Security is being increased Monday morning as the District 11-5A track meet resumes, days after it was postponed following the fatal stabbing of a 17-year-old Frisco high school student.
The meet, originally scheduled in Frisco, has been relocated to Little Elm. It was suspended Thursday after Austin Metcalf, who attended Memorial High School in Frisco ISD, was killed during an altercation.
The 17-year-old suspect arrested in connection with the stabbing remains in jail on a $1 million bond. Under Texas law, 17-year-olds are considered adults and are automatically tried in adult courts.
Attorney Russell Wilson, who is not involved in the case, told KRLD's media partner NBC 5 that defense attorneys may seek to have the charge reduced, depending on the circumstances.
Frisco police are continuing their investigation.
