Thursday, November 14, 2024 - A Vogue model has been arrested for the alleged murder of a New York father who was left with a knife lodged in his chest.
Dynus Saxon, 20, has been charged with murder, manslaughter,
and weapon possession in connection to the death of 35-year-old Kadeem Grant.
The father to a three-year-old was found dead on Sunday
afternoon in an apartment complex in the Bronx.
According to the Daily News, he was found with a
knife 'lodged in his chest' and cuts on his hands and feet.
The victim's father, Christopher Grant, said Kadeem Grant
lived in Brooklyn and was visiting a friend.
'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 Daily News.
A neighbor told the outlet that they had overheard a
struggle in the hallway, she said: 'I heard them fighting. No words, just
[banging] in the hallway. It was fast. It wasn't like they was fighting for a
long time.'
She then said she called 911 but 'it wasn't enough to save
him'. Grant died in hospital at around 3pm.
Saxon was hospitalized after his arrest on Monday. His
mother told Daily News that she didn't recognize the victim's name or know
anything about him.
She added: 'I don't know what happened, but I can tell y'all based on what I do know that it's not going to be as simple as you want to make it. Dynus didn't just decide to murder somebody.'
His mother was Saxon's call from hospital and, according to
her, he doesn't remember what happened.
'Dynus will protect himself, he's a human being, you know
what I'm saying. He's young. I don't know what kind of situation he had got
himself into,' she told Daily News.
He'll dance, he'll have fun under some circumstances. But,
you know, he's really not an aggressor,' she added.
'Whatever happened it was not murder. He hasn't even done
work in like three, six months... He walks around the street. He walks
everywhere. He puts his headphones on and skateboards.'
Saxon has appeared in Vogue Italia as well as ad campaigns
for Levi's, Calvin Klein and JD Sports. He also appeared on the red carpet for
the premiere of Deadpool & Wolverine and The Batman.
