17 year old stabbed to death by another 17 year old at Frisco track meet
BabaYaga replied to Derka's topic in Daily Texan
Two recent rumors that should be easy to confirm with cooperation from the HS that I want answers to: was he skipping school to be at the meet? Second - did he in fact, as the rumor-mill from HS kids is saying, get in trouble for bringing a knife to school recently? -

Lots of new stuff since you ran. Like tents. And cars..... -

Which I am. My kid has friends that knew the victim, were at the vigil at Hope Fellowship, and go to his school. I was just at the stadium weeks prior for soccer playoffs. Frisco doesn't have stadiums at the HS's, so everyone has spend quite a bit of time at this middle school stadium. There is also a new report that the attacker wasn't supposed to be at the meet. He was apparently skipping school. He also (allegedly) got into trouble earlier in the year for bringing a knife to school. Take this for what it is, an early report. -

Nobody said it was a universal experience - you inferred that and ran with it. -

I've seen it briefly, almost always to grab a phone and share something with another kid. More with girls than boys. Just hanging to hang, almost never, but that by itself isn't gospel, just never seen it at the dozens of meets I've been to. Why would you - you have your own tent and your own teammates to be with, why camp at another's tent and then become enraged when asked to leave? Makes no sense. -

There are reported to be multiple GoFundMe accounts, all operating as legitimate - which they clearly are not. Lot's a third-party grift trying to take advantage of an awful situation. -

Yes and no. Friends of friends do spent time together, but there has to be a reason. The majority of the time kids are spending time together on the football field/infield, not at the tent. They want to watch the events. If they come back to the tent, and they do, it's essentially an invited situation. What you don't see are random kids just parked under another teams tent. That's a huge red flag, especially against the backdrop of property theft concerns. Then for the kid who was told to leave to refuse, and escalate with threats of "make me" goes form confrontational to inciteful pretty quick. -

No, my experiences are with Frisco meets, covering an event that happened at a Frisco meet. At a stadium that I have been to dozens and dozens of times. -

Nobody "knows" the intent of the attacker but the attacker, but that is why the victim was watching the tent and why it escalated so quickly. During events you'll have the majority of the other kids on the football field, inside the track lanes cheering on their classmates. This leaves the tents exposed, and again, with concerns about theft, you have the coach have a kid camped out just in case. -

Bull. Kids that know each other is usual. Kids that are friends, dating, etc. is very usual. A complete stranger camped out under your tent is cause for alarm. When I say no "adults", I'm talking about parents, not event staff and coaches - to clarify not being near the tents. XC is different. That also isn't held at a stadium. As for kuykendall stadium, where I've been to dozens of meets and games, as Frisco HS's don't have their own stadiums.....is a recessed field, fenced off from the bleachers. There is no direct access to the field except through the outside fence. There is a walkway near the field to get up into the bleachers that also will have tents or at either endzone. This is why the coaches wanted kids to watch everyone's stuff as again, there had been concerns about theft at these meets. -

That's the angle? Really? This wasn't some back alley or gas station parking lot. The victim was told by his coaches to watch their tent. You see another kid in the tent you are told to watch and he's going to tell that kid to leave. That's what he was told to do as is very common at these meets. It was a clear act of provocation by the attacker who could have just walked away. He's a track athlete, not some out of town kid that doesn't know the landscape and how things are done. His initial acts were confrontational and his words touch me and see what happens are confrontational. It wasn't raining. It wasn't his tent. He chose to bring the knife. Your brain is broken. -

Stop. Those are eyewitness accounts from HS kids. Teenage boys and girls. The only adult statements are from other coaches at the event. There are no adults anywhere near the tents. They are not allowed to be near the tents. Hence the concerns of theft, as the coaches have to be near the races to coordinate and collect kids between events. -

The bullying angle just isn't there. It doesn't add up. Again, coaches told their kids about concerns of theft at these meets, so they "park" kids to watch everyone's stuff between meets. This is pretty standard. This is why the victim was at the tent. Every school competing has a tent with the name/colors of the school to coordinate the athletes and keep their stuff together. Many have mats for kids to rest on, foam role, etc There are often coolers with drinks/snacks, etc. It's home base. There are often not coaches in the tent as they are running around coordinating events and athletes, getting them lined up, etc. so you need someone back to watch everyone's stuff. Another kid in your tent is as unusual as a football player lined up on the opposite side's bench. It just isn't done. So you have a kid warned about theft, and you see a kid camped out under your tent, your first thought if of course theft. So yeah, you are going to bark about clearing out. That's also how Anthony got so close to the victim. The whole "make me" line. He either got in his face or touch the bag that Anthony already had his knife in hand hidden in. There was no warning. No brandishing of the knife as you would expect and we've all seen a thousands times on social media - holding the knife out as a warning. This was an immediate and fatal stab. No warning. -

There are more than 30 eyewitnesses and a half dozen coaches all corroborating the same chain of events I posted earlier. People will engage in low-hanging race baiting as they will, but the sequence of actions seems pretty clear at this point.
