Austin Metcalf death: Austin Metcalf death: GoFundMe launched to support to his family for funeral

The mother of 17-year-old Austin Metcalf broke down in tears, struggling to speak as she cried, “They took my son, and he’s gone.”

A GoFundMe page has been launched to support the family of Austin Metcalf, 11th grader at Frisco Memorial High School who was stabbed to death during a high school track meet in Texas on Wednesday.

The fundraising page, created by his father, Jeff Metcalf, describes the 17-year-old as a “leader of men.”

In just 24 hours, the GoFundMe page has raised $196,074.

Austin Metcalf and the suspect, identified as 17-year-old Karmelo Anthony, got into a heated argument over seating.

“My son, Austin Metcalf, was tragically st@bbed today at a school track meet. They were not able to save him,” the page reads.

“He was a bright young man with a great future ahead of him. He was a leader of men. His smile would light up the room. His passion for football was unbelievable. Voted team MVP this past season and carried a 4.0 GPA. He was looking forward to taking his game to the next level. His commitment, dedication, leadership, and sheer grit made him rise to the level of success that he desired.”

“His twin brother, Hunter, played beside him. We will all remember him for the way he impacted others’ lives. I love you forever, son. It’s not goodbye, it’s see you later. God will take care of us till we meet again. RIP. Love, Dad.”
