FBI confirms body is that of Jennifer Hudson’s nephew, Julian King


I am unable to write this without crying. An FBI official has confirmed that the body of a young boy found in Jason Hudson’s stolen SUV, is Jennifer Hudson’s nephew, 7-year old Julian King. The boy was shot multiple times, with at least one gunshot wound to the head. Jennifer, who had to officially identify the bodies of her mother and brother, has now had to officially identify the body of her nephew.

On Monday, a top FBI official said the body of a young boy found inside an SUV is indeed Hudson’s 7-year-old nephew, Julian King. According to TMZ, the Oscar winning actress is on her way to the medical examiner’s office to identify the body.

Chicago police said the body of a black male child was found shortly after 7 a.m. in the rear seat of an SUV. An autopsy was planned for Tuesday.

TMZ reports the body was inside a 1994 white Chevy Suburban, the same SUV owned by Jennifer’s murdered brother which was reported missing after he and Jennifer’s mother were shot dead last Friday.

Earlier today, FBI Deputy Director John Pistole said the body is “believed to be” Julian, according to reports.

The tragedy of this is more than words can do justice. As has been said many times, the Hudson family was very close, Jennifer saying many times how close she was to both her mother and her nephew. And Julia, Jennifer’s sister, has lost her son, and it looks to be at the hands of her estranged husband. No blame should placed at this time for poor choices, she was trying to rectify her choices by getting the man out of her life. She is paying so dearly for it, now.

My heart and so much more goes out to the Julia, Jennifer and the rest of the Hudson family.

    ….
    I don’t even have any idle commentary.. this is literally too sad for words. I can’t imagine what it might feel like to have multiple extremely close family deaths in such a small time. In a week, her whole family is gone. This is too sad.. My thoughts go out to the remaining family of this tragedy.

    This is just so incredibly sad and senseless. My thoughts and prayers are with the entire Hudson family.

    I sincerely hope that whoever committed these horrific crimes is brought to justice. and the family can find some form of closure from that.

    How devestating.

    Railing against the insanity of the man who killed this child and the other members of the family won’t change the horrific end… Every time I read about this, I just become numb with shock.

    My thoughts, prayers, and deepest sympathy are with the family.

    Wow… just wow. That’s incredibly sad. an innocent life snuffed out because of anger and greed.

  6. Syko says:

    I can’t imagine how anyone can kill another person, but killing a child just isn’t even to be thought about. I’m so sorry for Jennifer going through all this and suffering such a loss.

    My heart and DEEPEST SYMPATHY goes out to the Julia, Jennifer and the rest of the Hudson family.

    I want this to be over- & whoever committed this awful crime is brought to justice & put under the jail and this bea form of closure. May god bless the King Family as well. 😥

    I haven’t heard the news since yesterday and compounding the sadness of hearing about the dead child, my heart goes out to the Hudson family that they’ve lost three generations seemingly due to the madness/irrational hatred/just plain nastiness of one man – time and hopefully the courts will be able to figure all that out.

    Famous or “ordinary”, rich or poor, black or white, latino or asian, it doesn’t matter, this is a heartbreaking human tragedy – I hope the Hudson and King families individually (and hopefully eventually together) find the strength to cope with this.

    I wish he had killed himself before taking away the lives of innocent people.

    I hope he fries in the electric chair!
