Now, eyewitness statements point to Hines, the current boyfriend, as her killer, the report added. A 65-year-old man who apparently saw the murder taking place had called 911 claimed to have seen a man stabbing Hines while screaming something that sounded like, "Get out devils! I cast you out Devils in the name of Jesus Christ!"

Another eyewitness who said she saw the crime through her bathroom window said it seemed like Hines was not wearing anything on top.

The suspect also seized at the crime scene is currently undergoing psychiatric evaluation and may soon be charged, police told reporters.

Hines has made a few short TV appearances in the past including "5 Flights Up" and "What Would You Do?" Her acting career over the past years had been limited to a few roles which she personally described in blog as making her feel "unfulfilled," New York Times reported.

The report added that Hines had just recently moved to New York after being casted in an indie film, where she quickly took to social media sharing what she though was the start of a dream come true.

She wrote on her blog, "Life can make you want to give up or walk away, sometimes it gives you the strength to appreciate when you do get your happy ending."

However, the shocking crime has cut Hines' dreams short. Her grandfather and Hollywood actor Freeman poured his feelings out on Facebook sharing, "The world will never know her artistry and talent."
