The family spokesperson of Karmelo Anthony, who is accused of the fatal stabbing of high school track star Austin Metcalf in Frisco, Texas, criticized Metcalf’s father once again on Monday.
Dominique Alexander from Next Generation Action Network (NGAN) had previously organized a chaotic press conference on April 17, where police had to escort Jeff Metcalf, Austin’s father, out.
During the recent news conference, Alexander directed his anger towards Jeff Metcalf, labeling him as “disrespectful” and stating that his presence was “a dishonor to the memory of his son.”
In Monday night’s video, Alexander doubled down on those attacks and said his organization never called the police on Metcalf. They were there before Metcalf arrived, he said.

“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.
“Nobody in the public media has one video, but we got the video of Kyle Rittenhouse with an AK-47 shooting three people in the back,” he said. “We got that, and he raised more than $2 million publicly, and nobody said anything about that.”
Jeff Metcalf and the Dallas Police Department declined to comment.
Jett Metcalf previously told Fox News, “This person made a bad choice and affected both his family and my family forever.”
He said Austin, who died in his twin brother’s arms, “was the light of my life.”
“People ask me, how can you forgive this other person? I said I forgive the other person because the forgiveness is not for him,” he said. “The forgiveness is for me so I can have peace. His life is destroyed. My life is destroyed.”
