Law enforcement officials are looking to speak with the older brother of New York Giants cornerback Janoris Jenkins after a dead body was found inside the football playerâs New Jersey home Tuesday.
According to TMZ Sports, Jenkinsâ brother William is a âperson of interest.â Ontario County, N.Y., District Attorney James Ritts told the sports site that William is not a suspect but they would like to talk to him âin relation to [the] dead body case at his brotherâs house.â
The man found deceased inside Jenkinsâ home has been identified as 25-year-old Roosevelt Rene. TMZ Sports reports that William Jenkins was arrested in upstate New York for an unrelated parole warrant issue some hours before police found Reneâs body inside Jenkinsâ Fair Lawn, N.J., home.
According to the New York Post, Reneâs death is being treated as a homicide, and officials noted that the death appears âhighly suspicious.â
Jenkins was in Florida when Reneâs body was found in the basement of his home. The Post reports that Rene was a music producer who used the moniker Trypps Beatz and was staying at Jenkinsâ six-bedroom home. The NFL Network reported that police are investigating Reneâs death as a possible strangulation/suffocation incident.
