Hunter Metcalf choked back his tears as he explained the heartbreaking moment he desperately tried to stop the blood from gushing from the heart of his twin brother Austin, who was stabbed to death at a high school track meet.

On April 2, about 10 a.m., Hunter was with his twin brother Austin, a star athlete who was competing in discus throw and shot-put events at a track meet, held at the David Kuykendall Stadium in Frisco, Texas.

“We did everything together. You name anything in the world, it’s always us two. We were always basically one person,” Hunter said of him and Austin, the football MVP for the team the two played.

Hunter, born four minutes after Austin, explained that him and his twin – both juniors at Memorial High School outside Dallas – were in the school’s tent when a student from another school decided to enter.

“This kid was sitting under out tent at track, we asked him to move. He started getting aggressive and talking reckless and my brother stepped in and said, ‘you need to move,’” Hunter told ABC affiliate WFAA in a heartbreaking interview. “And he’s like, ‘Make me move.’

‘I tried to help him’
According to a witness, the other student – identified as Anthony Karmel from Centennial High School – told Austin, “touch me and see what happens.” Then he allegedly reached into his backpack and pulled out a black knife and stabbed the twin once in the chest before running away.

“I tried to whip around as fast as I could. I didn’t see the stab…but then I looked at my brother… and I’m not going to talk about the rest. I tried to help him,” a teary-eyed Hunter said, adding that tried to save his brother’s life by stopping the blood.

“I tried to help him.”

He held his twin until first responders arrived and attempted resuscitation.

“They yanked me off him,” Hunter said, who added he wasn’t allowed to ride in the ambulance with his brother.

The twin’s dad, Jeff Metcalf, took Hunter to the hospital.

‘Died in brothers arms’
“They were twins, identical twins, and his brother was holding on to him, trying to make it stop bleeding, and he died in his brother’s arms,” Metcalf told NBC of his son, who he described on a GoFundMe campaign as “a bright young man” whose “smile would light up the room.”

Metcalf continued, “I rushed up there and I saw him on the gurney, and I could tell – they said he wasn’t breathing. I could see all the blood, and I saw where the wound was, and I was very concerned, so I had to find his brother, and we rushed to the hospital…”

Despite lifesaving measures by emergency personnel, Austin died of his injuries.

‘Big brother’
“I saw him for his last moments…he knew how much I loved him…I [would] do for him anything, no matter what. I always told him I want to be just like him I always looked up to him. He was a big brother even though we’re the same age.”

“I don’t know why someone would do that to someone just over that little argument,” Hunter said of the tragic incident. “He was a strong man. He was strong, strong kid…I’m strong too but he’s a little stronger. He [was] just always there for me so it’s really heartbreaking to see how this happened.”

‘Stud’
Hunter also shared how he’ll miss his “big brother” on the field next season when football starts.

“He was a stud, and I always try to fill those shoes and play with him. I had a blast playing sports with him my whole life…me and him always against people. Our last year together was this year. It’s really heartbreaking to not see him next year on the field,” he said of Austin, a star linebacker. “He was a great guy overall it’s just really hard to see someone go like that…for like recklessness”

Speaking of Karmelo, Hunter said “I’ve never met this kid in my entire life” until the “30 second” “altercation,” that ended in the death of his brother.

‘I did it’
ABC reports that after Karmelo tossed the weapon into the bleachers and was taken out of the stadium, he told police, “I’m not alleged, I did it.”

The affidavit reveals that Karmelo also reportedly asked police if Metcalf was going to be okay while he was in the back of the squad car. He also claimed it was self defense.

The 17-year-old of Frisco, Texas, “is charged with murder, a 1st Degree Felony.” The bond has been set to $1,000,000.

Rest in peace, Austin. Please share your condolences for the teen’s loved ones in the comments section below and then share this story so others can do the same.
