Karmelo Anthony Case Update: Lack of Mainstream Coverage, Journalist Doxxed and Threatened While Reporting on Case and Allegedly Fraudulent Activist Group
In the ongoing Karmelo Anthony case, updates continue to surface, despite a notable lack of coverage from mainstream media outlets. We continue to provide the latest information on this developing story.
Karmelo Anthony is reportedly under house arrest as part of his release conditions. Although initially at a family home, he has since moved to a more secure location, believed to be a rented home costing $3,500 a month. When visited by Daily Mail, vehicles including a white Suburban, a black Acura, and a third sedan were seen parked at the property. A new vehicle reportedly had a paper license plate expiring June 4th. This apparent display of a lavish lifestyle appears in stark contrast to the claims of cash struggles made in court by Anthony’s father. Amazon packages have also been observed being delivered to the family’s home in Richwood’s exclusive neighborhood.
Reporting on this case has reportedly led to serious threats against journalist Sarah Fields. Sarah Fields claims she has received all sorts of threats for revealing information about the individual behind the Next Generation Action Network. According to Sarah Fields, the threats began after she shared the official arrest report for Karmelo Anthony. She obtained the document through an open records request to Frisco PD and posted it online, where it went viral with millions of views. She received threats, was called a racist and a bigot simply for sharing the official document. Sarah Fields states that Dominique Alexander, who leads the Next Generation Action Network, targeted her specifically in a press conference, holding up her social media posts. She believes Alexander is afraid of her reporting.
Sarah Fields has investigated Dominique Alexander and his organization, the Next Generation Action Network, which some sources suggest is fraudulent. Sources provided her with links and avenues to follow for this investigation. Allegations about Dominique Alexander’s past are deeply concerning. He is reportedly known for a violent past with activism, getting into multiple physical fights and being very aggressive on purpose. He is also known for harassing people and going to the homes of elected officials to taunt them. Most disturbingly, there are allegations from his past of domestic abuse. He is also alleged to have injured a 2-year-old child, permanently damaging the child, and then lying about how it happened.
Regarding the Next Generation Action Network itself, serious concerns have been raised about its legitimacy. An analysis reportedly suggests the organization appears to be engaged in “501c hopping,” which means dissolving and restarting the organization or jumping between different 501c statuses when pressured. Furthermore, it is alleged that the organization has not filed anything through the IRS in 5 years, despite 501c organizations being required to file taxes annually. This lack of filings fuels suspicion that the organization may take money and disappear.
Since Dominique Alexander specifically named and targeted Sarah Fields, the threats against her have reportedly escalated significantly. She has received death threats. Her address has been shared multiple times, she has been doxxed. People have targeted her family and children, sharing photos of her children publicly and even discussing figuring out where her older son attends school. Her address, church’s address, and photos of her home and church have also been shared publicly online. These malicious actions are reportedly linked to her reporting on the case. The threats are claimed to be coming from BLM and Antifa.
Due to the severity of the threats, Sarah Fields has reportedly had to take significant security precautions. She has gone on lockdown and has had a security team come to watch her home. For safety, she has limited her movements to required meetings and church. Her church is also reportedly aware of the situation and has assigned a safety team to escort her and her family to and from their vehicle and watch them while they are in church. Despite these threats, she reportedly has no thought of backing down.
This situation highlights the risks journalists face when reporting on sensitive cases. The lack of mainstream media attention on the Karmelo Anthony case and the serious threats against those who are covering it, particularly concerning the individuals involved, are significant developments. We will continue to cover this story.
