Amber Alert Issued for Child Missing From Home

An Amber Alert remains in effect for Hudson's 7-year-old nephew, Julian King. King is black and has brown eyes and black hair. He is 5 feet tall and weighs 135 pounds. [PHOTO]

Earlier in the day, police said they suspected that King was with Balfour in a white Chevy Suburban with license plate: X58-4859 or a teal or green Chrysler Concord with a temporary license plate, a left headlight hanging out and scratches on the left side of the vehicle.

Public records indicate the Suburban is registered to Jason Hudson and the home where the slayings occurred as one of Balfour's previous addresses.

Court records show Balfour pleaded guilty in 1999 to attempted murder and vehicular hijacking. He also was convicted in a 1998 case of possession of a stolen motor vehicle, the records show.

I pray that the little boy is returned home unharmed.pray

They are reporting that the little boy is 5 feet tall and ways 135 lbs. He's only 7 years old. I can't imagine a 7 yr old being that big and tall.

This is so sad. This has really been on my mind all night, I can't imagine what Jennifer is going through. They say that not only is the little boy missing, but so is her sister, Julia, the suspect's estranged wife. This should be a lesson learned to all of those women that "want a soldier." It's not cool putting your family in harm's way just because you settled for a thug in your life. I pray to God that Jennifer's nephew and sister return safe and unharmed.

Wait he pleaded guilty to a 1999 attempted and hes out? What does an attempt to murder someoene get you nowadays 5 minutes in jail? If you file bankruptcy its on your record and you cant get a loan for at least 7-10 years, but if you plead guilty to murder youre out and about.

I was checking out his MySpace of the suspect that was posted in here and went to Julia's but when I went to hers it said last login today? Maybe someone else logged in on her MySpace? I felt weird checking them out though. EDIT: It also appeared that "she" changed her mood to "numb" (or something similar cuz its in dutch for me) and also accepted a friend's request.

I just saw some coverage on CNN about this and there sounds like there's a lot of open ends here. They were referring to the husband as a 'person of interest' when I thought he was a suspect unless that's the tactic the police are using. The FBI has also been called in to possibly deal with the fact that the child may have been taken across state lines altho there's no evidence of that yet. The whole thing is just disturbing.

theres alot they still dont know, they have mentioned everything from a "gang tie" to a falling out between the husband and the family (mother and brother) and him just going crazy and murdering them and taking off. Actually the police have to say "person of interest" and not say "suspect" beccause they can be sued for liable if the person isnt involved at all

The body of Jennifer Hudson’s mother Darnell Donerson was found by Jennifer Hudson’s sister Julia around 2:45 PM yesterday. Julia called 911 to report the shooting. She also reported her 7-year-old son missing. Police arriving on the scene found Hudson’s brother Jason shot to death in a bedroom. An Amber Alert issued for little Julian King is still in effect. Anyone who has seen a white Chevy Suburban with Illinois license plate X584859 is asked to call Chicago police immediately.The suspect in the slayings of actress Jennifer Hudson’s mother and brother is now in custody.

Police arrested William Balfour, 27, last night in Chicago. Balfour’s mother, Michelle, said her son had been married to Hudson’s sister, Julia, 29, for several years, but they were separated. She also said Donerson had ordered him to move out of the family’s home last winter.

A relative found the body of Darnell Donerson, 57, lying on her living room floor around 2:45 PM yesterday. Police arriving on the scene found the body of Jason Hudson, 27, in a bedroom of the home he shared with his mother. Both victims had been shot multiple times. The front door was unlocked.

Police made several arrests last night but no one has been charged in the case according to law enforcement sources who spoke to the Chicago Tribune and Chicago Sun-Times. Police spokeswoman Monique Bond said investigators were talking to “a number of people in custody” but she declined to elaborate.

The whereabouts of Julia Hudson’s 7-year-old son, Julian King, is still unknown. An Amber Alert was issued for Julian yesterday. The boy was initially thought to be Balfour’s son, but Balfour was incarcerated during the time Julian was conceived.

Balfour was convicted and sentenced to 7 years in prison for attempted murder and car jacking in 1999. He was paroled in 2006. Julian was born in 2001.

Published reports indicated William may have stolen Julia’s car in recent weeks and was barred from the family home as a result. In a caption posted under a photo of her brother Jason, Julia noted that Jason was picking her up from her job where she worked as a school bus driver because, “William bitch ass sold my car.”

Paul Ciliano, a former Chicago police officer and CBS News consultant, said the Englewood neighborhood where the crimes were committed is “probably the toughest neighborhood in the city of Chicago.

“This is notoriously violent area, the most shootings and car hijackings and tough-and-rumble place on the South Side of Chicago,” he told Early Show anchor Priya David.

Members at the church where the tight-knit family worshiped said Jennifer Hudson offered to move her mother out of the area, but Donnerson refused to leave.

“These are such difficult times,” said the family’s pastor, Rev. Willie R. Davis, of the Progressive Baptist Church. “To lose a mother and a brother at one time — and then to lose them under these circumstances would be difficult for anyone. We just have to wait until the opportunity permits that we can sit down with them and have prayer. Jennifer is a very strong lady. She is deep-rooted in her faith. We know that through it all, she will get through.”

CBS News correspondent Cynthia Bowers reports that Hudson returned to Chicago last night after news of the deaths. But her sister Julia was still accepting friend requests on her Myspace page as recently as this morning. She is said to be “numb”.

Hudson recently announced her engagement to David Otunga, best known for his stint on VH1’s reality show “I Love New York.”

The star is asking for privacy in her time of grief. Her Web site jenniferhudsononline.com is already filled with condolence notes.

Originally, Sandra had stated Jennifer's sister, Julia, was also missing. I see that has changed.

Well, she got their ages wrong. Julia is 31, Jason was 29, and Jennifer is 27. They also have other siblings on their father's side

I wonder if Julian ran away during the shooting and is hiding somewhere

I don't understand what attracts women to thugs. Looking at the guy, he seems dangerous. I know you're not supposed to judge people by the way they look, but sometimes you have to look at the signs. Maybe she loved the attention he gave her and wasn't getting it from anyone else. Being a single mother is tough
Under certain circumstances, urgent circumstances, desperate circumstances, profanity provides a relief denied even to prayer.

The police are being very careful because of the last incident not too long ago where they arrested a guy for shooting and killing two police officers and said he was guilty, and he wasn't the guy. Now he's suing the city. They're' being very careful.

CHICAGO, Illinois (CNN) -- The sister of Oscar-winning actress Jennifer Hudson made an emotional appeal Saturday for the safe return of her 7-year-old son, who disappeared after a double shooting Friday on Chicago's South Side.

Authorities reportedly are questioning William Balfour in connection with the shooting deaths.
"All I ask, I don't care who you are, just let my baby go, please," Julia Balfour, Hudson's sister, said at a news conference Saturday night. "I just want my son."

Hudson's mother, Darnell Donerson, and brother, Jason Hudson, were shot to death Friday in their home. The child, Julian King, has been missing since.

Hudson was said to be in Chicago on Saturday night but did not attend the news conference. The missing child's father, Greg King, attended but did not speak publicly.

Earlier Saturday, Julia Balfour's mother-in-law said that police had questioned her son, William Balfour, in the slayings.

Michele Davis-Balfour insisted that her son had nothing to do with the shootings and urged the public to focus on finding the missing boy.

"Out of no means did my son do this. This heinous crime to this family is unbelievable. It's unbearable," Davis-Balfour told CNN affiliate WLS.

"Whoever has Jennifer Hudson's nephew or Julia Balfour's son, please, I'm begging you, me and my family are begging you to return that son." Watch Davis-Balfour's emotional appeal »

Police issued an Amber Alert for Julian and asked residents to look out for a 1994 white Chevrolet Suburban with Illinois license plate X584859.

Julian is described as being 4 feet, 11 inches tall and weighing 130 pounds. He was wearing a striped brown polo shirt and khaki pants when last seen, authorities said in the Amber Alert.

CLTV: Killings shatter actress' Chicago sanctuary
WLS reported late Friday that a suspect, whom it now identifies as William Balfour, was in custody but that the boy was not with him when he was detained.

Chicago police spokesman Daniel O'Brien would not comment on whether a William Balfour was in custody or whether police had questioned a man by that name.

"Police have and continue to speak with numerous" people, O'Brien said. He said no charges had been filed against anyone in connection with the murders. Watch the police news conference »

William Balfour says on his MySpace page that he is married to Jennifer Hudson's sister Julia and has a stepson.

"I might as well let you all know that Jennifer Hudson is my wife's sister I'm proud of her and wish her nothing but the best in what she do," he wrote.

According to the Illinois Department of Corrections, Balfour, 27, is on parole. He spent nearly seven years in prison for attempted murder, vehicular hijacking and possessing a stolen vehicle.

His MySpace page also says he lives on Chicago's South Side.

Deputy Police Chief Joseph Patterson said the bodies were found about 3 p.m. Friday (4 p.m. ET), when a relative arrived and found the body of a woman on the living room floor. The relative backed out of the house and called police, Patterson said. Authorities found a man shot to death in a bedroom.

The Cook County Medical Examiner's Office said Saturday that Donerson and Jason Hudson suffered multiple gunshot wounds and ruled the deaths homicides.

The FBI is working with Chicago police to find Julian, Chicago Police Superintendent Jody Weis said. There is no evidence that the boy has been taken across state lines, which would make the abduction a federal offense. The action is being taken as a precaution because it would be possible to cross state lines in the amount of time the boy has been missing, he said.

Neighbors reported hearing gunshots earlier Friday, Patterson said. Authorities found no signs of forced entry to the home and were not sure whether other items were missing. Watch the scene outside the house »


"You've got two people who were killed inside a home. That alone will produce a great deal of evidence," Weis said of forensic evidence at the crime scene.

Hudson won a Best Supporting Actress Oscar for her portrayal of Effie in the film version of the Broadway musical "Dreamgirls." She competed on the third season of "American Idol" in 2004, making it to the top seven contestants before being eliminated from the contest

Julia Hudson, 31, asked that the public look for her son, saying he answers to the nicknames Juice Box and Dr. King. She added that her famous sister was in Chicago on Saturday, a day after she called her in hysterics.

Jennifer Hudson's fiance, who answered the phone, couldn't understand Julia Hudson and handed the phone to Jennifer.

"Despite her being who she is, she is still my sister," Julia Hudson said. "She understood what I was saying. She was screaming.

"She flew in right away, and we've been together since. We're all still in a state of shock. I don't know nothing else to do but pray."

Under certain circumstances, urgent circumstances, desperate circumstances, profanity provides a relief denied even to prayer.

No...I drove by the District 2 police station today on S Wentworth and there were FoxNews/Channel 7/WGN news vans just parked outside waiting for any news. I take it Mr. Balfour is still there. A friend of mine told me he saw Jennifer Hudson there last night.

I don't understand how no one knows where the little boy is. I'd be insane if that were my child. I'd be out driving all over Chicago.

I know right, I hate to say it but, after 48 hours has passed, you have to start preparing yourself for the worse. Though there still maybe a chance he hasn't been harmed, but you have to factor in the worst that probably has happened.
I will forever love and miss you...my sweet Prince.

I just saw them talking to a neigbor of the victims, and he said that the stepfather said "if you keep messing with me, im going to kidnap the child". Ok so now you have someone that has confessed to "attempted murder" had other felony convictions and now threatened to kidnap a child and no one even alerted Police to this.
