The incident not only sent shockwaves through the community and nation, it also sparked a flood of speculation.
As we know right now,Austin Metcalfand Karmelo Anthony did not know each other, he continued.
The disinformation that is going online is hurting this case, and it has to stop.
They cant leave their home, Alexander said.
Theyve received racist messages, including images of Black children with knives stuck in their heads.
An arrest report later revealed that the fatal altercation began over something trivial: a chair.
Words were exchanged, and tensions escalated.
Metcalf touched him, daring Anthony to punch him and attempting to forcibly remove him from the tent.
Its not alleged, I did it.
But I need to talk to people, develop facts, and understand what really happened.
He was a bright young man with a great future ahead of him.
He was a leader of men.
His smile would light up the room.
His passion for football was unbelievable, Jeff wrote.
I love you forever, son.
Its not goodbye, its see you later.
God will take care of us till we meet again.
However, it has since beentaken downfor unknown reasons.
Netizens were quick to dismiss the conspiracy theory, arguing that nothing justifies the stabbing
Thanks!
