In a horrifying escalation that has left a Texas community in utter disbelief, supporters of accused teen killer Karmelo Anthony have been accused of attempting to orchestrate the murder of Austin Metcalf’s grieving family through a series of chilling ‘swatting’ attacks. The latest assaults, including a brazen Fourth of July raid on Megan Metcalf’s home and a fifth strike on father Jeff Metcalf just days later, have police scrambling and the nation outraged. But as the Metcalf family endures this relentless terror, a former inmate turned YouTube whistleblower is sounding the alarm: These vile acts will boomerang back on Anthony in prison, where the Aryan Brotherhood of Texas is already sharpening their knives for a brutal payback.
The Daily Mail has delved deep into this explosive saga, uncovering the raw details from a viral YouTube video posted on July 5, 2025, by channel ‘jumpsuitpablo’ – a self-described ex-con who spent a decade behind bars. With over 270,000 views and 3,200 comments, the video paints a grim picture of how Anthony’s ‘army of ruthless supporters’ is digging his grave deeper, fueling a prison nightmare that could turn the 18-year-old’s life into a ‘living hell.’ As Anthony awaits his June 1, 2026, murder trial for the April 2, 2025, stabbing of 17-year-old football star Austin Metcalf at a Frisco track meet, this latest twist exposes the toxic underbelly of racial tension, online hate, and vigilante justice gone awry.
The Fatal Stabbing That Shattered Frisco
To understand the depth of this depravity, we must rewind to that fateful day at Kuykendall Stadium in Frisco, Texas. Austin Metcalf, a white high school junior and rising football phenom at Frisco Memorial High School, was simply attending a UIL-sanctioned track meet to cheer on his teammates. Described by friends as charismatic, driven, and NFL-bound, Metcalf’s life was cut short in a blink over a petty seating dispute. Karmelo Anthony, a black 17-year-old from rival Frisco Centennial High School, allegedly pulled a 6-inch kitchen knife and plunged it into Metcalf’s chest, piercing his heart. Metcalf died in the arms of his twin brother, a haunting image that has seared itself into the collective memory of the community.
Anthony fled the scene but was arrested hours later, confessing to police: “I’m not alleged, I did it.” He claimed self-defense, insisting Metcalf had “put hands on him,” but witnesses told a different story – one of provocation and aggression from Anthony, who reportedly warned, “Touch me and see what happens.” The arrest affidavit painted a damning portrait: Anthony was no stranger to trouble, with a school suspension for carrying a knife and involvement in a February 4, 2025, fight. Prosecutors indicted him on first-degree murder charges in June 2025, alleging premeditation based on stadium video evidence. His bond was reduced from $1 million to $250,000, allowing his release to house arrest – a decision that sparked protests and deepened the racial divide in Frisco.
The case exploded online, with misinformation rampant. Fake autopsies claimed Metcalf died from an overdose, not the stabbing; baseless rumors linked Anthony to NBA star Carmelo Anthony (debunked by family spokespeople). Frisco Police and the FBI launched probes into the digital chaos, warning of fake accounts impersonating officers. Yet, amid the noise, the Metcalf family’s nightmare was just beginning.
Swatting Terror: A Calculated Attempt on Innocent Lives
Swatting – the malicious act of making hoax calls to emergency services to provoke a heavy-armed police response – has become the weapon of choice for Anthony’s fanatical supporters. According to the YouTube video, which cites updates from X (formerly Twitter) user Sarah Fields – described as the “number one, most consistent, hard-hitting” reporter on the case – the attacks intensified in early July 2025. On Tuesday, July 1, Megan Metcalf, Austin’s heartbroken mother, was swatted for the second time. Then, on Independence Day, July 4, Jeff Metcalf endured his fifth such ordeal.
The video’s host, who identifies as a former prisoner with firsthand knowledge of violence, doesn’t mince words: “Carmelo Anthony’s army of pieces of crap have just… attempted to have Austin’s family murdered.” He explains the peril in visceral detail: Anonymous callers, using untraceable VoIP numbers, dox the victims’ addresses and fabricate extreme scenarios – hostages, gunpoint threats, dead bodies – to summon SWAT teams in full tactical gear. “You’re basically making an attempt on their life,” the host declares. “You’re putting them in life-threatening danger.”
And the danger is real. Police must respond, even knowing the Metcalfs’ history of harassment. As the host notes, “They can’t just stop responding… Even if in your mind, this is probably another BS call, they have to go.” The result? Armed officers banging on doors, guns drawn, ready for the worst. For an unsuspecting family – perhaps eating dinner or watching TV – the confusion can be fatal. “That initial confusion… has the potential to cause that person to seem like an uncompliant, dangerous person,” the host warns. “And police may open fire because it has happened in the past.”
Indeed, swatting has claimed lives before. The video references multiple instances where innocent people, often YouTubers or public figures, were killed in the crossfire of botched raids. In one infamous case, a Kansas man was shot dead in 2017 after a Call of Duty dispute led to a swatting call. Here, the host argues, it’s racially motivated: “They’re getting swatted because they’re white and because their son… was murdered by a black kid.” The Metcalfs “can’t even grieve in peace,” he laments, labeling it “awful.”
These July attacks aren’t isolated. Earlier reports from April 2025 confirm the pattern: Just weeks after Austin’s death, the family faced swatting calls that forced police descents on their home, endangering neighbors too. Frisco Police investigated, but perpetrators remain at large, hiding behind digital anonymity. The host calls it “big boy stuff,” not a prank like “ding-dong ditching” or “TP-ing your house.” Those caught face serious time – up to years in prison for false reporting and endangerment.
But why target the Metcalfs? The video ties it to broader harassment fueled by Anthony’s supporters. Jeff Metcalf, who publicly forgave Anthony in a tearful TV interview, was escorted from a family press conference in April for “disrupting” proceedings – simply by showing up silently. The Anthony family’s GoFundMe, raising nearly $450,000 amid claims of racism and threats, has been accused of funding luxuries like a new mansion and Cadillac Escalade. Critics, including the video host, see it as “profiting off murder.”
The Prison ‘Karma’ Backlash: Aryan Brotherhood Awaits
The video’s most chilling segment pivots to retribution: What Anthony’s supporters are doing to the Metcalfs will rebound on him in prison, amplified tenfold. As a former inmate, the host speaks from experience: “What his army has done to the Metcalf family is going to be done to him. Except when it happens to him, it’s going to make his life inside a living hell.”
Anthony, now 18, faces a potential life sentence if convicted. The host predicts he’ll be targeted by the Aryan Brotherhood of Texas (ABT), a notorious white supremacist gang with a stronghold in Texas prisons. Already “infuriated” by the interracial killing, the ABT has reportedly set their “crosshairs” on Anthony. Each new outrage – like these swattings – adds “fuel to the fire.” “Every 3 to 4 days something else happens that is just an egregious, heinous, hateful act upon the family or the victim,” the host says.
In prison, the payback will be relentless. Supporters of Metcalf can anonymously tip off guards: “He’s got a cell phone. He’s got a knife. He just stabbed his cellmate. He has drugs.” No investigation into the caller – “They’re never going to give a crap about you. They thank you for the tip.” Guards must respond, raiding cells at 3 a.m., strip-searching inmates, tearing apart belongings. “Get up, strip search, take your pants off, squat, spread your butt cheeks while I look up your butthole and cough,” the host describes graphically.
For suicide threats – “I heard he has those thoughts… He’s about to get himself out of here” – Anthony could be isolated in a “cold room with a hole carved in the cement floor for him to use the bathroom,” stripped naked to prevent self-harm. “Humiliating,” the host calls it, but “he probably deserves it.”
The chaos will isolate Anthony: “Carmelo Anthony is going to be run out of any cell block he enters into within a week.” Cellmates won’t tolerate the constant disruptions – raids that expose their own contraband (cell phones, drugs, knives). “The majority of inmates are in there with cell phones, with knives, with drugs… That’s how they do their time.” Anthony’s “bubble of ruining your good time” will make him untouchable. Even potential friends will shun him: “No one’s gonna want to touch him with a 10-foot pole.”
The host draws parallels: Bitter exes, rivals, or gang members routinely snitch to settle scores. In Anthony’s case, with millions aware of the case, the calls will be endless. “Austin Metcalf supporters are going to have a field day for years… They can do that anytime they want.” The result? No peace, constant paranoia, and vulnerability to ABT violence.
Community Outrage and Broader Implications
Frisco remains divided. Vigils for Metcalf honor his memory, with teammates dedicating seasons to him. Schools have ramped up security, but the racial rift festers. Anthony’s family, in hiding amid threats, claims victimhood, but their press conference – where Jeff Metcalf was removed – drew backlash. Activist Dominique Alexander accused critics of “race-baiting,” but Metcalf’s father countered: “This isn’t about race – it’s about right and wrong.”
Conspiracy theories abound: Media “cover-ups” after a classmate revealed Anthony’s fighting history; a “pro-Karmelo militia” forming in Dallas. The video amplifies these, urging documentation to counter “memoryholing.” Viewer comments echo the fury: “These supporters are monsters!” one wrote. “Karmelo deserves what’s coming,” another added.
As the June 2026 trial approaches, prosecutors build on indictment details, including video evidence. Anthony’s defense pushes self-defense, but witnesses contradict him. The swattings could factor in, showing motive or bias.
This saga exposes America’s dark side: Youth violence, online vigilantism, and prison brutality. The Metcalfs plead for peace: “Austin was our light… Prevent such tragedies.” Yet, as the host warns, karma is coming for Anthony. Will justice prevail, or will hate claim more victims? The Daily Mail will keep watching this unfolding horror.
