Body ID'd
Filed under: Jennifer HudsonThe FBI has now confirmed that the dead body discovered in the missing white SUV on Monday is indeed that of Jennifer Hudson's 7-year-old nephew, Julian.
We pray that Jennifer, her sister and their entire family are given the strength they need right now.
It's all just so unimaginable.
Stay strong!

I feel SO horrible for Julia and her family.
They should let a pack of Michael Vick's dogs loose on that guy, MONSTER.
Que feo…I have an 8 year old whose name is Julian too, I cannot even begin to imagine the pain. My thoughts and prayers are with Jen and her sister who now must bury their mom, brother and son….I hope they find the bastard that did this to them….S~
That is really shocking.. I actually had hope that he would be okay
What the hell is going on out there.
A dispute over a fucking car is turned into a triple homicide involving a 7 year old innocent boy?
I just don't get what the hell posseses someone to do this evil shit.
Do they have the death penalty in Illinois?
I sure do hope so and I hope they fry the freak who did this.
ugh
lame
My thoughts and prayers are with you Jennifer I'm so sorry this happened to these poor people
Re: caren – thank you…
Re: scooterrific – actually scooter the chicago tribune confirmed it at 3:35 . . . facts are in.
this is so fucked up!
Re: KatieGhurl – huh? Palin in 2012? what are you talking about?
A strong woman works out every day, Pride in her appearance she portrays, But a woman of strength kneels to pray,
Keeping her soul in shape, God leading the way. A strong woman isn't afraid of anything, Looking forward to challenges each day will bring, Women of strength show courage in the midst of fear, Knowing triumph through faith because the Lord is near.
its horrible, stay strong
SO WHO GETS THE 100K FOR FINDING THE KID?
violence is terrible let alone to a child. r.i.p. what a tragedy.
Makes you just want to adopt the survivors and wrap them in all kinds of love. I can't imagine this holiday season for Jennifer or Julia. It's going to be terrible.
Good Lord, this is beyond heartbreaking.
It's mind-boggling. Who kills a 7 year-old after shooting his loving grandma and uncle? Pure evil.
Yet another major black American celebrity suffers horrific tragedy & violence either to themself or on a close family member. It's almost like the greater they are, the greater the "curse". The list is long:
Bill Cosby, Michael Jordan, Aretha Franklin, Sam Cooke, Marvin Gaye, Al Green, Zapp [Roger], the Williams sisters, Luther Vandross, Curtis Mayfield, Merlin Santana ["Romeo" on Steve Harvey show], Sean Taylor… Oh, so sad.
Words fail. God will have no mercy on the soul of the perpetrator. Hope there is still a death penalty in Illinois.
Jennifer and her family continue to be in my prayers. This is absolutely horrific. I was so hoping that the little boy would be found safe. I hope that Jennifer, her sister and the rest of the family will find strength in each other to get through this horrific time!
Re Lucy Lou's Mom you are correct, however, the article he is linking us to does not state that. I saw it on yahoo AFTER he posted this….
This is just so, so sad…..such a tragedy….my thoughts and prayers are with the Hudson Family….
unimaginable anguish
what about the other kids/people killed in Chicago during this time? Anyone weeping over them? Give me a break people…stop getting caught up in the hoopla. This is an everyday occurance in that place.
This is SO tragic. My thoughts and prayers are with Hudsons, I'm so sorry for their losses.
It is unbelievably horrible that these kinds of things happen. My prayers are with her and her family through this tough time. I really hope they catch the person (people) responsible for these senseless acts.
This just keeps getting worse and worse… I hope this sicko pays for what he has done… an eye for an eye…
r.i.p Julian… I was really hoping this wouldn't have been the outcome…as I'm sure everyone else was hoping.
deepest condolences to Jennifer and her family…
your in my thoughts and prayers up here in Canada, stay strong!
This really is like the one of the saddest things ever. Why in the hell would someone do that? It just shows how hateful people can get!
My prayers are with them!!!
my thoughts and prayers go out to the hudson family. R.I.P. little man
Re: KatieGhurl – I am not a violent person, but a comment like yours brings out the worst in me. I think you are a member of the Manson family, while decent people, No ? Get lost, leave the country if you don't like it, shut up. I hate you.
Re: KatieGhurl – I am not a violent person but people like you bring out the worst in me. You must be a member of the Manson family, white decent people. If you don't like living in your country, then get lost, go away, shut up. I hate you.
There are no words to describe how his Mom and Jennifer must feel right now. Numb to the core I am sure. Any shred of hope they held has been ripped away. Sadly the only comfort right now is the peace of knowing where precious Julian is rather than that unscupolous scumster who undoubtly will rot in jail thought he could get away - God I hope there is a death sentenace in that state. I'll need a few days myself to digest this unspeakable insane horrid event. Some times God can't be everywhere but there is Hell and one day that Bastard will pay.
R.I.P. little Julian. So young.
Truely heartbreaking.
This is when I wonder how anyone can be anti death penalty? The person who did this doesn't deserve to live. In my opinion the victims family should choose how this a$$hole dies!
that is terrible, i hope the person responsible gets what they deserve
Every thought and prayer in my heart and soul goes to this family right now-
Horrible, I pray for Jennifer and her family.
So sad and this shit happens every day. Some times I think I must be an alien.
Love to you Jen- we will pray for your family.
Gee, Perez is a friggin' psychic. CNN has an announcement of the confirmation at 7:42pm eastern, and this dimwit called it four hours ago. Then again, he has a habit of pronouncing people dead before they are, doesn't he?
This is sooo sad…i can't believe after all that he's dead.i hope that man that did this gets locked up for life with some serious torture and even isolation.
my prayers are with u j and family.
R.I.P
There's an extremely special place in Hell for the man who killed this child, let alone Jen's mom & uncle. I want him to fry in the chair for this one. I know Julian's soul is looking down and helping catch the guy who did this to him.
My sympathy to Jennifer and the rest of her family . . .
The real problem here isn't that it is Jennifer Hudson's family, the problem is that Chicago is becoming a high murder rate city, which is sad because this place is truly gorgeous. Chicago has murders every day, people get shot there are drive by's in neighborhoods like mine that are the most expensive to live in, people are murdered and left in rest. bathrooms, it is really sad. It is really unfortunate that people are now looking at the fact that Chicago has a homicide problem because of Jennifer Hudson's tragedy. I can't imagine what will happen when the city loses 4,000 cops next year due to funding cuts. Even though this was a domestic homicide, this person deserves the death penalty when they find him, but that won't happen because Illinois does not allow the death penalty. Jennifer is a gorgeous person and it is so sad this had to happen to someone who worked hard to get out of the neighborhood she was from. CHICAGO IS WITH YOU 100% J!
Re: angbeep – THANK YOU! but people do not realize this because the chose to only care about celebrities rather than all those kids trying to make it on the streets and getting shot because they are in the wrong place at the wrong time.
this is awful news, be strong and know that everyone's prayers are with your family
ohh no!
i cant believe this horrible world sometimes. RIP julian. my prayers are def out there for the entire family
What the fuck is wrong with that guy? *shaking head* I really hope (against better knowledge) that this turns out to be a random act of violence and not a crime comitted by a family member.
I can not even fathom what would make a person kill somebody else in cold blood, noless a child who couldn't possibly be involved in the potential family drama that possibly led up to this nightmare.
Some fucking balls to kill women and children!
I am not a huge fan of the death sentence, I believe (perhaps dwelling in a blue cloud of naivety) that there's something seriously wrong with people who kill that go way beyond wrong and right and that these people should get treatment.
Perhaps if this guy had been sentenced to mental care the first time around he would still be in custody? This guy is sick! Perhaps he will beconvicted again but at this point that's not enough.
I piss on that guy for his actions but I also piss on the system we have who let killers back out on the street!
My thoughts are with her at this time. Goodspeed to those lost and jingles to her.
If I was religoius I would pray for her, I'm not so I pray for the people around her to step up and show their support.
I red a statement somewhere that said "I hope that people give her space". I hope that the media gives her space but I also hope that those close or even semi close to her have the guts to force themselves upon her at this time.
Backing away from people in need is often defended with "I didn't want to impose" IMO a person in need should be treated like seconds of a good cake plate. Good manners call that you reject it twice before you take it. In any case of grievance or hardship, offer yourself out sincerely at least three times before you back off!
Trust me, she will be thinking of them every day for the rest of her life, the fact that a friend or even distant associate neglects to bring them up will not ease the pain, rather the opposite.
I call upon those who ever had contact with her to not be shy but to make a call or send a card. It's so easy to just say a prayer on a distance but this is the right time for everyone who said they were a friend of hers when she was on a roll to step up and show it!
What a complete utter nightmare! I can't even imagine how devastating this is for her and her family, especially her sister! Whatever the reason, that child did not deserve to die! I hope and pray to God that they find the monster (s) that did this and have them executed!
Once again, this world shows us that there is too much evil in it. A 7 year old boy? This sickens me to my very core. My heart goes out to the Hudson family; they are in my prayers.
That is so terrible. It's situations like this that make you appreciate every waking moment you have with your loved ones because you never know when you won't be able to be with them. I hope she and her family stay strong and the people/person who did this will hopefully get what's coming to them.
So sad.
My kindest thoughts and prayers are with the Hudson family and those affected by this unnecessary tragedy! There is nothing we could ever want more than to have our loved ones near but, when they are unjustly taken from us, the only things we could ever do is stay strong and take things day by day and, to cherish every second of our loved ones company and time, because we never truly know if this will be the last time we are together. God Bless!
I cannot believe that people do this to others. Praying for the family and friends of the Hudson's. This just is not fair.
who ever did this is evil beyond words seriously a seven yr old……Jen my prayers are with you dear do not lose faith in yourself or god you are still a blessed woman and you can make it through this storm.
UNIMAGINABLE TRAGEDY & HORROR. MY HEART GOES OUT TO JENNIFER HUDSON AND MY PRAYERS ARE WITH HER. MAY ALL 3 DEPARTED SOULS REST IN PEACE ETERNALLY. THE MISERABLE BASKETCASE WHO DID THIS WILL ROT IN THIS LIFE AND ON AND AFTER JUDGEMENT DAY !!
This is just so so sad. I feel sorry for her and her family. Her nephew was a very cute little boy. Sad that his life was taken away just like that. Makes me feel so mad. May they rest in peace!
man, i can't believe that this all happened before jennifer's wedding day. this is not right…
Re: KatieGhurl – You should learn to keep your ignorant prejudicial comments to yourself. You aren't welcome here with comments like that, you nasty-ass piece of shit!!
GOD BLESS AND KEEP THIS FAMILY AND FRIENDS,,,I WAS SURE PRAYING HE WOULD BE ALRIGHT,,,,
I can not even imagine the pain that whole family is suffering through right now
Do not know any of these folk.Sad yes.Unusual.Nope.Sister's ex has a rap sheet as long as a a Wal- Mart taking till slip for a day. Why was she married to such a low life.? Domestic murders are tragic.
This is beyond sad, it's just sick. No punishment is to harsh for a person that can kill a 7 year old.
my prayers are with her family
This is so heartbreaking. The whole family is in my thoughts and prayers.
I cannot bear to imagine how terrifying Julian's last hours were. Hoping he's found peace an serenity in the next lifetime.
This is so sad i will be praying for the hudson family
Just to let people know, this was NOT over some car. It was a family dispute.
Re: KatieGhurl – Pain knows NO colour
Poor Jennifer!
I almost cried when i saw this on the news. R.I.P. Julian.
