E! Online – Jennifer Hudson's Mom Found Shot to Death(E! Online) Los Angeles (E! Online) – A nightmare for this Dreamgirl.
Sources confirm to E! News that Jennifer Hudson's mother, 57-year-old Darnell Donerson, was found dead Friday afternoon in a house on the South Side of Chicago that is listed in Donerson's name.
Officer John Mirabelli of the Chicago Police Department tells E! that officers were called to a house in the 7000 block of Yale Avenue in the neighborhood of Englewood, where just before 3 p.m. they discovered two unresponsive adults—one male, one female—who had apparently been shot to death.
The shooting is at this time believed to be domestic, according to police. Various reports are claiming that the other victim was Hudson's older brother, Jason Hudson.
A 7-year-old boy named Julian King has also been reported missing, but authorities aren't confirming whether he's a relative of Jennifer Hudson.
Per the Chicago Tribune, police are looking for a white 1994 Chevrolet Suburban registered to Jason Hudson with Illinois license plate No. X584859. They say the boy could be inside and an Amber Alert has been issued.
A rep for the Cook County Medical Examiner told E! that the female victim was shot in the head, while a 29-year-old man sustained a gunshot wound to the chest.
Mirabelli could not confirm the victims' identities, but a source close to Jennifer Hudson confirmed that an initial local-TV report identifying Donerson as a victim, based on information provided by a representative of the family's church, Pleasant Gift Missionary Baptist, was true.
A large crowd had gathered outside the home, where police tape was blocking all comers from getting too close. According to the Cook County Assessor's Office, Donerson purchased the 1,910-square-foot house in 1996.
E! has learned that Jennifer Hudson was in Florida when she heard the news and is currently en route to Chicago. In happier times, she had been planning to go to Japan Monday to promote her new album, but that trip has been canceled.
The Secret Life of Bees star had also been set to appear next week at the Hollywood Awards to help collect an ensemble cast honor.
"Everyone at Fox Searchlight and Twentieth Century Fox wishes to extend our deepest condolences to Jennifer and her family," the Bees studio said in a statement Friday evening. "Our thoughts are with them in this time of profound sadness."
"My faith in God and my family, they're very realistic and very normal, they're not into the whole limelight kind of thing, so when I go home to Chicago that's just another place that's home," Hudson, who got engaged last month to boyfriend David Otunga, said in a recent interview with the Associated Press.
"I stand in line with everybody else, or, when I go home to my mom I'm just Jennifer, [so her mother tells her], 'You get up and you take care of your own stuff.' And I love that; I don't like when people tell you everything you want to hear—I want to hear the truth, you know what I mean?"
The Oscar winner purchased a posh condo on Chicago's North Side in 2006 for $537,500. Her digs were featured on the Sept. 28 season premiere of Extreme Makeover: Home Edition when she offered decorating advice for a young girl's new bedroom.

I'm sorry to say that there's a tragic end to this story. Julian King was found today, in the vehicle that police had been searching for. Like his grandmother and uncle, he'd been shot to death. You'd have to be one sick bastard to shoot anyone, let alone a seven-year-old boy. I'm sorry things turned out this way. I don't usually have much sympathy for celebs, but Jennifer Hudson lost three members of her family in one fell swoop, and that's terrible.

agree with the last post. what a low life, fuckin animal! to do that to a inocent child! and to two unsuspecting adults, all because they have someone famous in their family, if they were related to her. that's so beyond fucked up!

They should kill the son of a bitch slowly! Sick, just sick.

I'm not sure that all this happened just because Jennifer Hudson is famous. Police suspect the boy's stepfather of doing it, but they haven't charged him. The stepfather has already served prison time for attempted murder, but was on parole, so it does seem likely.

I learned of Julian's death yesterday morning on the Amber alert website. When I saw the whole story brought together on Inside Edition, I was very near tears. This is the first time that I've posted an Amber alert that has ended in tragedy.

i hope the person who did this gets a long stretch in jail. depends on the state as to whether they get the death penalty though.

## Post 14 by maroon five (I'm going for the prolific poster awards!) on Tuesday, 28-Oct-2008 17:25:39

nah, forget jail! god! it makes me so sick and sad at the same time to kno that this happened to an inocent child. i saw the story on inside adition as well, and my heart just sank. like someone else said, this animal! cause that's what this person is, should be killed slowly and painfully. i don't care how heartless this sounds right now, and i have the deepest of simpathy to the family, cause they just lost 3 people in one go, thanks to this low life son of a bitch!

My God. What do you say to something like this? This is such a heartless and selfish thing to do. People seriously astonish me. This is incredibly sick, and so very sad. Have they released any kind of motive?

## Post 16 by Click_Clash (No Average Angel) on Wednesday, 29-Oct-2008 18:59:02

They think that the murders were because of a family dispute over car payments. Fucking car payments!!!

## Post 17 by maroon five (I'm going for the prolific poster awards!) on Wednesday, 29-Oct-2008 19:38:17

omg that's fuckin sick! shooting 3 people cause of a car payment? so what if it doesn't get paid on time, or it gets taken away. it's just a damb car! not a good reason to shoot people over.
