Train attack video reignites fury over withheld footage of Austin Metcalf killing

Nearly five months after Frisco, Texas track star Austin Metcalf was stabbed to death at a high school competition, members of the public are continuing to pressure local authorities to release video of the attack. 

In a post on X on Wednesday, Elon Musk implored authorities to “release the video,” as the topic began trending online following this week’s stabbing death of Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska on a commuter train in Charlotte, North Carolina. The attack on Zarutska was captured on surveillance video, which was released after the stabbing.

The Frisco Independent School District previously confirmed to Fox News Digital that it possesses surveillance video of the stabbing at Kuykendall Stadium but will not be publicly releasing the video.

Police arrested Anthony afterward, with his supporters insisting he acted in self-defense after Metcalf pushed him out of the tent. 

Anthony’s bond was initially set at $1 million, but was subsequently reduced to $250,000. He was released to home confinement and his trial was set for June 1, 2026. 

The Frisco Independent School District and Anthony’s attorney did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.
