Police responding to a 911 call at about 3 a.m. found 33-year-old Edena Hines lying on the street with multiple stab wounds to the chest.
Police officers reportedly had to physically restrain Davenport from further brutalizing Hines’ lifeless body.
She was admitted to a nearby hospital, where the aspiring actress was subsequently pronounced dead.
In a statement to Gossip Cop, The Shawshank Redemption star writes, “The world will never know her artistry in talent, and how much she had to offer”.
Hines, who studied acting at New York University, was the granddaughter of Morgan’s first wife.
“I’m still trying to come to grips with what happened”, Rosario told the website. Rosario told The Daily Beast that Davenport and Hines seemed “ecstatic” in the hours before her death.
It wasn’t immediately clear whether Davenport had a lawyer who could comment on the charge. Her star will continue to shine bright in our hearts.
He added: “I want to acknowledge the tremendous outpouring of love and support my family has received regarding the tragic and senseless passing of my granddaughter, E’Dena Hines“. May she rest in peace. A law enforcement source told the Post he had six prior arrests for drugs and petty larceny.

“I heard two screeches and I looked out my window”, neighbor George Hudacko said. “And I looked out the window and I saw something glint in his hand and it’s going up and down, and he’s still screaming, “demons be gone” and then it went quiet”, Hudazko said.
