In the midst of an ongoing investigation into the tragic stabbing of high school student Austin Metcalf at a track meet in Frisco, Texas, the school district has announced that it has captured the incident on surveillance video.

The Frisco Independent School District confirmed to Fox News Digital that it has surveillance footage from the April 2 event at Kuykendall Stadium but stated that the video will not be released to the public.

The deadly confrontation involved 17-year-old Metcalf from Memorial High School and reportedly another 17-year-old, Karmelo Anthony, who is a student at Frisco Centennial High School. The incident occurred during a rain delay on April 2 at the district’s track and field championship.

Anthony is facing first-degree murder charges.

The witness told police that Anthony then “reached into his bag and the male took a knife out of the bag and stabbed Austin,” per the report. The witness then told the officer that Anthony left the scene after the stabbing. Metcalf, 17, died in his twin brother’s arms.

Anthony was arrested at the scene and has since been charged with first-degree murder. He and his supporters say he acted in self-defense and that Metcalf pushed him out of the tent.

His bond has since dropped from $1 million to $250,000. His bond conditions include house arrest and an ankle monitor, and he will only be able to leave his home with the judge’s permission.
