Salluz Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 http://celebrity.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=celebrity.news&Id=552 http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/7690462.stm Jennifer Hudson's Mother and Brother Fatally Shot October 24,2008 9:20 AM: Jennifer Hudson's mother and brother were the two victims of a fatal shooting in Chicago, the actress's publicist says. "We can confirm that there is an ongoing investigation concerning the deaths of Jennifer Hudson's mother, Darnell Donerson, and her brother, Jason Hudson," rep Lisa Kasteler tells PEOPLE. "No further comment will be made and the family has asked that their privacy be respected at this difficult time." The victims' bodies were found by officers Friday in a South Side home listed in the name of Hudson's mother, and police say the shooting appeared to be related to a domestic disturbance. Hudson's 7-year-old nephew, Julian King, is missing. An Amber Alert has been issued for him."We are searching for a young boy from that address who is missing," says Chicago police spokesman Officer John Mirabelli. A man authorities were searching for in connection with the shootings, identified as William Balfour, 27, has been taken into custody and is being questioned by authorities, the Associated Press reports. No charges have been filed. According to the AP, police spokeswoman Monique Bond says police are talking to "a number of people in custody" but she declined to further elaborate. Hudson, 27, the Oscar-winning actress from Dreamgirls and an American Idol alum, recently got engaged to boyfriend David Otunga. She stars in the current film The Secret Life of Bees. • Additional reporting by JULIE JORDAN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhiJayy Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 What?! Man, that sucks. Is this the only article on this? There isn't much detail on what happen. Maybe because it happened yesterday. This is sad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Filodemo Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 Who is Jennifer Hudson? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blake Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 Jennifer Hudson was a contestant on American Idol. She didn't win (I along with many others believe she should have). Instead she went on to do acting, co-starring in Dreamgirls and stealing the spotlight from Beyonce brilliantly, and now she's an accepted star. It's a shame because her dad died, so this news means that three of her immediate family members are dead. : ( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thin Crust Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 I read this and thought Jason could be Jared Hudson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salluz Posted October 27, 2008 Author Share Posted October 27, 2008 It is believed that they found the suspect. If not, I hope that they do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MechaFone Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 They found the body of a 7 year old child. It's not confirmed that it's the nephew or not. I shiver to think of why not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadow Wolf Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 By the news stories I've read, it honestly sounds like a hit to me. Seriously. Two murders and a kidnapping... she must've pissed somebody off somehow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmr Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 By the news stories I've read, it honestly sounds like a hit to me. Seriously. Two murders and a kidnapping... she must've pissed somebody off somehow. Make that three murders. I'll be honest, I didn't really know who Jennifer Hudson was before all this, but I can't help being saddened by all of this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhiJayy Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 Make that three murders. I'll be honest, I didn't really know who Jennifer Hudson was before all this, but I can't help being saddened by all of this. Jennifer Hudson starred in "Dreamgirls" at least I think so anyway. My mom liked it alot, I never watched it, but I've heard that shes a good actress. But yeah three murders and all immediate family members. That's insane, I really wouldn't know what to do. Except for getting revenge of course... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suzumebachi Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 Jennifer Hudson starred in "Dreamgirls" at least I think so anyway. Not only starred in, but won an Academy Award for. Pretty much super talented. In any case it's sad to hear when things like this happen to anyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
