Body of Jennifer Hudson’s Nephew Found
The body of Julian King, Jennifer Hudson’s 7-year-old nephew was discovered Monday in a white SUV on Chicago’s West Side.
Law enforcement sources said that the boy was shot multiple times in the back of the vehicle, with at least one gun shot to the head.
The boy’s stepfather, William Balfour, 27, is currently in the custody of state officials but has not been formally charged.
Our hearts are extended to the entire Hudson family.

This was very unexpected. May god comfort the Hudson family during this heartbreaking time. Jenn’s fans are praying and God will make justice!
Jennifer, you and your family are in my prayers. Peace
OMG! that is awful! i will keep her famliy in my prayers and pray for everyone who has to go through such horrible things such as this. be strong.
My heart goes out to Jennifer and her family…7 year old Julian deserved so much more from this life…how tragic of him to meet his untimely end in such a brutal fashion. I have such anger for the ******* that did this. I hope God will reign his vengence on such a wicked, wicked person!
That is absolutely HORRIBLE. My prayers and go out to Jennifer and her family.
I am so depressed today. I have a 7 yr old. More depressing is that we are only hearing this because this sweet little boy happened to be the nephew of a celebrity. Think of the horrible things that are happening that we don’t even hear about…. Yes, it’s people, not guns, kill. But bad people with guns kill EASIER and MORE.
AGREE NUMBER # 7 ” EM “……The death penalty would be right in this case….But, first he or she ( or both , whoever did it ), should be tortured slowly, and then turned loose in the hard core prison facility….They are the meanest, BUT will not tolerate a child killer…….Both my sons work in law enforcement, and they have always said, ” that no matter WHAT these hard core prisoner’s have done, they absolutely will NOT let a child killer be among them…they will kill them….
I hope this person rots and ************…This was such an unfeeling and vile act, with no regard to human life…Especially, if they take the life of a child….
May they rest in peace…..Love you Jennifer !

What a tragedy !!
I know that no WORD can make you feel better now and that no one can replace the loss of someone you love deeply and no one can understand the pain and the sadness of the situation.
My prayers are with you Jen and your entire family.
May God help you through this difficult moment of your life.
Its soo horrible that Jennifer has to go through this. Losing 3 loved ones is simply awful. I was hoping that her nephew would be found alive.
Stay strong Jennifer. My thoughts and prayers are out to you and your family.
This is beyond tragic. My heart goes out to Jennifer and her family. Three innocent lives taken…I wish nothing but harm on the killer. What a shame. Gun control is out of control in this country. On tonight’s news, every segment was about shootings. Tragic.
So sad. My heart is just breaking over this terrible news. My heart goes out to Jennifer, Julia and the rest of their family. The person who did this is a monster.
RIP Little Julian
How could someone be so sick commit to something like that?
With love Jennifer<33

That is so sad. She lost her mom,brother & nephew.
My prayers and sympathies go to the entire Hudson family. What a horrible thing to happen and heartbreakingly sad. This is beyond tragic and senseless. I hope she, her sister and the rest of the family can endure this unthinkable pain and find eventual peace, Many warm thoughts and prayers.
I wish we could rid the world of all the evil people like this. It is so very sad and to kill a baby like that , makes you hope there is a hell for someone who would do this!!
that is so insanely sad. thoughts and prayers with Jennifer’s family…
To shoot anyone is horrible, but a 7 year old little boy?????????? :*( *******. God bless Jennifer and her family. Our hearts go out to her.

How much more South side killings can I take?
Human life valued less than a Mickey D meal;
Witnessing murders at age 8 still gives me chills;
Gang violence, drug abuse, my schoolmates gunned down;
This little boy’s obituary turned my smile into a frown;
My broken heart melts, my tears frozen like freeze pops;
Human life so devalued and reduced to dirt on a mop;
Like J-Hud, born and raised on the South Side of the Chi;
Seen so many die beaten and shot to death all I could do is ask why?
When will human life become more precious than diamonds and pearls?
‘Cause all I see is murder victims-little boys and little girls;
Why do the children have to suffer by the hands of a heartless murderer?
Seems like life is less valuable than a cheap 99 cent burger.
The killing must stop, the children must live and play;
Unity is what we need in order to ensure we live to see another day.
Life is the reason why we exist in this Universe so wake up;
Have faith boys, girls, women and men.
In God we must have faith and trust.

this si creepy.
i’m not a fan of hers, but, man, so sad.
That is heartbreaking……..It’s awful when anyone dies in that manner , but for heavens sake, he was just a little boy!!! So wrong and so sad.
THE SAD THING IS THAT THERE ARE PROBARBLY 1000′S OF SHOOTING CASES WE DON’T HEAR ABOUT.
Guns should be against the law!
Apparently the suspect of the murders is the step-father, how could anyone do this to anyone let alone their own family!
i hope whoever was apart of this murder have the same thing done to them, i find this very hard to forgive
omg..why would somebody do that!!!!
some people are SICKKKK!
ahhhh i cant believ thati hoped he would be alive
:(
rip to all three of them!
stay strong jennifer<333
This poor soul has been so much already, this is just terrible! My thoughts are with them, especially with the upcoming holiday season!
*hugs*
OH DEAR
KEEPS GETTING WORSE, HOW COULD YOU LOOK AT A CHILD AND HAVE THE HEART TO KILL???
RIP, may good keep the family safe from anymore harm
