William Jenkins, the brother of New York Giants cornerback Janoris Jenkins, has been charged with aggravated manslaughter after a body was found at the player's house in Fair Lawn, New Jersey.
The body was identified as Roosevelt Rene, 25, a Jenkins family friend who had been living at the house, according to the Bergen County Prosecutor's Office.
The office announced that William Jenkins was in custody, adding that the investigation is ongoing, and the defendant is presumed innocent. Sources told ESPN's Josina Anderson that Jenkins was taken into custody in Geneva, New York, and was initially held in Ontario County, pending extradition to New Jersey.
