The actress we’ve grown to love from Dreamgirls and also appearing with our beloved Carrie Bradshaw on Sex and the City is making headlines left and right recently; but it isn’t her acting that is getting her featured in newspapers across the country, it is a scandal involving the murder of both her mother and her brother.
Sustaining fatal gunshot wounds, Jennifer Hudson’s mother and brother were found killed in her Chicago home on Friday. Police spokeswoman Monique Bond said the deaths appeared to be the result of domestic abuse, the Associated Press reported, and an active Amber Alert has been issues for the 7 year old cousin of Hudson’s, Julian King.
According to the Chicago Sun-Times, William Balfour, a suspect in the murders was taken into police custody on Friday. Balfour, said to be the estranged husband of Jennifer’s sister, Julia, remains in custody today and the missing child Julian King, his step-son and Jennifer’s nephew, was not found with him. Police issued an alert on Friday looking for a 1994 white Chevrolet Suburban, which is said to be registered to Jason Hudson, Jennifer’s brother; as of Saturday afternoon, police are reportedly continuing the search for it.

In American, i always hear this word “murder”, even though involed superstar, why? For money, for fame, we should be consider it. Meanwhile, the government should be restrain the firearms strictly.

Hi, when I first heard about this, I was sad for Jennifer. What a horrible story.
I’m glad they have someone in custody, and if found guilty, I pray they get the maximum sentence.
Our society has become very unstable and it not only scares me, but I’m very concerned about my child’s future as well.
