India, June 10 -- Contributions for Karmelo Anthony are still coming in, exceeding $627,000 online shortly after a Texas jury found the teenager guilty of first-degree murder on Tuesday, as per NY Post.

Several donors have supported a fundraiser following Anthony's conviction on Tuesday afternoon.

The initiative, which aims to raise $1.39 million, continues to attract funds as the contentious trial highlighted racial issues - leading to protests against systemic racism by Anthony's supporters after the verdict.

Anthony, who is of African descent, received a 35-year prison sentence on Monday for the fatal stabbing of 17-year-old Austin Metcalf, who is Caucasian, during a track meet in Frisco on April 2, 2025.
