Morgan Freeman’s granddaughter was stabbed to death Sunday morning in New York.

New York police found Freeman’s granddaughter by marriage, 33-year-old E’dena Hines, lying in the street outside her apartment in Washington Heights with some 16 stab wounds to her body, police said. She was taken to Harlem Hospital, where she was pronounced dead.

“The world will never know her artistry and talent, and how much she had to offer,” Freeman said in a statement. “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.”

Authorities found a 30-year-old male suspect, whom police described as her boyfriend, standing over her body and shouting out Bible versus, police told Newsday. He was taken into custody and transported by ambulance to Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center for a psychological evaluation. . .

I believe he is married to his step granddaughter who he raised with his wife. Not the one who died.

Sad. But if you live in a sewer. Don’t be surprised when you get bitten by a rat.

“I believe he is married to his step granddaughter who he raised with his wife. Not the one who died.”

That story appears to be an Internet rumor that just won’t die.

Well, it's spelled correctly. Just not in this context.

I thought he married his second cousin...like there were no other women around...very weird. Apparently it runs in the family.

Morgan Freeman, one of Obama’s left wing guys, is partly responsible for allowing the left to jack up the black community into a murderous and hateful state of mind.

Add this to rap thug gang music and culture, and you have the chances go up that your young black family members will be ravished by the spirit of hate and murder.

Police brutality is a fact and has to stop. Since they won’t stop it themselves and politicians won’t stop it, the people will have to raise stink about it without making themselves into mindless evil led by Soros and the NOI. Police brutality happens to Blacks and Whites.
