Karmelo Anthony’s family knows exactly what they are going to do with the more than $500,000 in donations that have been given.
The money has ballooned as a result of an alleged murd3r that occurred at a track meet in Frisco, Texas, on April 2. The victim was 17-year-old Austin Metcalf of Memorial High School, who died in a deadly st@bbing.
The suspect, 17-year-old Karmelo of Centennial High School, was just released from jail on bond after lawyers reduced his bail from $1 million.
More than $514,000 has been donated to the “Help Karmelo Anthony Official Fund” on the crowd-sourcing site GiveSendGo.com.
None of the bail money came from the donations.
GiveSendGo co-founder Jacob Wells provided an update on how the Anthony family plans to use this money.
He has made it clear that the vast majority of the funds will be used to cover Karmelo’s legal fees and provide security for the family.
“They’ve been very clear that the vast bulk of this money is going to be used for Karmelo’s legal defense,” Wells told Fox News Digital.
“They’ve indicated that some of it will be used to provide them some security, some much-needed security. And then also, a secure location for them to live. They were renting before, and they’re continuing to rent. So it’s like, okay, $3,000 a month for the next year, year and a half.”
Karmelo Anthony’s defense attorney, Mike Howard, made it abundantly clear that the teen suspect and his family could move to a gated community due to safety concerns.
“Given that Karmelo has no prior criminal history and given that this young man has not been in any sort of trouble before, $1 million is not necessary,” Howard said via Fox4.
“This family needs to be able to survive. There’s been a tremendous amount of pressure. I think at this point, living in a gated community, given everything, the safety of their younger children is very warranted. Security details and criminal defense are not cheap.”
Karmelo Anthony’s Parents Speak Out About D3ath Threats & Misinformation

Earlier this month, Kala Hayes, the mother of Karmelo Anthony, finally had to speak up for her family.
Since being arrested and released, there has been a ton of misinformation spread throughout social media that has subjected the family to even more attacks.
“In the wake of this tragic incident, our family has been under attack. Whatever you think happened between Karmelo and the Metcalf boy — my three other children, my husband, and I — didn’t do anything to deserve to be threatened, harassed, and lied about,” Hays said.
Among the things she said, Kala Hayes revealed: “My 13-year-old daughter is afraid to sleep in her own bedroom because she’s fearful of what might happen to her.”
“The lies and false accusations that have been said about us have been overwhelming, and the lies put our family in danger,” Hays added.

LSU Tigers star Angel Resse has been making a lot of headlines after her match against the Iowa Hawkeyes. Reese has a unique fashion for her matches, she wears leggings on only one of her legs and she recently revealed the secret of doing so.
Reese lost her recent game against the Iowa Hawkeyes which left the fans wondering if she would continue with LSU or declare for the WNBA draft. Those questions have also been answered by Reese in her recent collaboration with Vogue.
Why does Angel Reese wear one legging attire?
Angel Reese wears only one legging as a part of her one-court attire and the fans have grown curious about it. Many people speculated that it was part of a superstition that Reese followed, however, that is not the case. The LSU star has herself revealed the reason for the unique dressing choice and it may surprise a lot of people.
“I had surgery two years back on my shin. I have a rod in my leg… I cover the scar on one, and then the two players that I admire, Te’a Cooper and A’ja Wilson, also wear it, too. So it is swag. But I have used it to cover my scar,” said Angel Reese. She revealed that she had surgery on her leg and had a scar on it. She wears the leggings to hide that scar and at the same time as a swag fashion accessory.
Angel Reese declares for WNBA draft with Vogue photoshoot
After the Tigers failed to stand up against Caitlin Clark and the Hawkeyes the fans were left wondering if the LSU star Angel Reese would declare for the upcoming NBA draft. Reese has answered those questions with a beautiful photoshoot in collaboration with Vogue. Reese did a photo shoot with the brand and announced that she would be declaring for the WNBA draft.
Reese expressed her thoughts about the decision on her official X (formerly Twitter) account. “Making my announcement with VOGUE was ICONIC. In the new world that I am stepping into, just believe in me, trust in me, and give me time to learn and grow!” said Reese in the post. She thanked her supporters for their support and love and also asked them to trust her in her new journey.
