Tragedy Strikes Hudson Family

Jennifer Hudson’s mother and brother were shot and killed in Chicago today. Both bodies were discovered by a cousin in the area.

Hudson’s seven-year-old nephew Julian King is missing.

Hudson is believed to be on her way to Chicago right now.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Hudson and her family at this most difficult time.


Update:
Hudson’s sister Julia held a press conference Saturday pleading for her son’s return.

Jennifer Hudson is offering a $100,000 reward for the return of her nephew.

Julia Hudson’s estranged husband was named as a suspect in the Amber Alert issued for Julian King. He is now in police custody, but no charges have been filed.

to Star…

You forget that, in the hood’, it ain’t cool to “snitch.” Even if an innocent child is involved, it’s perpetuated by most of our own famous speakers of the hood, that doin’ the right thing, is to do the wrong thing. BUT you do have street justice. And if they have some cousins or brothers, they will seek revenge. I know this for sure.

To the Hudson Family,

I’m praying for you all during this time of grief. Remember that God is always with you and no matter what happens, you HAVE to keep your head towards Heaven. I pray to God that Julian, Jason and Ms. Donderson are in Heaven looking down at you. Phil. 4:13 says “I can do ALL things through CHRIST who gives me strength.” Remember that verse as you go through each day. God didn’t give us Faith to make things easy, God gave us Faith to make things/situations/obstacles POSSIBLE. Use this situation to get closer to God and to trust in him with you heart, soul and mind. Our prayers are with you all the way from Michigan.

God Bless

~~Liz

To Lan- You just so damn ignorant! Even the streets have codes and he straight violated for killing the child. Shit even the worst of gangsters and mafia members have hearts, and more importantly CHILDREN. This wasn’t a damn hit! This was an action similar to one who hits-STRAIGHT JUNKIE MOVE!!! BELIEVE IT-THE STREETS ARE TALKING AND THE PRISONS ARE TALKING TOO! The brother-in-law is a dead man walking-whether he goes to prison or is released back on the streets!
