According to police, Karmelo admitted to the crime, stating, \u201cI\u2019m not alleged, I did it,\u201d after being confronted by officers. He claimed he acted in self-defense after Austin allegedly grabbed him, which led Karmelo to pull out a knife and stab Austin once in the chest. Austin later died from the wound,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/lajmesot.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Screenshot_1142.jpg.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-59294\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>in his twin brother Hunter\u2019s arms.Austin, a student at Memorial High School, was remembered as a talented and driven individual, with his family mourning the loss of a promising young man who had aspirations to play college football.
