Morgan Freeman's step-granddaughter was stabbed to death on a Manhattan sidewalk early on Sunday morning.
When police arrived at the scene they found E'Dena Hines, 33, unresponsive with stab wounds to her torso outside a building in the Washington Heights area of New York City just before 3:00 a.m.
Her ex-boyfriend was standing over her body screaming and the knife was recovered at the scene, reports The New York Post. Police arrested the man and took him to Columbia Presbyterian Hospital for psychiatric evaluation.
Hines is the granddaughter of Freeman's first wife Jeanette Adair Bradshaw. She is sometimes referred as Freeman's goddaughter in addition to his step-granddaughter.
E'Dena Hines was pronounced dead at Harlem Hospital shortly after the stabbing.
Police have not yet said if the man is facing any charges nor do they know what made him ‘snap.’
Morgan Freeman reflected on Hines' talent and said she would be deeply missed by those who knew and loved her.
'The world will never know her artistry in talent, and how much she had to offer,' he said in a statement to People Magazine.
