Defenders of the 17-year-old student athlete accused of murdering a rival at a Texas track have launched an online fundraiser in his name.

Karmelo Anthony (no relation to retired NBA star Carmelo Anthony) remains in the Collin County Jail, where he's being held on a $1 million bond following the stabbing death of 17-year-old Austin Metcalf.

While seeking to reduce the cost of Anthony's bond, defense attorney Deric Walpole told reporters this week that his client is claiming self defense in the tragedy.
