A male model, identified as Dynus Saxon, was taken into custody by the New York Police Department (NYPD) after an alleged stabbing incident that resulted in the death of a man in the Bronx over the weekend. Saxon, 20, has been charged with second-degree murder, first-degree manslaughter, and criminal possession of a weapon in the fourth degree.
The NYPD responded to a 911 call reporting a stabbing at a Mott Haven apartment building on Grand Concourse. Upon arrival, officers discovered a 35-year-old male victim, identified as Kadeem Grant, with a stab wound to the chest. Despite efforts by emergency medical services (EMS), Grant was pronounced dead at the scene. A knife was recovered by authorities at the location.
Witnesses described the aftermath of the incident as shocking, with reports of significant blood in the lobby. One resident mentioned seeing a photo of the scene, depicting a bloody individual handcuffed on the ground. Saxon, who had a presence in the modeling industry and showcased his work on Instagram, had his account deactivated following the incident. His portfolio was also removed from the agency, ONE Management, which confirmed that they no longer represent him.
The NYPD's investigation into the stabbing incident is ongoing, and Saxon remains in custody as legal proceedings continue. The tragic event has left the community in shock and serves as a reminder of the importance of public safety and conflict resolution.
