A quiet Detroit neighborhood where the recent home invasion has raised concerns among residents.
Andre Stephon-Curtis Broadenax, a 29-year-old from Detroit, faces charges for a home invasion and vehicle theft involving his 11-year-old daughter. The crimes occurred on April 29, 2025, and led to an arrest by the Detroit Police Department. Broadenax is charged with first-degree home invasion, vehicle theft, and using a minor in the commission of a felony. Residents are concerned about the rare incident in their generally safe neighborhood, prompting discussions about community safety.
Detroit man Andre Stephon-Curtis Broadenax, aged 29, has been charged with multiple offenses following a home invasion and vehicle theft incident involving his 11-year-old daughter. The charges were formally announced by Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy.
The alleged crimes took place on April 29, 2025, at approximately 8:43 PM. Broadenax is accused of breaking into the residence of a 75-year-old man located in the 600 block of Marquette Drive in Detroit. In addition to the home invasion, he is charged with stealing a vehicle belonging to a 52-year-old man from nearby Dearborn Heights.
Authorities state that Broadenax reportedly utilized his young daughter to assist him in both the invasion and the theft of the vehicle. Upon entering the victim’s home while in possession of the stolen vehicle, Broadenax allegedly fled the scene on foot shortly after committing the crimes.
A detailed investigation conducted by the Detroit Police Department quickly led to Broadenax’s arrest shortly after the incident transpired.
Broadenax is facing several serious charges, which include:
Following his arrest, Broadenax was arraigned on May 2, 2025, at the 36th District Court. He was initially granted a $75,000 cash/surety bond, which included conditions of house arrest and the use of a GPS tether. However, after a bond re-determination hearing on May 5, the court increased his bond to $150,000, while maintaining the same conditions.
A probable cause conference has been scheduled for May 14, 2025, at 8:30 AM, with a preliminary examination following on May 21, 2025, at 8:45 AM.
The incident has raised concerns among residents of the neighborhood, who expressed shock and worry over the rare occurrence of such crimes in their community. The area, which is in proximity to the Detroit Water and Sewerage Plant, is generally considered safe, making the home invasion particularly alarming for neighbors.
Home invasions and vehicle thefts have been ongoing issues in Detroit and surrounding areas. The involvement of a minor in such crimes adds another layer of complexity and concern for the community and authorities alike. Police and local community organizations often work together to promote safety and awareness in hopes of avoiding similar incidents in the future.
This case is part of ongoing efforts by law enforcement to address crime rates in urban areas and ensure the safety of all residents, particularly vulnerable populations like the elderly and children.
