Jennifer Hudson's Mother & Brother Found Dead

Sad news out of Chicago. Jennifer Hudson's mother was found dead in her Chicago home at around 3 this afternoon. Two people were found fatally shot in the South Side home. The family's church confirmed that one of the victims was 57-year-old Darnell Hudson. The identity of the other victim hasn't been confirmed yet.

Condolences to Jennifer Hudson and her family.

UPDATE: The other victim has been identified as Jennifer's brother, Jason. They were found by Jennifer's cousin. Police believe the shooting was the result of a domestic dispute. Police are reportedly looking for a man and a 7-year-old boy. (Source)

UPDATE II: The boy is Jennifer's nephew, Julian King. An Amber Alert has been issued. Police believe Julian was taken from the home. They are looking for a 1994 White Chevy Suburban with license plate: X584859. (Source)

UPDATE III: Jennifer Hudson's brother-in-law, William Balfour, was arrested by police. JHud's nephew Julian is still missing. William isn't cooperating with police or giving any kind of information. They believe William kidnapped Julian from the home after the murders. Police are still looking for Julian.

William has a long, long criminal history. He has served 7 years in prison for attempted murder.

Neighbors are saying that William and Julia had been fighting for the past two weeks over a car. They say William sold her car without her permission. (Source)

He is best. He has been worse than that, when he is worse he is little better than a beast.

How can you thank God for a song that the Devil helped you write?

DUDE's picture

snowpiece-You should be able to find the lyrics online. It's just an aria from the song, but you need to take the whole song in it's context.

You say that the river
finds the way to the sea
and like the river
you will come to me
beyond the borders
and the dry lands
You say that like a river
like a river...
the love will come
the love...
And i don't know how to pray anymore
and in love I don't know how to hope anymore
and for that love I don't know how to wait anymore

the DUDE! abides...

I saw it on Fox about 15 minutes ago. Emailed MK, and he said he was posting it. And they did say that the baby is being held for ransom at this time. Its not on Headline news though.

Damn, I just sent this over to MK.

It was only a matter of time when New York let out her fury for losing that fine choco bear to J-Hud.

Super sad. :(

What a nightmare. How do you carry on when something like that happens to your family?

DUDE's picture

Dici che il fiume
trova la via al mare
E come il fiume
giungerai a me
Oltre i confini
e le terre assetate
Dici che come fiume
come fiume
L'amore giunger
L'amore
E non so pi pregare
E nell'amore non so pi sperare
E quell'amore non so pi aspettare

Jesus Christ. Does this have anything to do with her having money now? They hold a baby for ransom to get her money in the end? IT's fucked up and imagine if that was the plan the guilt she will feel (even though it is in no way her fault)

Wow, Denver news has the jump on Chicago's news stations. I just watched the local news here and victims names haven't been released. They're saying 2 adults, 1 male and 1 female were inside the home which belonged to Darnell Hudson and there was a fire. Though the entire block is cordoned off with mega police presence - for a fire death scenario.

This is horrible!!! What kind of deranged animal does that? I hope they get their asses NOW! _______________________________________________
