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.

Re: puppies are soft! – Nice thing to post on a blog about a woman who's mother & brother were just murdered…I just had a talk with Karma & he told me a secret…he'll be visiting you in the next few days….have a good time
Ooohh
I feel awfull bad, Jennifer!
Only God can heal the pain!
God Bless you always!
Has anyone accounted for Fantasia's whereabouts?
No? I didn't think so!
"PRAYERS FOR HER AND HER FAMILY."
At little late, dear.
Jesus already killed them.

Re: Shit With Broken Bits of Glass –
Yes, you are right…guess it came out the wrong way. I don't know, I guess that's just me. I know if I had $ like Jen, I would want to move to a less violent neighborhood.
It's just absolutely horrible about what happened.
"Only God can heal the pain!"
Since God sat back, popped some corn, and watched them die . . . maybe not.
This is a total tragedy, I am shocked.
Peace be with the Hudson family, our thoughts and prayers are with you during these trying times.
this is terrible news. i pray julian is found safe.
my deepest sympathy to jennifer and her family.
omg. so sad. and she just got engaged. this is horrible…
Re: JuneGordon – WTF…where do you FREAKS OF NATURE come from anyhow?
I am so sorry Jennifer…you are such a beautiful spirited person and you make Chicago proud. I hope you will be ok.
Now, I am from Chicago and all these comments about Obama not cleaning up crime here. Well, the same people who are saying this are also leaving rude comments about Jennifer and her family at her lowest moment of her life. It really just goes to show you what type of people are anti-Obama. You people do not have one bit of compassion or one once of positivity or love in your heart. It's really disgusting and I hope for once the nice guy finishes first. And most of you probably have not even been to Chicago, which is one of the most beautiful cities in the world.
Take care Jennifer!
Re: JuneGordon – Is that your grotesque mug in that default? If so I totally understand your ugliness…you are mad at the world that you look the way you do!! If I had that face I would stand in front of a speeding train
OMFG!!!!
That is absolutely horrific! Bad things happen to good people.
My thoughts and prayers are with Jennifer and her family.
That's just awful! I live in Chicago too! I'm going to keep an eye out for her poor nephew! That's just horrible …
The fact that many of you are commenting on where her mother lives-.i.e the slums- does not matter. Domestic violence occurs in all cultures; people of all races, ethnicities, religions, sexes and classes.
It’s a tragic loss that many of us will never experience-she lost her mother and brother.
my prays and thoughts are with you.
Re: puppytoes1 – Thank you!!!!! The point here is, THEY could have lived in a 10 million $$ mansion A FAMILY MEMBER KILLED THEM! Has NOTHING to do with their location
Darnell and Jason? Her Mother sure has an odd name. Something tells me Perez fucked it all up in at attempt to be "first" to break the story.
You all must understand, Perez will be SUED if he does not do his "art work" on these photos, which are all copyrighted by the photographers. They lose their rights once he has "drawn on them." He seems to have removed this latest one, which is interesting, after many complaints.
i don't even like her and that is absolutely terrible. one of my roommates boyfriends just stabbed another guy tonight on our porch (he's alive thank god) but this is hitting close to home
OMGGGG, this is so terrible! Prayers are with her & all affected
this is so sad. prayers for her and her family
all my love to jennifer and her family… so sad. i can't imagine and am wishing for the boy's safe return.
The actress' sister, Julia, reported the boy missing from the home Friday afternoon, a police source said. Family friends said the boy was her son, but police did not confirm that. The MySpace pages for Julia Hudson and the suspect say they are married and that Julian is her son.
Cook County court records show the suspect pleaded guilty in 1999 to attempted murder and vehicular hijacking. He also was convicted in a 1998 case of possession of a stolen motor vehicle, records show.
The man was released from the Illinois River Correctional Center in Downstate Canton in May 2006 after serving 7 years in prison. He is still on probation, state records show.
my thoughts and prayers go out to you jennifer. It is so unfortunate that an amazing women like her has to go through this unbelievable experience that I could never be able to understand. Justice will be found!
awful, awful, awful.
That is horrible. I could not even imagine…
… Why do bad things happen to good people??
I cant believe people keep getting pissed about the picture and the address. He has to use a picture that is his and this was probably thr only one. It probably took him so long to use another picture because he probably had to get the RIGHTS to use it. And with the address, its ALL over the media. I've seen it on other news websites and they even said it on the 10 o'clock news. Its nopt just him. Now to the point,
I cant even try to think how she must be feeling right now. This is so horrible i cant even think of words to say. Ill def pray for her and her family in church tomorrow.
$500 for anyone who beats perez hilton with a baseball bat!

Re: SarahAmerica – Was that your idea of funny or cute? It's "I'm sorry for your LOSS" not your LOSE…idiot
There are no words to express this tragedy! I sincerely hope the media allows her to mourn in peace!
May they be with GOD now…RIP
Practically the first thing I did this morning was check this…
and you changed the picture. You really do listen to your fans.
Poor dear, thoughts and prayers are with her!
And some for you too P-
Wow.
My heart goes out to her and the rest of her family and all those who knew and loved them.
I pray that whatever happened and whoever did this gets justice.
Re: LusciousLiz –
Thank you for posting after mine. For some reason people fail to see that-even if Jennifer moved her mother in a million $ home- this still would have happened. Domestic violence has no dollar value, it can happen to any social class.
Also, thank you for responding to those who made light of the situation-apparently they do not see the horrific/unspeakable crime that happened.
First off i need to say im truly sorry to hear about Jennifer Hudson's loss, and i hope they find her missing nephew asap. Second, fuck all you assholes who are bashing Chicago, it may not be perfect but what fucking city is. Oh and fuck your damn statistics. Chicago has alot to offer so quit looking at the negative shit.
aww that poor darling
my heart goes out to her
tc jennifer
OMG!MY PRAYERS GO OUT 2 HER N HER FAM.I HOPE THEY FIND THAT LIL BOY N IS WELL.HOPE THEY CATCH THE FUCKER THAT IS DOING ALL THIS 2 HER!
This is very sad. To lose a family member in normal conditions is sad, imagine how it must be to lose in a tragic way!
I only hope that Jennifer have the time she needs to cry, because is very hard to move over.
My prayers are with you, big girl!
All the strenght of the world you will need now!
OMG this is terrible!!!! My prayers are with her and her family!!!!!!
terrible news!! My prayers are with Jennifer and the Hudson family! I really hope they find the little boy!!
RIP.
.
So sad
My prayers are with Jennifer.
R.I.P poor poor family, must be sooo upset, I love Jenifer Hudson because sh is sich an inspiration for looking gorgeous and not being size 0, she and her family did not deserve this, The murderer should rot in hell, or prison! XXX
(*Sniffff*)
Oooooooh…..My….Gosh.
I can`t even begin to imagine what Jennifer is going through right now,
But I truly do hope that the police are able to get to the bottom of this,
And my heart truly does go out to Jennifer and her family….
Re: bobbytomorow – AND YOU HAVE THE BRAIN AND COMPASSION OF A PISSANT.
Re: JuneGordon – lusciousliz is right…YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW GOD IF THAT is what your peabrain thinks. You have NO understanding of THIS WORLD and WHO is in charge of it. From God POV she is with him now and in a better place. If you can't say something nice to Jennifer, KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT.
What a sad and horrible story. This has to be a nightmare for Jennifer and my thoughts and concerns are with her and her family. She seems like such a good, hard-working and honest and very talented young lady. I am sure her sister, other relatives and fiance will help her through this awful time. I hope the scumbag murderer is locked up forever where he belongs and rots in hell.
JENNIFER - honey, what a HORRIBLE, horrible thing to happen to someone who has had such happy times and talent that has taken you places (AND STILL WILL!! DON'T GIVE UP). Im am beyond words…as to how sorry I am and that just doent cut it. Your mother and I are the same age. Im sorry for the totally wrong taking of her life and your brothers. I only pray you little cousin is ok and found soon. This will be a hard time, but its obvious you are a strong woman. You never get over losing them, but you DO learn to go on & the pain isnt ALWAYS this bad…I wish you the best and you are in my PRAYERS. God Bless, honey. We all lose our loved ones, but not as often all at once. I wish there was something I could do for you. I know there isnt. To mom and brother, GOOD JOURNEY.
I thought iit was fake at first….. so sad.
WHY ISN'T AN "AMBER ALERT" IN EFFECT FO THE MISSING BOY??????
"
This really horrible i'm so sorry that really dsad how that happened especially to your mother and brother. Be Strong Jennifer.
Sincerely,
I Tell Like It Is
Damn WTF! What a shock.

Re: puppytoes1 – thanks for the post
I first heard the news last night on channel 9. I was SO shocked that i didn't even believe it!!! I hope they find the child soon, my prayers go out to Jennifer.
R.I.P. Darnell and Jason, i hope whoever committed this horrendous crime is brought to justice!
I am honestly so sorry for her… there's nothing that can be said or done to make her pain go away…. how can someone do something like that?
Oh my gosh that's so terrible. She and her family will be in my prayers.
Re: Miss Lo – The Rev. Willie Davis, pastor of the Progressive Baptist Church, where Ms. Hudson and her family were members, said that despite her daughter’s celebrity, Ms. Donerson chose to stay and live on the South Side, WLS reported….THAT'S WHY
the comments say she's drawn on and that its under 50 cent
so i think you changed it.
thanks :\
and oh. my. fwojiwfijfwoijeowf.
that is HORRIBLE.
FIND THAT GOSH DARN BOY NOW, PEREZ

Way to release the actual address, Perez. As if the house isn't already going to be swormed with paparazzi. Now the whole fucking world can show up. You're steadily losing points. You're going to force me to go back to Pink Is The New Blog.
God be with you Jennifer, in these very hard moments. Our thoughts and prayers with you. I hope your nephew is still alive. Much love.
Now perez why did you have to get the fat old pic of her you can be so mean sometimes but i love you.
You're in my prayers Jennifer.
