Actor Morgan Freeman, 78, is mourning the loss of his step-granddaughter E’Dena Hines, who was stabbed to death in New York Sunday morning.
Police found Hines bleeding profusely from multiple stab wounds early Sunday. Hines, 33, was reportedly stabbed outside her apartment on the 400 block of W. 162nd Street at around 3 a.m., People.com reports.
Hines was taken to Harlem Hospital where she was pronounced dead, according to the NYPD.
The NYPD took a 30-year-old man into custody and transported him to a local hospital for evaluation.
In a statement to People.com, Freeman remembered the granddaughter of his first wife as a talented artist who touched the lives of others.
“The world will never know her artistry in talent, and how much she had to offer. Her friends and family were fortunate enough to have known what she meant as a person,” Freeman said in a statement to People.com. “Her star will continue to shine bright in our hearts, thoughts and prayers. May she rest in peace.”
Freeman and Hines were rumored to be romantically involved. Freeman denied those rumors.
So horrible to hear. Hopefully, whoever committed this act will be brought to justice. I don’t wish this on anyone.. ? R.I.P.
Edit your comment, hun.
Lol
Thanks! ?
Very tragic. Hey Sandy. Hope you are having a good weekend
Wow so sad… Violence every where… I need a small island to live on….
May she rest in peace and I hope they find who did it. All this violence is overwhelming. Gotta leave the house with a 6 pack of mace and a switchblade. And that’s just for the crooks and creeps. Not even factoring in the crazy cops out here
God rest her soul ?.
R.I.P……………….
Thanks. You too, hun.
Apparently, Hines was murdered by her boyfriend, a religious psychopath.
A Witness saw Hines lying in the middle of the street, with her boyfriend kneeling over her, shouting, “Get out devils! I cast you out Devils in the name of Jesus Christ! I cast you out!”
This so sad. So many people around and her screams couldn’t save her. Ugh sad.
He performed an exorcism. He is clearly psychotic. That’s why police took him to the psych ward instead of jail. Instead of telling him to seek psychiatric help, his family probably told him to seek Jesus.
This is awful. I would like to hear more about Morgan Freeman asking her to marry him. Were they dating?
Just like they should have taken Christian Taylor to jail instead of murdering him in cold blood like that rookie Ichy Trigerfinger.
So vandalizing vehicles and a building gets the death penalty but someone who just murdered another person–stabbed to death no less which means he had a knife on his person is arrested without anyone getting hurt…hmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Maybe the difference is training?
This sounds like a ritual killing, why are the cops withholding the name of the man they arrested?
There are 3 possibilities here:
1. Hines’ boyfriend took a mind-altering drug.
2. He is severely mentally ill.
3. A combination of both.
If he’s insane enough to think he can stab the demons out of someone, Hines had to know he was dangerous.
Clearly, I don’t have all the facts and I am not trying to blame Hines for her own murder, but there has to be a lesson tucked away in this horrific tragedy.
Update:
The rapper boyfriend of Morgan Freeman’s step-granddaughter has been arrested after she was stabbed to death on a Manhattan sidewalk in an apparent cocaine-fuelled exorcism.
Lamar Davenport, 30, allegedly killed E’Dena Hines, 33, near her New York home in Washington Heights on Sunday morning.
George Hudacko, 65, who saw the 3am attack from his window and called 911 said Davenport was stabbing her and screaming: ‘Get out, devils. In the name of Jesus Christ, I cast you out’.
Davenport, an aspiring actor with a history of drug abuse and a criminal record, was said to be reciting bible verses before being dragged from her body, which had 16 stab wounds.
People are saying Edina and her thug @$$, wannabe rapper boyfriend were hardcore drug addicts.
IDK WHERE I FOUND OUT ABOUT THE IG INDUSTRYONBLAST BUT I WAS READING THIS LAST NIGHT…SOON AS THEY MENTIONED MEMPHIS I KNEW SHE WAS THE ONE HE WAS LINKED TO. ALSO THE COMMENTS WERE ALONG THE LINES OF “SO HE HAD HER….?”
My prayers to her… So sad…
You’re becoming more and more unhinged if that is possible.
I guess it’s true what they say about mixed people–they are mixed up. LOL
Every morning just about I hear or read a story about a Black woman being victimized.
Tf?
I personally wouldn’t follow the logic of the commenters being that Morgan is well established in the industry and has been at least 4 decades.
Make room, we can farm the land & sea together !!
His ex wife probably knows about this smh
LMAO! Unhinged? Did I say something that is unreasonable or farfetched?
Yes we can….
AGREED…HOWEVER THERE WAS A LOT OF NEWS SURROUNDING THAT INCIDENT HERE LOCALLY FROM PEOPLE “IN THE KNOW” ALLEGEDLY…THAT’S THE ONLY REASON I BIT.
Deepest sympathies to the family.
Spot on…..The mental state of her boyfriend could have been because of mind control. ……you can’t trust anything these day’s. ….
Somebody find out what color the dude is.
RIH! I hope he is NOT linked to this in no way
The girl’s body isn’t even cold but you’re crucifying her character.
You’re a sad, negative person and it’s no wonder that you’re divorced.
…
Come thru with that backstory!!
People don’t wanna get involved.
Google Susan “Kitty” Genovese
Wtf does being “mixed” have to do with this?
If she was a drug addict, whose boyfriend was also a substance abuser, via her personal choices, she “crucified” her own character.
I was merely looking for whatever lessons that could be learned from this story.
FYI: I’m gay, never been married, and currently seeing someone; not that any of that makes a difference.
This is so sad.
RIP
Ha,ha, ha!!!!
You said your ex was a cop, but wow.
You are a sad,sad case.
A gay man whose a cop bootlicking facist.
Good luck in your next life.
Sorry, this person just rubs me the wrong way.
Just full of hate and enjoys watching others suffer then trashing them after they die.
My father is a retired police detective and I have sister on the force, too. However, I don’t understand what that has to do with Edina’s seemingly poor choices, which probably resulted in her death.
Sorry. I’m not touchy feely when it comes to people who make dumb decisions.
A few days ago, I watched an episode of 48 Hours where a young woman was murdered by her boyfriend.
When her family members described her as someone who liked to skydive and swim with sharks, I said to myself, “Okay. She had a history of making bad choices. Let’s see how her inability to self-protect contributed to her demise.”
DID YOU GIVE ME A REASON TO YELL?
I don’t think you have a heart at all.
If I didn’t have a heart, my blood wouldn’t course through my veins. ?
My sympathy is reserved for causes that deserve it.
I’m praying for the family and so sorry to hear this horrible horrific act. So beautiful and so young may her soul RIP. The lesson is you can’t change anyone if they already sick.
