Dynus Saxon—a 20-year-old model that has posed for Vogue Italia, Calvin Klein and Levi’s—has been charged in the fatal stabbing of 35-year-old Kadeem Grant in the Bronx.
According to Fox News, Saxon is now facing charges of second-degree murder, first-degree manslaughter, and criminal possession of a weapon.
On Sunday (Nov. 10), NYPD officers responded to a 911 call reporting a stabbing inside a Bronx apartment building lobby. When police arrived, they found Grant with a stab wound to the chest and the presumed murder weapon. Grant, a resident of the building, was pronounced dead at the scene.
At this time, further details about the weapon have not been released and a reason for what may have led to the altercation has not been determined. Saxon was arrested the next day (Nov. 11).
In his defense, Saxon’s mother came forward telling the New York Daily News, “Dynus didn’t just decide to murder somebody. He does not know what happened,” she said, suggesting that her son’s recollection of the events leading up to Grant’s death is hazy.
The victim’s father also spoke to the outlet, saying, “[Grant] was just a loving kid that was there for his family and daughter. It is just so sad that she has to grow up without a father. He cared for people—looking after his grandma because most of us are not there [in New York]. Kadeem was a kid. You need him? and he was there for you.”
The NYPD has confirmed that the investigation remains active, with detectives continuing to gather details on the case.
