MSNBC is reporting:
CHICAGO - Police searching for Jennifer Hudson’s missing 7-year-old nephew found the body of a young black boy in an SUV Monday. There was no confirmation on the identity of the body.
Hudson’s nephew, Julian King, hasn’t been seen since Friday, when Hudson’s mother and brother were found shot to death in their home. Police issued an Amber Alert for Julian, who lived in the home, and were looking for a 1994 white Chevrolet Suburban.
The Cook County Medical Examiner’s office and Chicago Police Department sent officials to the scene of a white SUV on the city’s West Side Monday. Police refused to comment.
As was diaried by qotsa73, Tragedy in Jennifer Hudson's family - Barack reaches out, the mother and brother of Jennifer Hudson were murdered, and her 7 year old nephew was missing.
MSNBC and NBC are reporting that the body of a young boy was found on Chicago's West Side this morning.
They have not identified the body yet, but have confirmed that it is the body of a young black male, and that the white SUV in which it was found IS in fact the one they have been looking for.
Thoughts and prayers are in order for the Hudson family.
Tamryn Hall on MSNBC remembers interviewing Jennifer in her American Idol run, and asked her what she missed most about not being home, Jennifer told her that she missed her nephew most.
This is so sad for Jennifer, and her family.
UPDATE: For those insensitive asses individuals wondering what the relevance is to this site, aside from the human tragedy, the domestic violence that many here campaign against, etc, Jennifer Hudson was selected by Barack Obama to sing the National Athem at the Democratic National Convention.
UPDATE X2: Also, as Pager pointed out, October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month and if this isn't a good reason to contemplate that, I don't know what is.
So, there's your connection as to why this is not a facebook comment, but a story that affects many of us.
