The father of Austin Metcalf, the slain teen, expressed his disappointment after being escorted out of a press conference organized by the family of his son’s alleged killer, Karmelo Anthony. Jeff Metcalf had hoped to pray with Anthony’s family as a gesture of unity but felt disrespected by the way he was treated at the event.

The press conference, held in Dallas, was attended by Karmelo Anthony’s family a few days after the 17-year-old was released from jail on house arrest. Jeff Metcalf unexpectedly showed up at the event, hoping to represent his son and address the online backlash portraying Austin as a violent bully. However, he was quickly escorted out of the building by Dallas police, leaving him feeling slighted.

Following the incident, both Jeff Metcalf and his ex-wife fell victim to “swatting” pranks, prompting Jeff to resign from his real estate job out of concern for his colleagues and clients’ safety. Despite the backlash, Jeff maintained that his intentions were not malicious and that he simply wanted to seek closure and unity through prayer with Anthony’s family.

The altercation between Austin Metcalf and Karmelo Anthony, which resulted in Austin’s fatal stabbing, has sparked a debate about self-defense and accountability. While Anthony’s parents have claimed their son acted in self-defense during the altercation, Jeff Metcalf believes that Karmelo should be held accountable for his actions.

The tension between the two families was evident at the press conference, where emotions ran high as Karmelo’s mother, Kala Hayes, addressed the false accusations and threats her family had faced. Despite the disagreements, Jeff Metcalf emphasized the need for accountability and justice for his son, while also acknowledging the pain and loss experienced by both families.

In the aftermath of the press conference, activist Dominique Alexander criticized Jeff Metcalf’s presence, calling it a disrespect to his son’s dignity. Jeff, however, dismissed the criticism, emphasizing the need for accountability and closure for both families involved in the tragic incident. Ultimately, the pursuit of justice and healing remains a priority for Jeff Metcalf as he navigates the aftermath of his son’s untimely death.
