A shocking turn of events for Dynus Saxon, a 20-year-old New York model who walked red carpets for brands like Calvin Klein and Levi's. Saxon now faces charges of second-degree murder, first-degree manslaughter, and criminal possession of a weapon following the fatal stabbing of 35-year-old Kadeem Grant.

The Incident

The incident occurred on November 10th in a Bronx apartment. Grant was reportedly stabbed in the neck and chest while sleeping on a couch. While a motive remains unclear, reports suggest a possible love triangle may be involved, or that Saxon "just snapped." Saxon appeared in court with a bandaged hand, a detail noted by prosecutors.

The Victim

Kadeem Grant's father, Christopher, expressed his grief, describing his son as a loving father to a 3-year-old daughter. The tragedy has left a young child without a father.

Saxon's Modeling Career

The charges represent a drastic change for Saxon, whose career included appearances at the premieres of major films like "Deadpool & Wolverine" and "The Batman."
