Singer Jennifer Hudson’s Nephew Found Dead

The singer’s Jennifer Hudson’s 7 year old nephew named Julian King was found dead in the back of a SUV on Monday. The SUV was found about 10 miles from the house where the other homicide victims were found. This ends a search for the child that began after Hudson’s mother and brother were found shot to death in their Chicago home on Friday. The boy has been found to have been shot to death. The medical examiner’s office has an autopsy planned for Tuesday. The motive for the recent killings is still unsure and the person who did it most likely was not a stranger to the family.

Police consider the case domestic-related and the main suspect is a man named William Balfour who is the stepfather of the child. He was taken into custody for questioning on Friday for the homicides and on Sunday he was transferred to the Illinois Department of Corrections for his parole violations. He had previously spent nearly seven years in prison for attempted murder, vehicular hijacking, and possessing a stolen vehicle.
