Karmelo Anthony’s family is taking heat online for allegedly blowing through over half a million dollars in donations and asking for another $1.4 million.
The teenager has been charged with first-degree 𝘮𝘶𝘳𝘥𝘦𝘳 for the 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘣𝘣𝘪𝘯𝘨 of Austin Metcalf earlier this year, and his family had raised over $500,000 via GiveSendGo.
Despite receiving said amount, they recently requested a public defender, an obvious suggestion that they aren’t able to afford one for trial.
Of course, this hasn’t gone down well, at least not on social media.
“This is the first time I’ve felt bad for Karmelo. Yes, he 𝘮𝘶𝘳𝘥𝘦𝘳ed a kid.But his family raised money off of evil public sentiment ostensibly to provide for an excellent legal defense, then kept it all for themselves. Truly an evil family,” one user wrote.
“The family knows he’s guilty and he’s going away so they’re just trying to grab as much money out of it as they possibly can,” said a second.
“They pulled an easy scam 😂. Now they have brand new house and a brand new car,” another claimed.

The Anthonys are asking for the $1.4 million so they can seek safe relocation following d3ath threats, as well as for legal expenses, security equipment, counseling, legal counsel, and a team of investigators.
Karmelo Anthony’s mother, Kaya Hayes, had previously denied using the donations on a new house and car. It’s also said that the family is not one of little means and has always lived in a posh, gated community.
Meanwhile, a date for the 𝘮𝘶𝘳𝘥𝘦𝘳 trial has not been set. Karmelo remains under house arrest.
