Austin Metcalf reportedly got into a confrontation with 17-year-old Karmelo Anthony at Kuykendall Stadium, according to local authorities.
Jeff Metcalf told NBC5 his son was stabbed in the heart by the other student after telling him he was in the wrong seat on the bus.
The dad paid further tribute to his son writing on Facebook, “This tragedy has shaken me, family and friends to the core. I trust God will bring us through the tuff times ahead. I appreciate everyone who has reached out. He passed away in his brother’s arms. He wasn’t alone at least. I can’t describe the range of emotions I am feeling. I pray God will guide our paths moving forward.”
The grieving father says he is choosing to forgive while putting his faith in God to get through this.
“I have already forgiven him…already. God takes care of things. God takes care of me. God’s going to take care of my family,” he told the outlet. “That’s for my peace….not his.”
