Jennifer Hudson's Mother And Brother Brutally Murdered And Nephew Kidnapped

OSCAR winner Jennifer Hudson was “overwhelmed with grief” yesterday after the murders of her mother and brother and the kidnapping of her seven-year-old nephew.

The Dreamgirls actress flew home to Chicago from Florida with her new fiancé as police questioned her former brother-in-law over the double killing and abduction.


Jennifer’s mother (at left with Jennifer) Darnell Donerson, 57, and her brother Jason Hudson, 29, were gunned down in the family home in Englewood, on the city’s crime-ridden South Side. Jennifer’s nephew, Julian King, is still missing last night as police mounted a huge search.

Words cannot describe my frustration with people that would commit such a crime. It's absolutely outrageous. This is a horrible story and my prayers go out to the Hudson family. I do hope J. Hud's nephew is found safe and sound as soon as possible.
