William Jenkins, the brother of the New York Giants cornerback, Janoris Jenkins, was charged with manslaughter after a body was found in the player's home in Fair Lawn, New Jersey.
The body was identified as Roosevelt Rene, 25, a friend of the Jenkins family who lived at home, according to the Bergen County Attorney's Office.
The office announced that William Jenkins was in custody, adding that the investigation was ongoing and that the defendant was presumed innocent. Sources told ESPN that Jenkins was in Geneva (New York) in violation of the parole and that he had first been detained in Ontario County, pending his extradition to New Jersey.
Janoris Jenkins was not home when the body was discovered and has been in Florida since the completion of the minicamp of the giants two weeks ago, sources said. Jenkins has been advised by lawyers to stay in Florida, sources said.
The giants said that they "are aware and watch the situation".
Information from Josina Anderson and Jordan Raanan from ESPN has been used in this report.
