Anthony, additionally a 17-year-old, says that he was appearing in self-defense when he stabbed Metcalf within the chest at a monitor meet within the northeast Texas metropolis of Frisco.
In accordance with FOX4 KDFW, Kayla Hayes spoke at a public press convention the place she expressed the ache and anguish her household has been feeling because the incident.
Within the wake of this tragic incident, our household has been below assault. No matter you assume that occurred between Carmelo and the Metcalf boys, my three youthful kids, my husband and I didn’t do something to should be threatened, harassed and lied about. The lies and false accusations which have been mentioned about us, particularly over the previous week, has been overwhelming.
The lies and their implications put my household at risk, in addition to everybody in our neighborhood, everybody concerned within the investigation, from the police, the attorneys and the courts there. Our deal with and my husband’s earlier employer’s deal with has been placed on all social media platforms. My husband needed to take a depart of absence as a result of he’s afraid what could occur to our household. His psychological well being is deteriorating daily. We’ve endured dying threats. My 13-year-old daughter is afraid to sleep in her personal bed room as a result of she’s petrified of what may occur to her.
Hayes additionally addressed the vile web rumors that she and her household have used the protection fund donations to purchase an enormous new home.
And let me be clear, the claims, the claims that have been used in regards to the public donation, to purchase a house or the rest are fully false. We’ve not obtained a single dime from the GiveSendGo fundraiser. And the co-founder has acknowledged that clearly. In actuality, we have been simply notified yesterday that we might start to attract funds. And it nonetheless takes seven days to obtain these funds. As soon as the request is made.
Austin Metcalf’s father, Jeff Metcalf, was within the viewers of that press convention, and based on CBS Information, his presence was very sudden. So sudden, the truth is, that Dallas police confirmed up and requested him to depart, he did so with out disturbance.
President of the Subsequent Technology Motion Community, Minister Dominique Alexander, was additionally current and commented on Metcalf’s attendance saying:
“What we noticed…of the daddy being right here..is a disrespect to the dignity of his son,” Minister Dominique Alexander, president of NGAN, mentioned after Metcalf left the press convention.
“He is aware of that it’s inappropriate to be close to this household. However he did it,” Alexander mentioned. “Actions communicate louder than phrases.”
This case is already extraordinarily tense, and plenty of have taken the chance to check it to the Kyle Rittenhouse case. In reality, the Kenosha killer has even chimed in on the “controversy” as a result of what else is his life price apart from interjecting himself right into a scenario the place he wasn’t requested to take action…
To hell with Kyle Rittenhouse. Prayers up for Karmelo Anthony’s household. Disgrace on Jeff Metcalf for attempting to intimidate them together with his presence. If he needs to know what they have been going to say he might have watched it on-line like all the remainder of us.
