The 'Victim' Saga of Karmelo Anthony Gets Better As Details Emerge About the 'Minister' Backing Him

Earlier this month, I reported the story of 17-year-old Austin Metcalf. Metcalf, a star standout football player in Texas, was attending a track meet that involved several area high schools competing. When 17-year-old Karmelo Anthony, a student from another school, came to sit in the area reserved for Metcalf's school, Metcalf told him he was sitting in the wrong place. Anthony reached into a bag he was carrying and threatened Metcalf. Metcalf then pushed him to get him to leave. That was when Anthony pulled a knife out of the bag and fatally stabbed Metcalf. But now, as the story is being spun to portray Anthony as the victim, new information is coming out about one of his most ardent backers.

That supporter is Dominique Alexander. He is a self-proclaimed "minister" and activist. But for a supposed man of the cloth, he has a pretty sketchy and violent past that may throw a wrench into the "Anthony as the victim" narrative. The first incident involving Alexander took place in 2009 when he was arrested for causing serious bodily injury to a two-year-old child. He admitted to shaking the child but claimed the injuries were accidental. For that offense, he faced first-degree felony charges, but through a series of plea deals and probation, he did not serve any jail time.

In 2016, he was sentenced to five years for probation violations but served just eight days. Then, in 2017, Alexander was indicted on felony theft charges concerning a 2016 business dispute. Those charges were enhanced because of a previous conviction for forgery. But Alexander wasn't done yet. In 2019, he was indicted for felony family violence after his longtime girlfriend, Keyaira Saunders, accused him of shoving her around their home and attempting to strangle her. Saunders later dropped the charges.

But when the race industry grifters smell an opportunity, you had better get out of the way. Almost immediately after the story came out, it took a sadly predictable turn. Supporters of Karmelo Anthony emerged, insisting that he was the true victim and there was even a wild story about how Austin Metcalf had bullied Anthony, who then acted in self-defense. 

Also maybe more than a bit predictable in a post-Black Lives Matter culture are not only the pictures of Karmelo Anthony in a suit and tie, putting a clean-cut face on the "victim" narrative, but also what the Anthony family did with the roughly $400,000 that has been raised on a GiveSendGo fundraiser page, presumably for "legal fees." My colleague Bonchie reported that those fees were, in fact, not used for legal fees, but instead, the family has moved into a $900,000 home in a gated community. The next logical question has to be, does the good "Pastor" Alexander smell a big payday as the donations mount up?

On Monday, Anthony's bond was reduced from $1 million to $250,000, and he is at home with an ankle monitor. Dominique Alexander put out a tweet saying, "Karmelo Anthony is SAFE at home." Austin Metcalf's twin brother said he died in his arms, and added, "I looked in his eyes. I just saw his soul leave, and it took my soul, too."

As Bonchie rightly said, donations from the social justice warriors will no doubt keep pouring in, making shady race hustlers like Dominique Alexander very happy.
