Austin Metcalf<\/a>‘s dad says the effects of that fatal day are still being felt throughout his family … particularly by Austin’s twin brother, Hunter.<\/p>\n

Jeff Metcalf<\/a>\u00a0opened up about the lasting trauma Hunter has endured during a recent appearance on the “JinxedSip” podcast. Watch the clip — Jeff shares an emotional glimpse into what his surviving son has been dealing with since witnessing Austin’s death, without holding anything back.<\/p>\n

Rather than focusing on the trial or the verdict, Jeff’s comments center on the human toll left behind … describing the challenges Hunter has faced and the difficult conversations they’ve had as a family while trying to move forward.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Jeff also explains why he believes the tragedy reached far beyond the Metcalf household … affecting classmates, friends and other students who witnessed the violence unfold that day.<\/p>\n

As TMZ previously reported, Karmelo Anthony<\/a> was convicted earlier this week of murdering Austin during an altercation at a Frisco, Texas track meet and was sentenced to 35 years<\/a> in prison.<\/p>\n

Jeff’s podcast appearance has already generated headlines for Jeff’s criticism of school officials<\/a> and Anthony’s family … but this part of the conversation focuses on something far more personal — the lasting trauma left behind after Austin’s death.<\/p>\n

Austin’s killer got a sentence … Jeff says his family got a lifetime of grief.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Play video content Austin Metcalf‘s dad says the effects of that fatal day are still being felt throughout…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":335672,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[132,134,133,223,154,12691,33804],"class_list":["post-335671","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-austin","tag-austin","tag-austin-headlines","tag-austin-news","tag-news","tag-sports","tag-sports-news","tag-tmz-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/335671","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=335671"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/335671\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/335672"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=335671"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=335671"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=335671"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
