Karmelo, charged with murder after fatally stabbing Austin during a school track meet on April 2, is under electronic monitoring with court-approved travel only. He claims self-defense, admitting, “I did it.” Critics say his bond is too lenient, while his defense calls it fair. Austin died in his twin brother’s arms. The community has rallied around the Metcalf family, and the case is still under investigation. Karmelo faces up to 99 years if convicted.
