Jennifer Hudson's Mother and Brother Shot To Death!
Filed under: Jennifer Hudson
This is so horrible. Beyond words.
The mother of Oscar winning actress Jennifer Hudson has been killed.
Investigators said two shooting victims were discovered inside a home belonging to Hudson's mother just before 3:00 PM on Friday.
The home is located at 7019 South Yale in Chicago's Englewood neighborhood.
One of the victims was 57-year-old Darnell Hudson.
The other victim was identified as Jennifer's brother, Jason. A cousin who lived nearby discovered the bodies.
Darnell was shot in the head and Jason was shot in the chest, according to a spokesman for the Cook County medical examiner's office.
The shooting is believed to be domestic, police said.
Hudson is said to be flying to Chicago from Tampa.
Our thoughts to Jennifer during this incredibly difficult time.
Update: 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.

Good vibes to Jennifer Hudson and her family; so sad.
Life is too short. I hope they can find the little boy.
Re: MEGAMudkipz – wow, you're a total moronic asshole!
This is really fucked up. This woman made quite a lot of money (especially winning a oscar), and her family probably lived in the slums in chicago. Major FUCKED UP.
Re: puppies are soft! – SHUT THE FUCK UP.. YOUR a fucking low life loser who probably has 3 wheels on your house. Its people like YOU who should NEVER SPEAK or WRITE or EXIST. ( you may need to look that up as your so FUCKING IGNORANT ) YOUR a fucking DOUCHE BAG LOSER. Go back on your food stamps and beat it.
Oh no. That is beyond words. God is with you, Jennifer.

i can't even imagine
Wow, after reading over the other comments I'm pretty disappointed about the picture that was chosen before this one. Use your noggin', Perez.
That is absolutely horrible. My heart goes out to her and her family.
Re: RockChick711 – My point is why didn't she offer her family a better life..huh? huh? huh Einstein?

VERY, VERY HORRIFIC!

Re: The Bitch. – why are you so freakin' cranky…you got sand in yer vagina?!

i bet you think that ape-rah is beautiful….fat black nigglet bitches stick together!
:)
This is all over the Chicago news! Englewood is soooo dangerous… This is horrible and so sad!
absolutely terrible….just a nightmare. god be with jennifer and her family.
Omg all of you who were bitching at him for drawing on her shut up.
Haven't you ever noticed sometimes he uses the same pictures a few times?
Maybe he posted the wrong one thinking it was the original without drawing.
He changed it though so no more complaints.
Poor Jennifer that's such a sad story..
R.I.P
Re: Miss Lo –
I have been in the Englewood community many times as a caseworker…it is bad….one of the worst. I just asked myself the SAME question…WHY WOULD SHE LET HER FAMILY LIVE THERE STILL?!!!!
Re: Chitown13 – why would she LET her family live there still? MAYBE THEY WANTED TO BE THERE!!! what makes you think since she became 'famous' she can dictate where her family lives!! HELLO! some people have roots and pride in where they came from…….and regardless of fame, they still wanna stick around.
TRULY HORRIFIC. Jennifer, please just try to survive. I know what its like to lose mom at least.
WOW
I love Chicago. I was born here and will die here but this city is so dangerous. My thoughts and prayers are with Ms. Hudson and her family.
So horrible. Prayers for her…
OMG I couldn't believe it. That is crazy and I'm just on the other side of the city….wow
My heart goes out to Jennifer, how devasting!
this is terrible, just beyond words. i cant' even imagine what she's feeling right now, and i hope i never do imagine it actually, but seriously perez i don't think you should publish the address that's messed up!
OMG that's so awful. Poor Jennifer Hudson. And a child is missing too? How terrible. My thoughts and prayers are with that family. Hudson's career is taking off to such heights but look what's happened. I feel so sad for her.
horrible
oh god that's terrible :[ and even worse that she has to go through this infront of the whole world :[ kia kaha jennifer hudson xxxxxx
That's so terrible. I feel so sad for her. She's gone from the highest of highs career wise to the lowest of lows w/ this incident. How do you get over something like this??
Re: puppies are soft! – Oh, God, is there any possible way you can go kill yourself? Your cry for attention is making my ass hurt. Now run along, sexy, and masterbate yourself to sleep. Your visit here has expired.
I hate to be a stick in the mud, but is there no control here? Blatantly racist taunting? Is there any way we could stop that? We are all seeing today a terrible tragedy brought on by the fact that we sometimes let our rage run wild and take over. Let's all try to be the change we'd like to see in the world and stop attacking each other.
Maybe I am a stick in the mud
Omg that is so horrible! I feel so bad for her!
Re: puppies are soft! – I'm not a fat niggla bitch, but I'm sticking by anyone on the other side of you. Your comments are outrageous and YOU should be ashamed of yourself. Violence like what we've seen here will continue so long as hate like yours is in control.
..beyond words..
My deepest sympathy, thoughts, and prayers.
Re: RiannaHeartPerez –
STFU, he didn't have to use a picture period, and like you said, he changed it so move on.
Chicago's murder rate is higher than LA or New York. Welcome to Cook County, Illinois, home of Barack Obama.
Our thoughts and prayers are with her!
OMG!!
My heart breaks for her and her family. My love, good thoughts and prayers are being sent out to her family. God Bless.
Re: Jenisis – the only thing that is making your ass hurt is you letting every man fuck it…….
pig slut whore………go away…………you are not relevant. get it? leave!! go! bye bye!!! see ya later!!
how is the trailer by the way?
This is reported as being a domestic matter. However, neither Obama, Jesse Jackson, or any other "leader" have had the balls to take on they gangs.
Re: danimo – Regardless of one's zipcode…society as a whole feels the loss
its been on the news all day here in Illinois. Every day we here about killings in neighborhoods near there. =(
OMFG! This is THE most horrible news I've heard in the past month. God, I can't believe this. My thoughts with her and her family.
what a devastating thing to have happen to your family, with gods grace hopefully they will find Julian King alive and well, and the person responsible for this and give her family some peace
and furthermore the media could show some decorum and let her grieve without being under the microscope.
My heart breaks for her and her family. They are all in my prayers.
It blows me away that Perez finds a way to manipulate the public and divert one's attention from the true tragedy of Hudson's loss, to himself. C'mon people! Read the post again. Of course he posted a pic of Jennifer with doodles on it! And of course he blatantly posted the address of the homicide front and center! Perez uses every possible chance he has on his blog to draw attention to himself and away from the celebraties he writes about. Jennifer's tragedy is simply a vehicle for Perez to gain further notority at someone's else's expense. Shameful, and down right calculating. My heart goes out to Jennifer Hudson.
My thoughts and prayers are with all people envolved. Let this put things into perspective for us all. We're stressing car payments and Christmas shopping when we could be planning the funural for loved ones. Justice may not end up being served in this life, but surely in the next.
I am so sorry. May God be with Jennifers family.
Prayers!
oh my god, what a horrible news.
so, so sad.
This is dispictable. People are so unbelievably disgusting. I hope they find that little boy! Her and her family are in my thoughts. R.I.P
Horrible! Horrible, horrible, horrible.
Ho my god!! Too sad
So tragic! My prayers will be sent her way-I cannot fathom the idea of losing my mother and my brother. What a devastating day for her.
Re: Shit With Broken Bits of Glass – Ther only thing not relevant here is you stalking me, LMAO. look at you, NOBODY WAS TALKING TO YOU, little one! I didn't even see you here, and look at you, searching for me, even talking to me…what a shame. This subject is too intense for young minds such as yourself. So the only one that needs to go, bye, leave, all of that good shit, is you. Learn to mind your gotdamn business, and leave this place. This womans life has just changed forever and your dumb ass is stalking people. Suck my dick, dyke! Damn. You're scaring me, I told you, you like me, lol.
How horrible
My heart goes out to her and her family.
thanks for changing the picture perez
What horrible news
Rest in peace!
WTF? That is horrible
I hope they catch the low lifes that did this and find her nephew. Ugg, why? Why would someone do this? Too many fucked up people in this world.
This murder is so random. So shocking. I'm praying for you Jennifer.
tragic
OMG what a horrible senseless crime. To add to this tragedy a young boy is now being taken away from his home. How much worse could it get. Jennifer must feel as though her heart has been ripped out of her and she is in a nightmare. My deepest sympathies and lots of prayers are with her during this extremely difficult time. Prayers to the law enforcement to get the boy back safely to his family and friends who luv him.
OH MY GOD.
i'm so sorry, jennifer. we ALL wish you good luck with this horrible situation.
Wow, that is so horrible!!! My thoughts and prayers are with her family at this difficult time. Bless her heart.
That is so sad! I hope shes ok. sending her positive thoughts….I hope they find her nephew and that hes ok.
I live in Chicago and this is a terrible tragedy.
This has been going on in the inner streets of Chicago all year and its completely out of control. Maybe now they will call in the national guard because this is insane (and one of the reasons I got out of the City)
Thoughts and prayers are with the Hudson family
Stacey
Perez… please please make no more posts for a while after this news…simply as a mark of respect. This is seriously horrificaly upsetting. My thoughts and sympathies go out to jennifer. This is truly awful news. Its 4:30am in the uk…Iv e just read this and actually stopped cold. Utterly dreadful.xxxxx
everyone please keep jennifer in your prayers. I am, love you jen. Stay strong!
Was it really necessary to post the address AND the location on the bodies where they were shot?? Even if it's "public information", I find it completely disrespectful and absolutely unnecessary. Freedom of Speech is one thing, being an irresponsible blogger is another, especially since your site is read by millions of readers. Supplying information such as the address only adds fuel to the fire. Use the power of your blog wisely. Please think of it in terms if the shoe was on YOUR foot. How would you like it?
Absolutely heart wrenching. She and her family will be in my thoughts surely. I hope the lil boy is found safe.
This is too sad.
My thoughts and prayers are with Jennifer and the Hudson family…
Oh wow this is very sad. I was reading that her dad died when she was a teenager. Then she has to go through this how sad. Many god be with you.
MURDER IS THE WORSE NEWS OF ALL. GOD BLESS HER.
This is horrible. OMG. I feel so sorry for her. My prayers are with her and her family! this is just terrible.
Tragic. Thoughts are with Jennifer Hudson
Why did Jennifer allow her MOTHER to live in such a crappy neighborhood????
She has all that Dreamgirls/Sex in the City Coin. She should have bought her mother a home in a safe neighborhood.
wow. that is so tragic
thoughts are with you, jen!
So glad you changed the pic during the time I was away from the computer, Perez.
omg this is so sad. so horrible. I am so sorry for her. I hope she is able to get through this. My thoughts and prayers are with her and her family.
Re: Mimi the Magnificent –
do u watch my name is earl cuz that line sounds familiar XD
thats really sad =(
This is so sad I prayer for the Hudson family. I heard that Jennifer 's sister and son are missing I hope they are safe. The sister finished her shift at work and no one has seen or heard from her since then I also heard that the police think it is the sisters husband who did this I prayer to God that the sister is not involved in this mess. Has anyone heard the same as me?
Re: melsteinberg – I was thinking the same thing. I mean with movies/music/awards under her belt you think she may have gotten her mom atleast a better home or moved to a new neighbourhood. If I ever got rich I would buy my parents a car/home and my folks already live in a pretty good house as it is.
Oh wow. Jennifer, I hope you read Perez. What you've been through is just too much. I am thinking of you. Best wishes, my dear.
Black on black violence!?! I AM SHOCKED!!!
Ya might want to temporarily change the advertising banner on top… when I tuned into the website, the ad said "Someone is about to make a killing…" right above the post that Hudson's family had been murdered…
Terribly sorry for all concerned, praying for their peace and justice.
Oh this is too horrible for words. I only read an interview with her in an Australian mag. 2 weeks ago and she talks about how she looks up to her mum etc. I will remember u in my prayers.
God Bless you Jennifer….my prayers are with you baby
