The mother and brother of the Academy Award-winning actress JENNIFER HUDSON were found shot to death inside her mother’s house on the South Side of Chicago on Friday afternoon, and the police were said to be looking for her 7-year-old nephew.
Jennifer Hudson's mother was one of two victims shot and killed in Chicago earlier today. A neighbor tells the other victim was Jennifer's brother Jason. A cousin who lived nearby discovered the bodies. Two bodies were found dead on the scene at 2:44 PM. When the fire department arrived and discovered the bodies, police were brought in and the home was declared a crime scene.
An all points bulletin has been issued for a boy, believed to be Hudson's 7-year-old nephew (bottom right), who may have been taken from the scene. Police are looking for 1994 white Suburban with the license plate X584859. Police are looking for William Balfour (bottom left), who they claim could be with the missing 7-year-old. According to records, Balfour listed Hudson's mother's address as a place of residence within the last year. According to the Illinois Department of Corrections website, Balfour is currently on parole after serving jail time for attempted murder.
Lost in all this is Jennifer's sister Julia, mother of the missing 7-year-old. We're told she works as a bus driver in Chicago. Her employer told she worked her shift today. She hasn't been seen since.

A WBBM reporter is saying that neighbors have said a family member in the Hudson household apparently tried to steal a car a few weeks ago, an argument ensued, and he guaranteed revenge. A photo on Julia's MySpace page (bottom) posted prior to today's events alludes to some kind of dispute with William over a car.
UPDATED: 11:26 PM ET: The suspect, William Balfour, has been taken into custody. Hudson's nephew, 7-year-old Julian King is still missing, according to WFLD-Chicago.Balfour is refusing to cooperate with cops or supply info.
