TX - Austin Metcalf - 17 - fatally stabbed at track meet, 2 April 2025

[mickey2942]

I've been busy in RL this week, haven't had time to read - seems like it's quieted down? Insofar as the mouthpieces, I mean.

Yes. Perhaps, they realize that it is better to leave this with less said. I think that the attorney probably wants to work on negotiations. Best for the Defense if they try to keep this local, and minimize it to a school incident.

Not that it is. But the more they keep it at a local level, it would be best for the Defense.

I think it’s way past a school incident when someone dies.

Negotiations?

Like @Knox, I've been distracted from this thread too.
Which atty, pls?

I'm assuming the OP meant the defense attorney for KA.
Not to be confused with the social activist guy calling himself a minister, causing people to presume that means he's a pastor (and he most certainly is not), nor is he an attorney.

@Ontario Mom Thx for your response.

Aside from whatever court filings and/or court appearance(s?), has KA's attorney made any public stmt which has been covered in MSM?

Anyone?

Yes, his defense attorney made this statement after the bond hearing was lowered & he was released

The social activist guy said after (?) the news conference he was meeting with police officials about a number of things. I don’t recall hearing much from his attorney, it sounds like maybe his attorney knows how to act in these situations.

 

[al66pine]

@Ontario Mom
Thx again for link w KA's atty Mike Howard answering reporters' questions.
At 5:10 one asks about KA's family - how unsafe does the family feel?
He answers - I'm not going to speak for them at this point. Then goes on a bit further.

Seems like a very appropriate answer, first because it's true. He is rep'ing KA, not KA's family. Second maintaining his representation of KA in court as entirely separate from the emotionally incendiary issues in MSM and soc media is smart too, imo. Those issues ignited immediately after AM's death, will likely continue to some degree until trial and to flare up during trial. imo.

And during the 6 min vid, the atty mentioned the Metcalf family a couple times.

The truth about the 'threats' against teen 'killer' Karmelo Anthony

DailyMail.com has exclusively learned that at least one of the supposed 'threats' against Karmelo Anthony involved water guns.

www.dailymail.co.uk

"At least one of the threats of violence that prompted alleged teen murderer Karmelo Anthony and his family to flee their gated community home was carried out by kids with water guns ...."

"Police records obtained by the Daily Mail show that Anthony's father called 911 last week, when Anthony was still staying there, after teenagers drove by with toy guns...."
"Anthony also told police that the 'play guns' were never pointed at them...."


Somehow... this morphed into a valid threat, causing the Anthony's to flee ?
Make it make sense.
Imo.
Omo.

The social activist guy said after (?) the news conference he was meeting with police officials about a number of things. I don’t recall hearing much from his attorney, it sounds like maybe his attorney knows how to act in these situations.

Specifically he stated they were going after the school district for expelling KA and for not calling off the track meet due to weather. Indicating they were responsible for the murder because of their inaction.

Delusion at it’s finest folks, who in their right mind would buy that line of carp? I guess those who view KA as a victim?

“Inopportune things happen all the time,” Thakur said. “But the murder of a child is still the murder of a child. We need to distance ourselves from both sides using this to stir up emotion and instead focus on how we can be better in the aftermath of such a horrible tragedy.”

Thakur, meanwhile, says Frisco is too vibrant and together to be torn apart by this tragedy. He says many of the most divisive comments are coming from people outside the city — individuals trying to stoke division by framing the incident through a racial lens.

Smith: Frisco teen killing has become a race debate

Ronell Smith: The tragic stabbing in Frisco has brought that community to a boiling point. I recognize the pattern.

Cash Basis Accounting? Accrual Basis Accounting? Or Cookie Jar Basis of Accounting?

I Google searched "81-2565213" and "NGAN 81-2565213."
Let me note, this is not accusing D. Alexander (spokesman for K.A.'s parents), other officers, or board members of NGAN of any financial wrongdoing or may have caused these IRS filings to be submitted 2 yrs late, for 2017 & 2020. After all, not like an individual might delay filing a fed return because he wants to wait until he scrapes up the $$$ to pay the tax owed.
IDK what caused them to be delinquent. But late filings may be a red flag w any other financial irregularities.

From very quickly skimming the forms, no specific numbers jumped out for me.
(except the 2017 form showed a $1200 website expense, but page 1, line "i" space for website was left blank. Funny, that).

A website ( Instrumentl.com) using IRS digitized data gives this info for NGAN
"Based on most recent IRS 990 filing (2020)"
"990 Forms as PDFs" "2020, 2017"

Prompts me to wonder if NGAN filed returns for any other years, like 2018, 2019, 2021, 2022, 2023.

ETA
At a certain point, IRS revokes the fed tax exemption status of a 501(c)(3).
People making contributions to such an org. could not claim those contrib's on a fed return w itemized deductions.

For the curious, tedious details below.
__________________________________________________________________

On behalf of NGAN, Dominique Alexander (KA's Parents' spokesperson) signed the 990-EZ "Return of Organization Exempt from Income Tax" a required "information return" document w IRS , for 2017 year which the IRS stamped postmarked & scanned in April 2020.
D. Alexander signed in April 2020, as did the preparer at BryteBridge Consulting.

"Full text of "Reasonable cause explanation" for fiscal year ending Dec. 2020"​

"Name:
NEXT GENERATION ACTION NETWORK FOUNDATION
EIN: 81-2565213....
"Explanation:
The organization was unaware of the filing requirements and due date, as well as the need to keep adequate books and records on an ongoing basis, and thus have resolved to undertake the Form 990 each year within 90 days after the end of the fiscal year. In addition, each quarter our board will review the IRS website and Exempt Organizations update to ensure that no changes have occurred in regard to our annual compliance requirements." bbm

NGAN 990-EZ forms for 2020 which IRS elec.-marked "Submission: 2022-04-12."
The signature block included0 the 4-04-2022 date
- title and name President Dominique Alexander, but no signature,
- name of paid preparer, both the inividual firm (BryteBridge Consulting), but no signature.
On some electronically signed doc's (like some I've used on real estate transactions), the software creates a script-like signature, but IDK if that happens w IRS 501(c)(3) returns. Lack of handwritten siggies may be standard on these.

At tail end, same "Reasonable Cause Explanation." Presumably for late filing?
Could be a semi-feasible explanation first time around? But if there is some continuity in an org's board members, officers, employees from year to year, well, recycling this as excuse seems feeble.

Jeff Metcalf has resigned from his real estate firm, citing hostility from co-workers. It's the New York Post, so it's one of those FWIW sources.

Exclusive | Austin Metcalf’s dad reveals he was ‘disrespected’ after being thrown out of Karmelo Anthony press conference, hoped to pray with accused killer’s family

Jeff Metcalf said he just wanted to “represent my side” when he showed up at a press event by the kin of his son’s alleged killer.

New car? Employment Terms?
Reading some older stories, April 16 from Daily Mail. bbm below.

"When DailyMail.com visited the home Tuesday, a white Suburban, a black Acura and a third sedan were parked in the driveway.
"One resident told DailyMail.com the family just purchased a new vehicle.
" 'He got a new car. If you look at the license plate, it's got a paper tag and it says it expires June 4...'"


Personally not commenting one way or another about their finances, but I understand it's common for some auto dealership employees to be provided w autos for personal use at no or low charge.

The neighbor quoted may or may not have have known. And IDK if this is true for Mr. Anthony.

Another point about some terms of employment, especially in some sales positions or quasi-sales positions which may or may not apply to Mr. Anthony: There may be monthly, quarterly, or yearly employee bonuses, based upon the business profits. An employee stating their salary is $ X may or may not be including bonuses. I don't recall hearing or reading the exact words Mr. Anthony used.

I think we should keep an eye on any updates to the NP filing, surely money is going to begin rolling in due to DA's association with this case.

I thought the article said that he resigned because he feared for the safety of his colleagues and clients. I wasn't able to read the full article, though, due to paywall.

"He also resigned from his real estate job Saturday, fearing for his colleague’s and clients’ safety, he said."

@Knox Thx for your response. Sorry for the looong post which rambled.*

NGAN's most recent 990-EZ forms filed w the IRS, AFAIK is for yr ending Dec. 31, 2020.

My searches may have been spotty, so no Money-Back Guarantees. LOL.
And I would welcome others here w better google-fu to search too.

____________________________________
*A summary of my post #552 today:
A couple points on the returns I eyeballed:
---- for 2017 and 2020, both were filed two yrs late.
---- both had notations ("Reasonable Cause Explanation." Presumably for late filing?) saying - the organiztn did not know that they needed to file w IRS and records had to be kept (yeah, sure) and that the bd/dir would do a quarterly review to make sure they were in compliance, etc.
---- the website expense was reported, but the form's line for website name was blank.
Again my post did not accuse DA or anyone else of financial shenanigins, but IIUC TOS here allow us to give ppl the side-eye.

 

[al66pine]

Trying to clarify my post #403 from 04/19/25.

NOT clear to me, if ProPublica reporter meant NGAN's "final return" referred to a "final return"
--- as if the 501(c)(3) NGAN org., was shutting down, no longer in existence/doing business
0R
--- like the 501(c)(3) NGAN org. had filed an amended 990-EZ to its intially filed 990-EZ.

Seems either interp is possible. IDK which of the 2^ applies. Or a third alternative? IDK.
