Prosecutors announced that a Calvin Klein Levis model was charged with the stabbing murder of an individual in New York.
According to the Bronx District Attorney Darcel Clark, Dynus Saxon was charged at Bronx Criminal Court on Friday night in connection with Kadeem Grant’s murder that occurred on November 10,
The police found a 35-year-old male with stab wounds to his chest in an apartment located in the New York City Borough of Bronx.
Grant died at the scene. Police have not revealed any details about the incident or the motive. However, they did confirm that a knife had been recovered. According to The New York Post, a knife was found near the body of the victim. A bloody trail was visible on the stairs.
Saxon was arrested on Monday and charged with murder, criminal gun possession, and manslaughter.
Clark’s Office reports that the 20-year-old resident of Manhattan’s East Harlem was not released on bail at his Friday arraignment. He will have to return for a court appearance on December 3.
The Daily News reported that Saxon did not speak at the hearing. His work has appeared in magazines such as Vogue Italia and L’Officiel Baltic.
The newspaper reported that the prosecutors said that Grant had a large bandage on his right hand due to an injury he sustained from repeatedly slamming Grant’s chest.
Christopher Grant Grant’s father told The Daily News that Grant cared for both his daughter and grandmother.
“He was just a loving kid who was there for his family and his daughter. It’s just so sad that she has to grow up without a father,” Christopher Grant told the Daily News.
Bronx Defenders is a non-profit public defender that represents Saxon. An email sent on Saturday seeking a response was not answered immediately.
Saxon had made his Instagram private before, but it featured pictures of him at red-carpet events, and he also modeled. He attended the New York premiere of Deadpool & Wolverine this summer.
