Jennifer Hudson's Nephew Possibly Found Dead in Van

jkvan1008.jpgEarlier this morning the body of a boy believed to be 7-year-old Julian King, Jennifer Hudson's nephew, was found in a vehicle now being identified as the 1994 white Chevrolet Suburban that was tied with the shooting of Hudson's mother and brother last week. The Chicago Tribune has more details--and while an official ID hasn't been made, TMZ notes that the Amber Alert for King has been called off. This weekend Hudson had offered up a $100K reward for anyone finding the boy, but now it appears that he will be "the third member of her family killed since Friday." UPDATE: TMZ has it that Jennifer Hudson is on her way to/at the ME's office to ID the body. [Photo cred.]

This the most horrific thing I have read about in years.

Apparently this was over a fight about a car?

The person who did this has a special place in hell waiting for him.

*Groan.

It takes a sick mind to murder, and a really sick mind to murder helpless women and children.

Send this pile of dog sh!t to Guantanamo & let the torture squad work their magic

There are no words. To lose a mother, brother, and child at once -- it's sickening to even think about. I had every hope that the boy would be found alive. What a tragedy.

What goes on in somebody's mind to make this kind of thing happen? I'll never understand it.

This is very sad news. My condolences to the surviving family.

Well, we all know the old saying, what Comes around, goes around.

This guy will get his just desserts soon enough.

Now I understand why Jennifer Hudson is dating Punk from I love NY 2. he's an upgrade from this crap.

This is absolutely horrific! I was really, really hoping that the little boy would be found alive.

What's taking so long for Sarah Palin to blame Sen. Obama for this crime perpetuated on his constituents?

Longacre, please stop talking stupid trash.

I must ask why? why? why? would someone take the life of an innocent child?

Sadly, he was probably killed because he was a witness. It is just unspeakably sad. I was really hoping that they would find him safe and sound. The entire thing is a senseless tragedy, but to kill a 7 year old? Just beyond comprehension.

It's mind-boggling how many people are capable of murder. And over a simple disagreement or fight... to slaughter 3 people?

What's pathetic is they'll probably still find the killers, who went to this extreme of killing the little boy not to be caught. So it was for nothing, what a waste of his life.

Whoever did this was surely dangerously insane. How could nobody know who it is? Nutjobs in the family and friend network are usually pretty easy to spot.

Welcome to Obama's America.

#15 what in the world does this have to do with Obama? Are you getting your panties in a waist because Obama is going to win next week?

And I am for neither party as I don't believe in the LEFT-RIGHT PARADIGM (which is a total fraud).

Hugo, this tragedy has nothing to do with Obama or his supporters, but your comment tells us everything we need to know about you. Good luck with your sorry little life.

I know Illinois has a moratorium on the death penalty but this case and the perp who committed these despicable crimes has to bring it back. This is one of those that just feels like a crime against all of us.

Chicago - the murder capitol of US. More people get killed in 3M Chicago than in 8M NYC & their politically correct/inept police fail consistently at catching murderers.

Some parts of Chicago are so bad, USPS refuses to deliver mail there. And many of postal employees came from military. Real Obamaland.

Focus on the tragedy people- not everything is about Obama. What a senseless waste....When will we begin to look at ourselves and the society we've created that produces these madmen- I can't imagine the hurt, prayers and comfort to Hudson's family.
