Black activist who worked with Cori Bush is now spokesperson for track star's admitted murderer

This story’s a doozy: a 17-year-old kid, Karmelo Anthony, is accused of stabbing Frisco, Texas, track star Austin Metcalf to death. Now, the family’s mouthpiece, Minister Dominique Alexander, is stirring up a storm, and this guy’s got a rap sheet longer than a CVS receipt and ties to defund-the-police darling Cori Bush. Buckle up.

Alexander, a Dallas-based activist who’s all about slashing police budgets, is front and center for the Next Generation Action Network (NGAN), rallying hard for Anthony and his family. NGAN’s out here posting on X like it’s their full-time job: “The Next Generation Action Network is currently working with the Anthony family to get the bond processed and will keep the community updated regarding his release,” they said after Anthony’s bond dropped from a cool $1 million to $250,000. “We want to sincerely thank everyone for the overwhelming support you have shown. This is just the beginning of a long legal journey, and we will continue to stand strong in defense of Karmelo’s rights.” Sounds like they’re ready to fight this one to the end.

But things got spicy at a Thursday press conference when Alexander went off on Metcalf’s dad, calling him a “disrespect to the dignity of his son” for crashing the event uninvited. “That was disrespectful and just shows you all the character,” Alexander fumed. “He was not invited. He knows that it’s inappropriate to be near this family, but he did it. So, I say to people, actions speak louder than words.” Bold move, slamming a grieving father. That clip blew up online, and the internet sleuths didn’t waste time digging into Alexander’s past. Spoiler: it’s not pretty.

Fox News Digital and others have laid it bare—Alexander’s been in and out of trouble for years. We’re talking a felony family violence charge in 2019, where his longtime partner, Keyaira Saunders, told cops he shoved and tried to strangle her, per NBC 5 DFW. She later dropped the charges and called out the Dallas police, but the stink of that lingered. Then there’s a 2021 guilty plea for felony theft, landing him two days in jail, according to Dallas Express. Alexander played the victim on Facebook: “After four years of this hanging over my head, I decided to avoid a jury trial in a Trump County that wouldn’t have given me a fair shot at all.” Oh, and in 2016, he did two years for violating probation, Fox 10 Phoenix reported.

But the real gut-punch? A 2009 Dallas Observer report says Alexander was arrested for allegedly causing serious head injuries to his then-girlfriend’s two-year-old son while babysitting. He claimed the kid fell off a couch, but the doc wasn’t buying it: “The severity of his injuries is not consistent with rolling off the couch,” the investigating officer quoted the doctor. “The injuries are acute and likely occurred around the time that [the child] started to have symptoms (like being unresponsive.) Without more adequate history of trauma, complainant’s injuries are more consistent with abusive head trauma and child physical abuse.” Alexander reportedly admitted to shaking the kid, got slapped with a first-degree felony, and then racked up more charges for forging a check, leading cops on a high-speed chase, and stealing a car. This guy’s a walking rap sheet.

On top of that, Alexander’s been cozy with former Squad Rep. Cori Bush, the defund-the-police poster child who got the boot in her 2024 Democratic primary. His X and Facebook are a love letter to Bush’s 2020 and 2022 campaigns. Bush herself gushed about Alexander and NGAN in 2020, praising their “perseverance & dedication” and saying their “[commitment] to the work” is “unmatched.” She even tweeted in 2019: “Thanks to Minister [Dominique Alexander] & @NextGenAction for your tireless work & bravery.” 

In 2021, Alexander was over the moon, posting a pic with Bush as she was sworn into Congress, clutching NGAN’s Shirley Chisholm Award. “Last year, I had the honor of seeing history in the making by seeing this beautiful black queen [Cori Bush] elected to Congress,” he wrote. “I am so proud of her as an actual frontline protester. We saw her yesterday sacrifice for millions facing eviction in America, our Movement Congresswoman.”

NGAN kept the Bush train rolling, posting in 2023 about standing with her and “over 300 organizations nationwide to demand reparations in America.” When Bush lost her primary, NGAN cried foul, blaming AIPAC and demanding Citizens United be “overturned.” And when Bush faced heat, NGAN had her back: “Thank you for your service to our community and our country. The attacks that you are currently experiencing is baseless. In the people support, making sure you are okay and safe to serve,” they posted in 2024. “We live in a country that does not want to address white supremacy.” Subtle.

Alexander’s also all-in on defunding the police. In 2022, he posted on X: “We can defund Education; We can defund social services; we can defund Recreation centers & libraries. ‘WE CAN DEFUND THE POLICE.’ End of story - Fund Our Communities.” During the 2020 George Floyd protests, NGAN demanded $100 million be cut from the Dallas Police Department’s budget: “After 75 days of protest, the
@DallasCityMgr is increasing the [Dallas Police Department] budget. We will Defund Dallas Police Department we want a 100,000,000 from Dallas Police.”

And if that’s not enough, Alexander’s got a soft spot for Nation of Islam’s Louis Farrakhan, despite the guy’s track record of antisemitic rants, like calling Jews “termites.” Alexander clapped back at CNN’s Jake Tapper on X: “Please get it correct the Honorable Minister@LouisFarrakhan is the name please put some respect on his name.” 

He even wished Farrakhan a “Happy 83rd Birthday” with a prayer for blessings. Yikes.

Let's not kid ourselves, G_d never blessed that Jew-hating piece of human excrement.

So here we are: a teen accused of murder, a grieving family, and an activist with a shady past and a megaphone, tied to a defund-the-police icon and cheering for a controversial figure. The truth doesn’t get much uglier than this, and the internet’s got receipts. Stay sharp, folks—this one’s far from over.
