The tragic death of 17-year-old Austin Metcalf has left the Frisco, Texas community heartbroken. Austin, a beloved student-athlete and football standout at Memorial High School, was fatally stabbed during a track meet after a confrontation with another student escalated. His identical twin brother, Hunter, witnessed the horrific incident and held Austin in his arms as he died — a moment he described as seeing
his brother’s “soul leave.” Their devastated mother, Meghan Metcalf, spoke out through tears, urging parents to hug their children tighter and questioning how a moment of anger could lead to such irreversible loss. Austin, who had a bright future ahead and was already being scouted by colleges, is remembered for his talent, leadership, and the deep bond he shared with his twin.
