Activist Connected To Karmelo Anthony Has Lengthy Criminal History, Including Domestic Abuse Allegations

An activist connected to Karmelo Anthony, a 17-year-old man accused of stabbing a teenager to death in Texas, reportedly has a long criminal history of his own.

Activist Dominique Alexander is the president and CEO of Next Generation Action Network (NGAN), according to the organization’s website. He has made multiple public posts in support of Anthony in recent days. Authorities charged the teen with first degree murder in the fatal stabbing of Austin Metcalf, 17, CBS News reported. The teenager was released from jail Monday after his bond was reduced from $1,000,000 to $250,000. (RELATED: ROOKE: Legacy Media Ignores High School Tragedy Because It Exposes Dark Left-Wing Secret)

Alexander posted Tuesday that NGAN provided a security detail for the accused.

What many didn’t see was the view from our Director of Security’s smart glasses, capturing the moment our NGAN security team escorted Karmelo Anthony from the Collin County Jail to the vehicle. This wasn’t a hired detail—this was family.

NGAN has also posted on Anthony’s case, adding a link to a GiveSendGo in at least two.

Alexander, however, has a history of criminal accusations. The activist was arrested in 2019 on a felony charge of family violence after his partner accused him of trying to strangle her, KXAS-TV reported, citing court documents. His partner later signed an affidavit just prior to a grand jury indictment saying that she “wanted no further part of this prosecution” on account of how the police handled the case.

The charges were later dropped in 2021, The Dallas Morning News reported.

The activist also was arrested in 2009 for causing serious head injuries to the 2-year-old child of his then-girlfriend, the Dallas Observer reported. While Alexander initially claimed the baby fell off the couch when he was babysitting, an investigator said a doctor reported that the severity of the injuries did not match up with that excuse.

“The injuries are acute and likely occurred around the time that [his girlfriend’s son] 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,” the doctor said, according to the investigator.

Alexander confessed to shaking and hitting the baby with an object, according to court records obtained by The Dallas Morning News. He pleaded guilty in 2011 and the judge sentenced him to probation. He was sentenced in 2016 to five years in prison for violating probation multiple times, but served only eight days due to the probation counting toward his sentence.

He was indicted once again in 2017 on felony theft charges that were increased due to a 2013 forgery conviction, the Dallas Express reported, citing court records. He pleaded guilty to the charge and was sentenced to two days in jail.

The NGAN calls for “a more progressive approach to policing in black and brown communities,” an end to the senatorial filibuster and a raise in the federal minimum wage, according to its website. The organization also condemns what it labels voting restrictions.
