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 police spokeswoman told the Tribune that the female victim was shot in the head, while a 29-year-old man sustained a gunshot wound to the chest. 
I hope they find the boy alive.  "Let love be your perfect weapon..." ~~Andy Biersack | |

That's Chicago. | |

Stymie said: funkpill said: to be honest....its nothing new too That's what the papers are saying... WLS reported that neighbors told the police they heard shots fired on Friday morning. But it was not until Friday afternoon that a family member found Ms. Donerson in the living room and left the house to call the police, the television station reported. The police said that there was no sign of forced entry. The Rev. Willie Davis, pastor of the Progressive Baptist Church, where Ms. Hudson and her family were members, said that despite her daughter’s celebrity, Ms. Donerson chose to stay and live on the South Side, WLS reported.
“That says a lot about the fact of the kind of family Jennifer comes from,” Mr. Davis was quoted as saying. “They’re a family of faith. They want to be attached to their roots.” "Let love be your perfect weapon..." ~~Andy Biersack | |

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. Ciliano said the first priority of the police right now is locating the missing boy. "That's their focus. They have the suspect, the number one suspect (and only suspect as far as I know) in custody, so right now all their efforts are going towards finding and locating this child and getting him home safely." He said police are likely questioning Balfour's acquaintances. "I'm sure they have gotten his cell phone and know everybody he has talked to or texted the last 28 to 48 hours." Records from the Illinois Department of Corrections show Balfour, 27, is on parole and spent nearly seven years in prison for attempted murder, vehicular hijacking and possessing a stolen vehicle. Public records show one of Balfour's addresses as the home where Donerson and Jason Hudson were shot. Police say Balfour took Donerson's 7-year-old grandson Julian King with him when he fled. Balfour's mother, Michelle, said her son had been married to Hudson's sister, Julia, for several years, but they were separated. She also said Donerson had ordered him to move out of the family's home last winter. The Cook County medical examiner's office said autopsies for Donerson and Jason Hudson were pending. The boy, who may have witnessed the murders, has not been found. ===== The star is asking for privacy in her time of grief, but her Web site jenniferhudsononline.com is already filled with condolence notes and given how beloved she is by this city, privacy may be hard to come by. The high profile nature of these killings may focus more attention on [Chicago's out-of-control murder rate - 426 murders so far this year - currently outpacing those of New York and Los Angeles. http://www.cbsnews.com/st...tpop_story "Let love be your perfect weapon..." ~~Andy Biersack | |
