From USA Today: Authorities investigating the shooting deaths of Jennifer Hudson’s mother and brother were searching for the missing 7-year-old nephew of the Oscar-winning actress. A suspect in the deaths was in custody Friday night, but young Julian King had not been seen since the bodies of Darnell Donerson, 57, and Jason Hudson, 29, were found Friday afternoon. A family member entering Donerson’s South Side home Friday afternoon found the woman shot on the living room floor. Officers later found Hudson shot in the bedroom, police said. At least one of the victims suffered defensive wounds, said authorities who described the shooting as domestic violence. William Balfour, a man suspected in the deaths, was arrested Friday but had not been charged, law enforcement sources told the Chicago Tribune and Chicago Sun-Times.
I cannot even fully comprehend this sort of tragedy touching a person’s life. All I can say is that my thoughts and prayers go out to Jennifer Hudson and her family and I hope that her nephew will be found and returned home soon. I’m sure you all will join me in sending our thoughts and condolences to her family. This is just really, very sad news.

This is honestly the most horrifying news. I’m sending all of my thoughts and prayers to the entire Hudson family. I can’t fully wrap my head around this…I can’t even imagine what the family must be going through…I’m praying for the safe return of her nephew.

My deepest Condolences go out to Jennifer Hudson and her family. I was watching her in the Sex and the City movie last night when I heard about it. I just cannot even wrap my head around how terribly tragic and heartbreaking this must be for her. What a terrible way to lose a family member and on top of it to have the worry that no one knows where the boy is and whether or not he is even alive. I pray they find him soon.
