Jennifer Hudson’s Mother & Brother Found Slain, Nephew Missing
Our prayers go out to Oscar-winning actress Jennifer Hudson whose mother and brother were found slain in their home in South Side Chicago. Her 7-year-old nephew is still missing.
Jennifer Hudson is back home dealing with a tragedy. Hudson’s mother and brother were murdered Friday at their home on the city’s south side — and her nephew is still missing.
Hudson’s mother, Darnell Hudson Donerson, and brother Jason Hudson, were found shot to death in her mother’s Englewood home as police continue a massive search for Hudson’s missing nephew."There was no sign of forced entry," said Deputy Chief Joseph Patterson, Chicago Police Department. "We don’t know if anything was taken in the house."
What police do know is that William Balfour is a suspect. Balfour is Hudson’s brother-in-law. He was seized by police last night, but there was no sign of the Academy Award-winning actress’s nephew, 7-year-old Julian King. The five-foot tall, 135-pound child is the subject of an Amber alert. Source

Hello there!
This is is such a sad story…I feel so deeply for what Jennifer and the other family members must be going through.
I hope it is a wake up call for black people to stop minimizing mental illness among their relatives… saying “he’s tripping” and “she’s tripping” and not taking mental illness SERIOUSLY because a mentally ill person who does not get treatment can be a viable threat to everyone’s well-being.
Our people will cry and wail at the funerals when these tragedies happen but WHO in the family ever called the behavior what it was: MENTAL ILLNESS.
Let us do more than lament their loss. Let us be compelled to become more self-examining!
Let’s allow this tragedy to open the conversation on the denial that permeates in black communities and black families about refusing to acknowledge and call OUT mental and emotional illness in our own family units.
I will pray for the comfort and healing of the family.
Let this be a lesson for all.
Peace, blessings and DUNAMIS!
