Morgan Freeman is one of the few in Hollywood who doesn’t broadcast his family issues to the entire world, unlike the Kardashians. With that being said, on Sunday morning his family made a tragic announcement.
According to New York police reports, Morgan Freeman’s step-granddaughter was stabbed to death on a Manhattan sidewalk.
At about 3 a.m, responding officers found E’Dena Hines, 33, lying in the street outside her home, with her ex-boyfriend standing over her lifeless body as he reportedly screamed incoherently.
From the New York Post:
Hines was taken to Harlem Hospital, where she was pronounced dead.
The grieving Freeman released a statement:
“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. Her star will continue to shine bright in our hearts, thoughts and prayers. May she rest in peace.”
A 30-year-old man was taken into custody at the scene then transported to Columbia Presbyterian Hospital for a psychiatric evaluation, officials said.
