Jennifer Hudson's Mother & Brother Found Shot in Home




Academy Award-winner Jennifer Hudson's mother (Darnell Hudson Donnerson) & brother (Jason Hudson) were found shot inside Darnell's Chicago home. According to CBS2 in Chicago:



Two adults were found fatally shot at a home at 70th Street and Yale Avenue at 3 p.m. Friday, authorities said. Willie Davis, the pastor of the Hudson family's church, Progressive Baptist, confirmed that 57-year-old Darnell Hudson Donnerson was one of the victims.



A neighbor tells TMZ the other victim was Jennifer's brother Jason. A cousin who lived nearby discovered the bodies.



A Chicago police spokeswoman also said a 7-year-old boy was reported missing. Police identified him as Julian King, but they would not say whether he is a relative of the actress (Internet sources report that he's Jennifer's nephew). He is 5-foot tall, weighs 135 pounds, with brown eyes and black hair.


The police said that they are searching for a William Balfour as a suspect in the double homicide. They said that he is considered to be armed and dangerous and may be driving white 1994 Chevrolet Suburban with Illinois license plate No. X584859 or a teal/green Chrysler Concord four-door with a left front headlight hanging out that is scratched all along its left side. The Chrysler is displaying temporary tags of 332K823. The missing boy may be in the vehicle. According to a source, the actress' sister (Julia) reported the boy missing from the home.

Jennifer is currently on her way back home to Chicago; the investigation is ongoing. Our prayers & condolences are with the Hudson Family.
