A very sad update to the tragedy that has hit Jennifer Hudson‘s family … the body of her 7-year old nephew, Julian King, who has been missing since last Friday (when the bodies of Hudson‘s mother and brother were found fatally shot in their Chicago, IL home) has been identified. This makes him the third person in Hudson‘s family to have been killed in this horrible incident:
The body found inside an SUV Monday morning has been confirmed to be Oscar-winning actress Jennifer Hudson’s 7-year-old nephew, a top FBI official said. The medical examiner positively identified the body found in the Chevrolet Suburban as Julian King, Monday afternoon. Earlier Monday Deputy Chief Cmdr. Wayne Gulliford said police had responding to “a call about a suspicious auto” in the west side of Chicago at approximately 7 a.m. when they found the body inside a parked white Chevy Suburban, which had a license plate matching the description in the child’s Amber Alert. He had no details on the body, pending the medical examiner’s report. Julian has been missing since Hudson’s mother and brother were found dead in their home Friday.
What else can be said? My deepest heartfelt condolences and prayers of support go out to the entire Hudson family. This is a devastating tragedy without explanation. So incredibly sad.

The death penalty should ALWAYS be legal and this crime is why. I don’t believe in keeping these criminals’ in our jail to think about what they did. They have no remorse, they take up space, and they waste taxpayers’ money. I know I sound harsh, but the person who did this to the Hudson’s was out on the streets for years. If he did not do this to them, he would have done it to another family. Once he goes to prison, they will kill him there, anyway. A child killer won’t last long in the US prison system. If only this killer’s mother had aborted…
This is the most horrifying news…my thoughts and prayers are with the entire Hudson family during this tragic time. I pray that God gives them the strength to cope with this and move forward as best they can. I can’t wrap my head around this entire situation…
All my love goes out to Jennifer and her family and everyone in Chicago.
That said, I hope this wont become a political issue about the death penalty (see JarEdina’s post). We spend far more $$$ trying to sentence people to death than we do housing them in prison …
I hope we can focus on making sure the family and those affected get the help and love they need … and NOT just focus on punishment.
Oh good God…I can’t imagine the hell this family is going through right now. What kind of sick excuse for a human being would kill a CHILD?! That poor little boy. I’ve been hoping he was found alive since this news broke. Such devastating news.
I hope the piece of sh*t that did this is brought to justice. And thrown into a ditch somewhere after much suffering.
This is so terrible and horrific. How could anyone do such a thing?? My prayers go out the entire Hudson family. I hope they find the bastard that did this.
Who would kill a child? My heart broke when I heard this…I really hope they find who did this or even why so the family can have closure and so justice can be served.
I’ve been sick to my stomach all day since I heard they found the body of a young boy. The Hudson family is in my prayers.
Oh no! What terrible news. This is just so so sad. My thoughts and prayers go to Jennifer and her family :’(
So unbelievable. Hope they get the fucker who did this. Poor Jennifer! I can’t imagine what she’s going through right now!
This is just truly shocking, horrendous news… My thoughts are with Jennifer and her family… What a sad, sad loss…
No family deserves to go through this nor should this happen to anyone. I send my support to Jennifer along with her family.
I’m not the praying type, but I’ve been praying that sick fuck would spare Julian since the news broke. Sadly, it doesn’t surprise me that he didn’t.
I really don’t understand why people feel the need to kill others…especially children. It seems like a day doesn’t go by where there isn’t some psychotic freak shooting his neighbor or kidnapping a random kid.
I feel so horrible for Jennifer and the rest of her family. I can’t even begin to imagine the pain they’re going through right now.
this breaks my heart.
jennifer, our prayers are with you in this terrible tragedy. <3
no one should have to go through this, ever. i can only pray God gives you the strength to cope.
hopefully, whoever did this get caught. my prayers are with the hudson’s family.
This is one of the worst horror stories I’ve ever heard of.. Whoever did this won’t get away with it, that’s for sure! My heart goes out to Jennifer, and I hope that she is surrounded with good people that will help her through this difficult time. ;( <3
It brings me to tears how sad I am for the Hudson family.
My sincer condolences to them, loosing family in horrid circumstances isn’t easy to get through the pain.
I’m not the prayering type but I know there in better hands now, safe from cruelty, and I only hope justice for them will be givin.
With Love,

So sad. J. Hud’s career was going up and up…And then this happened? What type of person does this…especially to a CHILD? why…..wtf? Really breaks my heart y’all. God bless her and her family at this point of grief.
I just heard that the little boy had numerous gunshot wounds and that they police have a family member (I think) that they are questioning. All so very tragic.
First of all, I also offer my sincere condolences to Jennifer Hudson & her family that such a horrible tragedy happened to them; losing those we love os never easy. But there is a great difference between losing someone to illeness or accident & murder or suicide…
But I find myself truly shocked at most of the responses I’ve read here & on other blogs… DON’T ANY OF YOU READ/WATCH THE NEWS!? Domestic violence happens far too often in this world every day. It hits ALL walks of life REGARDLESS of race, religion, nationality, gender & sexual preference, age, etc. – The stories I’ve read have been horrible, sickening… All because one person deems the other expendable for daring to be independent & leave their “owner”. In a lot of cases, the perpetrating kills their loved one (wife/lover), & then themselves.
In rarer cases, the abuser kills family members in order to have their “target” live the rest of their lives grieving the loss for the rest of their lives. Case in point: a husband, angered that his wife divorced him, took their 3 kids & shot them in front of her before taking his own life. When the bodies were found so was the note: “It’s her fault; SHE made me DO IT!”
Again, my sincere condolences to the Hudson family for a tragedy NO ONE should EVER have to go through.
my deepest symphaty to jennifer hudson,,..
this is truly disgusting. it makes me want to throw up. poor baby.heart breaking. I hope justice is served.
