Model charged in stabbing death in the Bronx

NEW YORK — A model who has appeared in campaigns for Calvin Klein and Levi’s has been formally charged in the stabbing death of a man in New York City, prosecutors said Saturday.

Dynus Saxon was arraigned in Bronx criminal court late Friday in connection with the Nov. 10 killing of Kadeem Grant, according to Bronx District Attorney Darcel Clark's office.

Police say they found the 35-year-old victim stabbed in the chest in an apartment in the New York City borough of the Bronx.

They haven't disclosed a motive or any other details surrounding the incident other than to say that Grant was pronounced dead at the scene and that a knife was recovered.

Saxon was arrested Monday on charges of murder, manslaughter and criminal possession of a weapon.

At his arraignment Friday, the 20-year-old resident of Manhattan’s East Harlem neighborhood was held without bail until his next court date on Dec. 3, Clark's office said.

Saxon, who has also appeared in fashion publications such as Vogue Italia and L’Officiel Baltic, didn't speak during the proceedings, the Daily News reported.

Prosecutors said he had a large bandage over his right hand because of an injury he sustained while repeatedly jamming the knife into Grant’s chest, the newspaper said.

Bronx Defenders, a public defender nonprofit representing Saxon, didn't immediately respond to an email seeking comment Saturday.

Saxon’s Instagram profile, which has since been made private, featured photos of his modelling work, as well as attending red carpet events, including the New York premiere of the Marvel film “Deadpool & Wolverine" this summer.
