Students and staff at Memorial High School in Frisco are mourning the loss of a student athlete who was stabbed to death at a track meet.
The victim’s father said his son died in the arms of his twin brother. Hunter Metcalf described his twin brother Austin's final moments as he died in his arms. "I put my hand on there. I grabbed his hand and looked in his eyes. I just saw his soul leave and it took mine too," Hunter Metcalf told FOX News.
Austin’s family believes the fight started in the stands over a seating issue.
"They were sitting there, and someone was behind them mouthing off and they turned around and said, ‘Who are you?’ And he said, ‘I’m Melo.’ And they said, ‘Well, you don’t belong here. You don’t go to Memorial.’ He had a Centennial tracksuit on. They said, ‘Well, you need to leave. This ain’t your spot,’" Jeff Metcalf said. "And some words were discussed that I’m not gonna say on camera but he asked him to leave and he basically said, ‘Make me.’ And then he wound up stabbing him in the heart and killing him all over someone sitting in the wrong spot at a track meet."
