The spokesperson for Karmelo Anthony’s family went on another racial tirade following the 18-year-old’s indictment on Tuesday for the alleged stabbing of Frisco, Texas track star Austin Metcalf.
Following the indictment, Dominique Alexander, the founder and president of the Next Generation Action Network (NGAN), used a platform to mention that the legal process would continue towards trial.
“I cannot disclose sensitive details or speak publicly about this case involving multiple minors. This is why I have consistently avoided letting it be judged in the court of public opinion,” he stated.

“Because these racist bigots try to prevent us from standing up for our baby, our boy, he should be afforded the same rights that Kyle Rittenhouse had, Daniel Penny and all the people who have claimed whatever their defense was – he should be afforded the same right,” Alexander said later in the press conference.Â

The arrest report from the April incident said Anthony “grabbed his bag, opened it and reached inside it” and told Metcalf, “Touch me and see what happens.”
In the next moment, a witness told police that Anthony “reached into his bag and the male took a knife out of the bag and stabbed Austin.”
One officer at the scene referred to Anthony as the alleged suspect, and Anthony made a “spontaneous statement,” according to the report: “I’m not alleged, I did it.”
