSendGo, purchased a new Cadillac, and moved into a $900,000 home.
Anthony has admitted to the stabbing and is charged with first-degree murder. He was released from custody and placed on house arrest after his bond was lowered to $250,000.
Frisco ISD has declined to comment on the graduation decision.
