Tensions boiling over outside the courthouse as a teen's murder trial begins in North Texas.

The racially charged trial drawing crowds outside. 19-year-old Carmelo Anthony pleading not guilty to murder after fatally stabbing 17-year-old Austin Metaf in the chest at a high school track meet last year.

Prosecutors calling Anony's actions unjustified provoked murder, alleging he goated Metaf into pushing him, then killed him.

The defense argues Anthony acted in self-defense when Metcafe made physical contact first.

In the courtroom today, jurors shown surveillance video of the stabbing.

Metaf's mother wiping her eyes as jurors watched.

Reporter Maria Guerrero from our NBC Dallas station in the courtroom.

>> You can see someone pushing someone.

Then you see the figure that is identified as Carmelo Anthony moving up into the bleachers farther up before running down.

And you can see him running away then walking away before he is apprehended.

>> The prosecution says the case has nothing to do with race.

>> But the trial now sparking backlash.

The pool of 12 jurors and six alternates is made up of five women of color and 13 white men and women.

There are no black jurors.

>> Some say it raises concerns for fairness.

>> We are tired and we're saying enough is enough.

Not one black.
