PHOTOS OF J.HUD’S FAMILY COURTESY OF BLACKCELEBKIDS.COM

Oscar-winning actress Jennifer Hudson’s mother and brother were found shot to death inside a home on Friday. According to reports, her nephew and sister are missing….

Police have confirmed Hudson’s mother, Darnell Hudson Donerson, is one of the deceased. The other victim has been identified as Jennifer Hudson’s brother Jason Hudson.

A search is under way for a young boy who is missing from the home. A child, possibly Jennifer Hudson’s 7-year-old nephew, Julian King, is missing, according to sources. Police are searching for an SUV that was seen in the area, a 1994 white Suburban, Illinois license plate number X584859. [ read more + video ]


FROM TMZ, ON FRIDAY (view photos):

UPDATE 7:35 PM ET: Police are looking for William Balfour, who they claim could be with the missing 7-year-old. According to records, Balfour listed Hudson’s mother’s address as a place of residence within the last year. According to the Illinois Department of Corrections website, Balfour is currently on parole after serving jail time for attempted murder.

UPDATE 8:35 PM ET: Lost in all this is Jennifer’s sister Julia, mother of the missing 7-year-old. We’re told she works as a bus driver in Chicago. Her employer told us she worked her shift today. She hasn’t been seen since.

UPDATE 11:26 PM ET: The suspect, William Balfour, has been taken into custody. Hudson’s newphew, 7-year-old Julian King is still missing. Balfour is refusing to cooperate with cops or supply info.

This is horrible news. We here are Concrete Loop extend our condolences to Jennifer Hudson and her family at this tragic time.

Jennifer’s mother looks just like Kanye’s mother. All we can do is pray for them. By the way, AWJ12687 said: “I just know the perpetrators are black and wanted some damn money.” Yeah right…

My mind can’t fathom the pain Jennifer must be experiencing at this time. Thankfully she has such a strong faith in God that she can lean on Him for her comfort and strength. My heart weeps for her. God bless you, Jen, during this horrific time. My God’s peace and comfort and the support of your family and friends get you through probably the worst day of your life.

Much love!

That is really fucked up and I am sorry to hear that.

I am sorry but this has been bugging me and I have to say it. That community does not seem like a very afluent community. All the money that J-Hud has and all the parading around she’s been doing, it never dawned on her to move her mother out the hood?

179.

Joja86

Saturday, October 25, 2008 /

wow Beccs. I hope they found the culprit?

There is shock, anger, sadness, and confusion at the same time.. I don’t think JHud has even sunk into it yet. I hope they tranquilized her with something because this is gonna hit hard with each day that passes by. Feel like she’s waking up from a nightmare… Forget wedding plans, I wouldn’t be able to shape one without having family there. If the sis and boy is gone, her whole family is a wrap; Sad because her dad died years go. So much support coming to her myspace page, yahoo, mtv, bet, vh1, tmz, cl, theybf, MTO…this spread like wildfire. At least she can face this killer and get some answers. Would have just been plain turmoil having him kill everyone and die without facing guilt,etc.

The police need to be sued and put in check..maybe Chicago will be better now after this. Imagine how fast they could have caught him or saved the brother at least. He got shot in the chest…may have had a chance.

#178 Jennifer has not been one to parade anything. If you watch the video you will hear the pastor say that Jennifer’s mom is deeply rooted in the community and didn’t want to leave. Jennifer is never really dressed up like she has money unless it is for promotions or heels. This was not a random crime this was someone who resided in the same household as Jennifer’s mom.

This truly is a shame. Why do people not value human life anymore.
I pray that GOD will keep Jennifer Hudson & her family in his loving arms & that he will bring her sister & nephew home safely.
Stay blessed everyone & tell your loved ones you love them cause you never know when they might be taken from you

JENNIFER DEFINITELY HAS A STRONG MIND, HEART, AND SPIRIT. THERE IS NOT DOUBT THAT HER STRENGTH COMES FROM HER FAMILY. THERE HAVE BEEN MANY TIMES WHEN SHE HAS MENTIONED HER MOTHER IN INTERVIEWS AS ONE OF HER BIGGEST INFLUENCES. I JUST HOPE THAT THE MEDIA WILL ALLOW HER ENOUGH ROOM TO GRIEVE PRIVATELY AND COMFORTABLY. OUR HEARTS AND PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU AND YOUR FAMILY!!!

Thank goodness this case is making some progress pretty fast and the suspect has been found, but I just read the idiot (suspect) is saying he won’t tell the police where her nephew Juilan is. This is absoutely ridiculous. Lord, I pray that baby is okay.

Ladies wake up and stop dating and marrying these unseemly men! A thug is not fit to marry I REPEAT A THUG IS NOT FIT TO MARRY!. I feel so sorry for this family being from Chicago myself. Take more time to get to know the people you marry women and men alike. Throw away the I can change them complex. If he has a arrest record a mile long take a pass. If she is a Drama Queen leave her where she is PERIOD!

God, help them. I read his myspace page and his mood as listed as “forgotten”…smh it’s just sad, what people will do now. So self entitled…refuse to control their anger!
Also, something that’s bugging me. On mainstream blogs people are saying her mom refused to leave her house/neighborhood. So, I get that her mom lived in a bad part of town but the house looked huge and new…it was an ariel shot but it looked huge…So did she buy her a new home in the area she refused to leave? I just wondered because people are making it seem like Jennifer did nothing to improve the quality of her Mom’s life.

193/Antwanm, Exactly! I remember reading several years ago in either Ebony or Essence that some corporate businesswoman (black) had a thing for thugs. She wrote an entire article, romanticizing the relationship and it’s just disgusting. If a man has spent his entire life angry, what makes you think you won’t soon be the one he’s angry at? It’s just ridiculous…
But What is this T M Z are reporting about a car? He sold Julia’s car? Was it a nice car her sister bought her? SMH I’m just so upset! It’s senseless and nobody deserves this..her family looks so nice and they were so supportive of her. It’s just a sad day.

My heart goes out to Jennifer and I pray that they find the little boy, but something is bothering me.

I just looked at the sister’s myspace page and she was online. Prior to today, the last time she was online was 10/23. Since she logged back on she has changed her mood to numb. Ok, I guess I can understand that but she has added people as friends to her page tonight. I don’t get it.

If my son was missing, I sure as hell wouldn’t be sitting on Myspace adding people as friends, I would be out looking for him. That is, unless I knew where he was…

I’m not one to speculate but…

Well, ConcreteLoop family I will go out today and buy Jennifer’s stuff(album) because you know what it’s so sad this girl lost her family all in one day.

I will go see the “secret lives of bees” so that she can get paid. This is just too bad sad for words.

I will stick by my sister Jennifer. Wow! Nothing is greater than a “Mother’s Love” and in memory of her and her family. I’ll

Saturday, October 25, 2008 /

Just would like to send my condolences and prayers to Jennifer and her family. I cannot imagine what it must feel like to have a family member (s) murder but that the fact that you might actual know the killer is really sad.

I agree with #193 on her sister’s webpage it said that her weakness ‘ is good dick’ and her favourite style in a man is ‘hood’…..

I am sure she is feeling terrible at the moment to lose her family members and the kidnapping of her son in a tragedy way but maybe that moment of madness was years in the making. Cause the punk looks like a straight loser.

Ladies and Gents please be careful what type of people you bring into your life because at the end of the day that decision could be a deadly one.

I bet jealousy had something to do with this. When you make it big, jealous kin full of contempt surface and their main motivation after that is to make you give them what you got or else. Vick and Game can identify with that. That negro look shady and with such a violent past, wonder why he was parolled or how long his original sentence had been. So Sad and evil. God Bless the little boy and make that evil leave whoever has him long enough to let him live and let him go free, in Jesus name, Amen.

Sad, sad, sad. Trifiling family member.
