Did Karmelo Anthony's mother say he was ‘stabbed’ in prison? Fact checking viral video

A viral rumor has circulated online stating that Maverick Trevillian, known as the '67 Kid', has passed away. This false claim originated on TikTok but quickly spread to other social media platforms such as X. In a TikTok video, someone claimed that the 'management team' announced the news of Trevillian's death. However, these unsubstantiated claims have gained significant traction, with the X post alone amassing over a million views.

This alarming rumor has caused concern among many, as Trevillian rose to internet fame in March 2025 after a video showed him yelling "67" during a basketball game. His unique catchphrase, "the 67 Kid," has since become part of internet slang. People expressed worry about the '67 Kid' or Maverick Trevillian, with posts about his supposed death flooding social media.

However, after thorough fact-checking, it has been confirmed that Maverick Trevillian, or the '67 Kid', is alive and well. No credible news outlets, obituaries, or official statements confirm his death. Websites like Famous Birthdays, which were updated yesterday, still list him as alive at the age of 15 in Maryland. His Instagram account and related accounts also show continuous activity, with no announcement of his passing.
