Detroit Man Charged with Home Invasion and Car Theft Involving Daughter
Detroit, MI — A 29-year-old Detroit resident, Andre Stephon-Curtis Broadenax, has been formally charged with multiple offenses following a home invasion and vehicle theft that allegedly involved his 11-year-old daughter. The Wayne County Prosecutor’s Office announced the charges on May 2, 2025.
Police allege that Broadenax broke into the home of a 75-year-old man on Marquette Drive in Detroit and then stole a vehicle belonging to another victim, a 52-year-old man from Dearborn Heights, late on the evening of April 29, 2025, at approximately 8:43 PM. The Detroit Police Department’s investigation into the incident led to Broadenax’s arrest shortly afterward.
Charges Filed Against Broadenax
Broadenax faces an array of serious charges, including:
- First-degree home invasion
- Second-degree home invasion
- Larceny in a building
- Receiving and concealing a motor vehicle
- Inducing a minor to commit a felony
- Contributing to the delinquency of a minor
At his arraignment on May 2, 2025, Broadenax was assigned a cash/surety bond of $75,000, with specific conditions that include wearing a GPS tether and being placed under house arrest. However, following a bond re-determination hearing on May 5, the judge increased the bond amount to $150,000 with the same conditions in place.
Upcoming Legal Proceedings
Broadenax’s case is set to continue with a probable cause conference scheduled for May 14, 2025, at 8:30 AM. A preliminary examination is anticipated to take place shortly after, on May 21, 2025, at 8:45 AM.
Background of the Incident
The incident that initiated these charges is reported to have occurred when Broadenax allegedly forced entry into the elderly man’s home and fled on foot shortly thereafter. The involvement of his 11-year-old daughter in the commission of these crimes adds a troubling dimension to the case, raising concerns about child welfare and parental responsibility.
The charges filed against Broadenax underscore serious allegations of criminal behavior that not only impact the direct victims but also raise significant issues regarding the potential harm inflicted upon minors involved in such activities. This incident exemplifies challenges faced within communities in terms of crime and family dynamics, highlighting the need for vigilance and legal intervention in instances involving minors in the context of criminal activities.
As the judicial process unfolds, the court will evaluate the evidence against Broadenax, and the implications of the charges will be carefully considered by legal professionals and family support services.
