From MTV

Police are investigating the deaths of two people they believe to be related to singer/actress Jennifer Hudson.
Chicago police confirmed to MTV News that investigators are at the scene at a residence on the South side of Chicago, where two people, a male and a female, suffered fatal gunshot wounds; the representative said police believe both victims to be related to Hudson. Officers received a call shortly before 3 p.m. Friday, and upon arriving found the two victims. The incident has been declared a double homicide.
The Chicago Tribune reported that according to public records, the home is owned by Darnell Donerson, Jennifer Hudson's mother. The paper also reported that Hudson is not injured, according to her bodyguard.
One of the victims was a woman in her 50s who was shot in the head and the other was a 29-year-old man who was shot in the chest, a spokesman for the Cook County medical examiner's office told the Tribune. Chicago police spokeswoman Monique Bond told the paper that at least one victim is "believed to be" a relative of Jennifer Hudson. The shooting was believed to be related to a domestic disturbance, Bond said, emphasizing that the information was preliminary.
TMZ reported that the female victim is Hudson's mother, and the male victim is Hudson's older brother Jason, a mechanic.
A representative for the city's medical examiner's office told MTV News that they have an investigator on the scene but have no identification or preliminary information.
The police source told the Tribune that the bodies of a man and woman were discovered by a family member about 3 p.m. in the home in the 7000 block of South Yale Avenue.
MTV news will have more on this story as the investigation continues.

OMG! That's horrible. Hope the find out who did this really quick and get their butts locked up.

That's really sad and messed up. People are soo crazy in the world today!

magicalturkey · 25 Oct 08 :: 16:21

Her ex-brother-in-law is in custody now as a suspect.

Seems like more sad news.

Hudson's 7 year old nephew was missing following the murders and now they are showing on the news a white Suburban that some sources are saying has the body of a young child in it.

Now at 8:48AM they are showing the Suburban being loaded onto a flatbed truck for further investigation.

Oh no. I hope that's not him.

Illinoisguy1 · 27 Oct 08 :: 15:54

WGN is reporting that the police is saying the body of a 7 year old boy is inside. But they haven't confirmed yet that it's the nephew yet. But it looks like it is based on the age.

Plus the SUV matches the vehicle that they were looking for in connection with the Amber Alert for the nephew.

Uh... and the news keep getting worse.. That family most be in agony...
I'm too empathic for this kind of news.. Of course a violent death is always a horrible thing but when it comes in doubles or more it makes ten times worse... And when children are involved... I always go into a little shock after news like this... Sorry to ramble again..

I hope Jennifer has people to comfort her...

On Entertainment Tonight, they confirmed it is her nephew

TheCentralScrutinizer · 28 Oct 08 :: 02:26

Yeah, this is just one of the saddest things I've heard in a while.

They did? Oh, no. I hope they'll find the people who did that.

TheCentralScrutinizer · 28 Oct 08 :: 15:54

They have a guy in custody who they're calling a "person of interest". He's related to the family but I forget how.

domesticelefant · 28 Oct 08 :: 15:56

But that's not the ex-brother-in-law, is it? Earlier on TV they said that he's not a suspect anymore.

TheCentralScrutinizer · 28 Oct 08 :: 16:05

I don't remember how he was related. Could be the same guy. My news is from last night, so things could've developed to the point where he's no longer a suspect by now.

magicalturkey · 28 Oct 08 :: 16:25

They said the guy they had was the little boy's stepfather and Jennifer's sister's estranged husband. So yeah, he is the ex-brother-in-law technically.

I KNOW, I can't believe Jennifer's mother, brother, and nephew! It's so horrible. Can't imagine what she and her family are going through.

Simon · 30 Oct 08 :: 02:09

What an absolutely horrible thing to do. It really struck me when i read the news. It's not nice to think of what Jennifer Hudson is going through.

TheCentralScrutinizer · 30 Oct 08 :: 02:53

No, it's really not, Simon. I find it really painful and I keep kind of fighting with myself not to think about it. It just shreds me when I do.
