Video Evidence Shows Austin Metcalf's Black Teammate Lunged at Anthony After Stabbing

What was said

"Vincent Cooper, a coach at Frisco ISD, is now testifying how he was assigned to manage Carmelo Anthony after the stabbing and stop him from leaving the football stadium. Later, Cooper was asked to calmed down a teammate of Austin Metcalf who was angry about Austin stabbing. Austin's teammate, who was Black, wanted to attack Anthony. He stabbed my brother, the Black Memorial teammate said of Austin Metcalf."

Testimony revealed that a Black teammate of white victim Austin Metcalf immediately tried to attack Carmelo Anthony after witnessing the stabbing, calling Metcalf his brother and expressing rage. Walsh argues this contradicts narratives that the incident was racially motivated against Anthony, noting the immediate protective response from Metcalf's diverse team.
