Father Of Murdered HS Football Star Austin Metcalf Breaks His Silence On Why He Crashed Karmelo Anthony’s Family’s Press Conference With Shocking Request

Austin Metcalf’s father, Jeff Metcalf, has broken his silence since getting kicked out of a press conference held by Karmelo Anthony’s family last week.

Anthony is out on bail following his arrest for Austin’s murder, and his family spoke to reporters this past Thursday with claims that they plan to fight the first-degree murder charge stemming from Austin’s death earlier this month.

Karmelo’s mother, Kala Hayes, also claimed that her family has endured false accusations and lies that have put them in danger.

As for Jeff, he was escorted out after showing up to the conference and has said he feels “disrespected” because he wanted the families to pray together and present a united front. 

“They should have pulled me up [to the front] and said, ‘We are so sorry. Our condolences.’ The only thing I would have said was, ‘Okay, can we pray together and show the world we’re united’,” he told the New York Post.
