US EditionMale Model Arrested in NYC After Husband Found Stabbed to Death
HARLEM, NEW YORK CITY, AUG 4 – Donald Zieben-Hood faces charges after an escalating pattern of domestic violence ended with his husband's fatal stabbing, despite nine prior domestic incident reports, prosecutors said.
- On Friday, August 1, 2025, in Harlem, fitness model Donald Zieben-Hood, 40, called 911 after discovering his husband, Jacob Zieben-Hood, 34-year-old personal trainer, dead in their apartment, leading to his arrest.
- In November, prosecutors say Donald Zieben-Hood violated a November order of protection by having contact with Jacob, demonstrating an escalating pattern of violence in defiance of court orders.
- According to prosecutors, Jacob died from multiple stab wounds to his legs, including one that severed an artery, with the autopsy to determine if it was homicide.
