Police have arrested Vogue model Dynus Saxon on murder charges in relation to the stabbing death of a man in New York City.
Dynus was charged with second-degree murder, first-degree manslaughter and criminal possession of a weapon in connection with the demise of 35-year-old Kadeem Grant, according to TMZ. Police said Grant was stabbed Sunday afternoon in the Bronx in a fatal incident and was found with a knife embedded in his chest, according to TMZ.
Police said they were called to an apartment building in the Bronx and arrived to find Grant prone on the couch, according to TMZ. There was a knife embedded in his chest and evidence of cuts to his feed and hands, according to law enforcement. Police said Grant was transported to nearby Lincoln Hospital for medical care. In spite of their best efforts, Grant succumbed to his injuries and died shortly afterwards. Initial reports indicated that Grant was a father, but no further information about his family has been publicly shared.
Dynus’ modeling credits included appearances in Vogue Italia and L’Officiel and wearing clothes for Calvin Klein and Levi’s, as well as several appearances at movie premieres for “Deadpool & Wolverine” and “The Batman.” He had a modest following on social media, and was repped by One Management.
