Model Dynus Saxon is facing serious legal trouble.
The 20-year-old, who had modeled for Vogue Italia as well as appeared in campaigns for Calvin Klein and Levi's, faces charges of murder in the second degree, manslaughter in the first degree and criminal possession of a weapon in the fourth degree in connection with the death of Kadeem Grant, 35, police say.
On Nov. 10, authorities responded to a 911 call about a male stabbed inside an apartment building in the Bronx, where they found the victim with a stab wound to the chest. Emergency medical workers pronounced Grant, a resident of the address, dead on the scene, a New York Police Department spokesperson told E! News in a statement.
Saxon, who does not have a rep or lawyer listed, was arrested Nov. 11, while a knife was recovered at the scene, the spokesperson added, and the investigation remains ongoing.
Following the incident, the model’s mother spoke out in defense of her son. "Dynus didn’t just decide to murder somebody," she told the New York Daily News in comments published Nov. 12, adding that he did not remember the incident. "He does not know what happened."
Grant leaves behind a young daughter, according to multiple outlets.
His loved ones are remembering him for his caring nature. "He was just a loving kid who was there for his family and his daughter," Grant's dad, Christopher Grant, told the New York Daily News. "It’s just so sad that she has to grow up without a father."
He added, "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."
